The most likely explanation for this phenomena is that this is a result of natural selection.
What actually happened?
When the insecticide was introduced, it killed all of the organisms that were vulnerable to it. However, there was a portion of the population that was immune. Since the immune individuals were the only ones that have survived and left offspring, after some generations in the population of this organism there were only their descendants that have the resistance to the insecticide.
Biology > Cell biology > Passive transport
There are different types of transport in the cell that can be classified into two groups: passive transport (which does not require energy) and active transport (which requires energy because it goes against the concentration gradient).
Diffusion is a type of passive transport and it does not require energy, it can be divided into simple diffusion (molecules pass through the membrane without the help of any channel) and facilitated diffusion (molecules pass through the membrane with the help of a protein channel).
Facilitated diffusion will transport certain molecules and simple diffusion others. Larger, polar and charged molecules will need help to cross the membrane, so they will do so by facilitated diffusion. Therefore, the answer is D.
He went to the Galapagos Islands and studied the difference in sea-turtles shells and birds beaks.
Answer:
A) 0.1 a, 0.9 A
Explanation:
According to the given information, all the individuals in the founder population had free earlobes. Since the allele for the free earlobes (A) is dominant over the one for the attached earlobes (a), the genotype of each of the homozygous dominant founder individual would be "AA". Humans are diploid and one individual has two alleles for each gene in its genome. Total number of alleles for the earlobe in the founder population = 10 x 2 = 20.
Frequency of dominant allele, A in the founder population = total number of homozygous dominant individuals x 2 + the total number of heterozygous genotype / total alleles for the earlobe in the population. There were 8 homozygous dominant and 2 heterozygous dominant individuals in the population.
So, frequency of dominant allele = 8 x 2 + 2 / 20 = 16 + 2 / 20 = 18/20 = 0.9
Since p+q=1; frequency of recessive allele "a" = 1-p = 1-0.9 = 0.1
Answer: Option C.
The origin that vastus medialis and vastus lateral is share is LINEA ASPERA OF THE FEMUR.
Explanation:
Vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles are part of quardriceps muscle group found on the thigh.
Vastus medialis is the most inner and medial of quadriceps and its extend the the leg at the knee while vastus lateralis muscles is said to be the most powerful quadriceps and extend the knee joint to stabilize the leg.
Vastus medialis and vastus lateral is share the same origin which is lines aspera of the femur.
