Answer:
b. skin from mouse 2
Explanation:
According to this question, a mice skin transplant is being conducted. Four mice labelled Mouse 1, Mouse 2, Mouse 3 and Mouse 4 are used for this experiment. A small patch of skin from mouse 2 (the donor) was transplanted onto mouse 1 (the recipient), however, it was eventually rejected by the recipient (mouse 1).
This transplant rejection is due to the fact that the recipient's immune system identifies the tansplanted skin as foreign, hence, begins to attack it, leading to the skin's necrosis or death. Based on this, the same transplant rejection will occur if skin patches from mouse 3 and 4 are used.
However, the immune system of mouse 1, which is the recipient, will identify skin patches from MOUSE 2 as less foreign than any other skin from other mice. This is because skin from that mouse has been used before, hence, the recipient's immune recognizes it when a follow-up transplant is conducted. This makes a follow-up transplant from MOUSE 2 be the least likely to be rejected.
Answer:
C. Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.
D. Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.
E. Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.
Explanation:
The presence of genetic variations among the individuals of a population is required for natural selection to be operative. Natural selection targets the beneficial genetic variations present in the population. Natural selection refers to the differential reproductive and survival success of organisms of a population due to some beneficial genetic traits. These organisms with beneficial genetic traits are able to survive and leave more progeny under prevailing conditions.
If the natural selection has occurred in the ground finch population for the beak size, the beak size should be a genetic trait since natural selection works on genetic traits only. The finch population should have variations with respect to the beak size. The finches having the larger beak size that enabled them to feed on larger, tougher seeds should have higher survival and reproductive fitness during the drought.
Under these conditions, natural selection would favor the finches with larger beak size and would eventually result in an increase in the average beak size of the future generations.
Since parent of both Justin and his wife Brittany have blood group ab, this means Justin is homozygous(aa) for blood group a and similarly his his wife Brittany is also homozygous (bb) for blood group b. Therefore, Justin and Brittany's son Theodore will certainly have ab blood group.
