What factors should we consider when determining why the chicken "loses" to the fox? A chicken can fly and perch on higher place

s than the fox can likely get to. Does one animal have worse hearing than the other? Or are its other senses not as keen? Does one animal sleep more soundly or just more than the other? What necessary information would you need to determine why one of these animals (the fox) tends to always come out on top when in some other scenarios the obvious result does not turn out as expected? Fully explain your rationale. Identify a different real-world situation and interpret the results of the outcome. Were the results expected? Fully explain your rationale.

Answer:

Domestic chicken evolved by artificial selection and therefore they are less adapted to survive in nature where prey populations coexist with the predators (like the fox).

Explanation:

Commercial chicken (<em>Gallus gallus domesticus</em>) is the result of the artificial selection exerted by early farmers in China 8,000 years ago. Artificial selection is aimed at benefiting one or more particular traits in detriment of others. Domestic chickens were selected by humans to produce fast-growing meat animals in detriment of traits found in wild progenitors of modern chicken. In consequence, the processes of artificial selection result in a loss in genetic diversity in traits that are not being selected including, for example, phenotypic characteristics associated with the ability to avoid predators.

Protein X is a protein that is composed of four subunits of equal size--alpha, beta, delta, and gamma--that are bound by either
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is e3

Explanation:

The given protein in the question proteib X contain four subunits of equal size alpha,beta,delta and gamma which are bound by either noncovalent interactions or disulfide bridges and only beta and delta subunits are bound to each other by disulfide bridges.

  As a result when the protein will undergo fragmentation it will generate 3 bands because the interaction that is present between alpha and beta subunit will break resulting in the formation of 2 bands. Now the most important fact is that the beta subunit is linked to delta subunit by di sulfide bond so when betamarcaptoethanol will act on protein X it will break the disulsulfide bond present between the beta and delta subunit to reduce both the subunit.

  Finally the interaction that is present between delta subunit and gamma subunit will be broken down to release the delta subunit which will form a single band during SDS PAGE..

How are variations in adaptation similar? how are they different?
AVprozaik [17]
Common mistakes and misconceptions
Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations. Random mutations are the initial cause of new heritable traits.
