The new population that experienced natural selection is now better fit or more adapted to the environment than the old population
The answer is logistic growth.
It is modeled by an S-shaped curve. Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum individuals of a population that a habitat can sustain indefinitely
given the limited resources in the environment. Before this number
is achieved, the population grows exponentially and slows as it gets close. When
the K number is reached, the stationary phase enters.
Answer:
The correct answer is b. He determined that DNA contains four nitrogenous bases.
Explanation:
Levene was an American biochemist who studied the structure of DNA in the early 1900s and in 1920 he found that DNA consists of four nitrogenous bases that are Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine.
He also found deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group and said that nucleotide is the basic unit of DNA which contains a ribose sugar with attached nitrogenous base and phosphate group.
He also concludes that an equal amount of adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine makes the DNA which is now known as tetranucleotide hypothesis. So the correct answer is b. He determined that DNA contains four nitrogenous bases.
Answer choices:
- A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
- A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
- A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
- A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell
Answers:
A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
Explanation:
Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.
Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
