You have spent time working with a population of beetles. Males range in size from 2 to 6 cm in body length. You realize that th

e females only mate with males that measure less than 3 cm long. If you measured allele frequencies at a single locus that contributes to overall body length, would you expect this population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for the body length gene from one generation to the next?

Answer:

b. No

Explanation:

For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is necessary that the crossings be made completely at random, in the most random way possible. This is not what is happening in the population shown in the question above. This is because if, females only mate with males that are 3 cm long, it means that the crossings are not random, this is occurring preferentially in a specific group of males.

Answer:

B. No

Explanation:

First, let's watch what it looks like when a population is not evolving. If a population is in a state called Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequencies of alleles, or gene versions, and genotypes, or sets of alleles, in that population will stay the same over generations (and will also satisfy the Hardy-Weinberg equation). Formally, evolution is a change in allele frequencies in a population over a very long period of time, so a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is not evolving.

Why is it important to use the mRNA to code for the amino acids?
Fynjy0 [20]

It will all make more sense if you start from the beginning of the sequence with the structure of DNA. You will remember that messenger RNA contains a sequence of bases which, read three at a time, code for the amino acids used to make protein chains. Each of the sets of three bases is known as a codon.

4. Which of the following describes a long term effect of exercise on<br> breathing rate?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Effects of exercise on breathing

During exercise there is an increase in physical activity and muscle cells respire more than they do when the body is at rest.

Woman jogging along a tree-lined path in a park.Exercise increases the rate and depth of breathing

The heart rate increases during exercise. The rate and depth of breathing increases - this makes sure that more oxygen is absorbed into the blood, and more carbon dioxide is removed from it.

The rate of breathing can be measured by counting the number of breaths in one minute. The depth of breathing can be measured using a spirometer (a device that measures the volume of air inhaled and exhaled).

To investigate the effects of exercise on breathing, record the rate of breathing for a few minutes when the person is at rest. After they do some exercise, record their rate of breathing every minute until it returns to the normal resting value.

How are DNA and cellular reproduction linked in the process of inheritance?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]
Inheritance is the process by which traits are passed from the parents to their offspring. The basic unit of inheritance in human is the DNA. For traits  to be passed from the parent to the offspring, the DNA in the cell must be duplicated and this happens through the process of cellular reproduction.
