Historically, African elephants have had large ivory tusks. For many years, poachers (illegal hunters) have been killing elephan

ts that have large tusks so they could sell the ivory, which is valuable. Now many African elephants have small tusks or do not develop tusks at all. Which of the following is true?
The trait of tusk size in elephants has changed over time.


Poaching has had no effect on the size of elephant tusks.


Elephants without tusks are more likely to be hunted than elephants with large tusks.


Elephants without tusks cannot reproduce.

A. Elephants with no or small tusks survive to reproduce and pass on their trait because they are not poached. (Natural selection). So it has changed overtime.

The correct answer is B, I know this because none of the other answers are even reasonable. For example-
A is wrong because the size of elephant tusk has not changed over time, elephant tusk just grow...
C is wrong because it makes no sense to hunt elephants with no tusk :/
D is completely wrong because tusk have nothing to do with reproduction, those are two completely separate bodily functions.........

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The average of the following set of measurements is 20°C.

To find the average of the given set of measurements

Given:

Set of measurements = 27°C, 12°C, 31°C, 19°C, 23°C, 11°C, 17°C

Number of Observations = 7

Average = Sum of observations/Total number of observations

Sum of observations = 27°C+12°C+31°C+19°C+23°C+11°C+17°C

= 140

Total number of observations = 7

Substitute the values in the formula

= 140/7 = 20°C

Therefore, the average of the following set of measurements is 20°C

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Potential targets:

1- DNA methyltransferases

2- Chromatin modifiers such as histone acetyltransferases, histone deacetylases, histone methyltransferases, etc.

3- Components of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery such as Dicer, Argonaute, etc.

Explanation:

Epigenetics can be defined as the study of any heritable change in the phenotype that does not involve modifications in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms can be classified into three major types: 1-DNA methylation, 2-histone modifications (e.g., acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc), and 3-regulatory non-coding RNAs (e.g., miRNAs, lncRNAs, siRNAs, etc) that modulate target gene expression via the RNA interference pathway. There are different types of proteins that are involved in these complex epigenetic mechanisms, and those cited above represent only some examples that can be used as therapeutic targets.

White raven [17]

Answer:

1. The chi-square statistic is 0. The p-value is 1. Not significant at p < .05.

The chi-square statistic with Yates correction is 0.0642. The p-value is .800028. Not significant at p < .05.

Explanation:

2. By generating large sets of data the ratio will remain same (F1 = 3:1, F2 = 9:3:3:1) according to the Chi-Square analysis. In actual reality, it fails to justify by giving a probability value of 1 that is impossible due to the exceptions of Co-Dominance and Incomplete Dominance...
