The vertebrate pax-6 gene product (the pax-6 protein) triggers a complex program of gene expression resulting in formation of th

e vertebrate eye, which has a single lens. the fly pax-6 gene leads to formation of the compound fly eye. when scientists cloned a mouse pax-6 gene and introduced it into a fly embryo, it led to formation of the compound eye of a fly. what did scientists induce from this? the vertebrate pax-6 gene product (the pax-6 protein) triggers a complex program of gene expression resulting in formation of the vertebrate eye, which has a single lens. the fly pax-6 gene leads to formation of the compound fly eye. when scientists cloned a mouse pax-6 gene and introduced it into a fly embryo, it led to formation of the compound eye of a fly. what did scientists induce from this?

The PAX-6 gene is a gene that translates to the PAX-6 protein that serves as a transcription factor needed to activate certain genes that functions in the development of the eyes. While PAX-6 gene may look like it produces different functions for different species (such as formation of the compound eye in insects vs. formation of a single lens eye in vertebrates), it does not. It does in fact only regulate the genes required for the formation of the eyes. Absence or mutation of the PAX-6 gene will cause aniridia or absence of the iris, opaque lens and cornea, and a dysfunctional retina. Also, the function of the PAX-6 protein is conserved throughout evolution of species.

sdas [7]
For the answer to the question above, p<span>unctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that most species will exhibit little net evolutionary change for most of their geological history, remaining in an extended state called stasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and rapid (on a geologic time scale) events of branching speciation called cladogenesis. Cladogenesis is the process by which a species splits into two distinct species, rather than one species gradually transforming into another.</span>

An average number of eggs a bird lays is based on natural selection. If a bird lays too many eggs, there a high chance that she
mr_godi [17]

The correct answer is stabilizing selection.

Stabilizing selection is a kind of natural selection in which the mean of the population steadies on a specific non-extreme trait value. This is considered to be the most general process of action for natural selection as the majority of the traits do not seem to vary radically with time.

Stabilizing selection is the reverse of disruptive selection. In spite of preferring individuals with extreme phenotypes, it favors the transitional variants. Stabilizing selection seems to eradicate the more extreme phenotypes, resulting in the reproductive success of the average or norm phenotypes.

This signifies that the most general phenotype in the population is chosen and continues to govern in the coming generations. As the majority of the traits vary slightly with time, stabilizing selection is considered to be the most usual kind of selection in the majority of the populations.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to incre
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

1) intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters

2) high amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas

3) binding of hormones with receptors on the liver

4) release of hormones from the receptors

5) synthesis of hormones by beta cells

Explanation:

During ingestion of the meal, insulin is produced in response to high blood glucose levels (concentration of glucose increases after digestion of food). Like other hormones, insulin performed its action through binding specific signals to specific receptors e.g, liver, muscle cells.  The high glucose level in the blood send signals through hormones to liver, fat, and muscle cell receptors. These receptors release specific hormones to beta cells of the pancreas. In response to the signals from receptors, beta cells synthesize insulin to minimize glucose levels in the bloodstream.
