There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c

olored with red and white stripes. The second species, Caridina multidentata, is more mottled drab in coloration. Fish have an easier time finding and eating Caridina cantonensis due to their bright colors. When each of these species reproduce they produce about 100 offspring, but only 30% Caridina cantonensis offspring survive to reproductive age, while 75% Caridina multidentata offspring survive to reproductive age. In this situation what is natural selection selecting for? In this situation what is natural selection selecting against? How do you predict this population will evolve? Identify how each of the listed conditions from the above scenario that influence natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.  

In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.  

The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.  

The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age  whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.

The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.

Facts about vesicles
Arturiano [62]
<span>Vesicles are small, membrane-bounded spheres that contain various macromolecules. Some vesicles, as we have seen, are used to transport macromolecules from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi body, and from the Golgi body to various destinations. Special kinds of vesicles perform other functions as well. Lysosomes are vesicles that contain enzymes involved in cellular digestion. Some protists, for instance, engulf other cells for food. In a process called phagocytosis, the protist surrounds a food particle and engulfs it within a vesicle. This food containing vesicle is transported within the protist's cytoplasm until it is contiguous with a lysosome. The food vesicle and lysosome merge, and the enzymes within the lysosome are released into the food vesicle. The enzymes break the food down into smaller parts for use by the protist.</span>

In pigs, curly tails (T) are dominant over straight tails (t). If a pig is heterozygous for a curly tail, what is the pig's geno
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The pig's genotype is Tt

Explanation:

As mentioned in the question that curly hair allele T is dominant over straight tail allele t.

A heterozygous organism is that in which both alleles for a trait are different. Since Curly hair allele T is dominant over straight tail t, it means that the pig with curly tail and heterozygous genotype will definitely have a genotype of Tt.

Hope it helps! :)
