Answer:
Natural selection
Explanation:
Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution in which organisms evolve in order to adapt the changes in the habitat for their survival. Living organisms are naturally variable and adjust themselves according to their surroundings.
In the given example, bats in Texas evolve themselves with longer hang claws to adapt the rocky nature of the surrounding. These longer hang claws provide them the ability to cling to the rock, which is an adaptive feature of bats that is influenced by the environment.
Hence, the correct option is "Natural selection".
Inherited=came from mom and dad
An inherited trait could be their height. They could have inherited tall height from their parents.
Acquired=learned through practice
An acquired trait could be shooting the ball.
Answer:
The synthesis of an amino acid follows this pathway: precursor A → intermediate B → amino acid C. Each reaction is catalyzed by a different enzyme. This metabolic pathway is controlled by feedback inhibition with amino acid C inhibiting the conversion of precursor A to intermediate B. Amino acid C acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of the first enzyme in the pathway.
Explanation:
A no-competitive inhibitor reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding at its active site although it has already bound to the corresponding substrate
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
The genetic code utilised by almost every organism are the same, as in the same sequences of codon codes for the same amino acid in almost every organism, thus the genetic code is said to be universal.
Answer:
1.875 is the expected number of children the couple will have.
Explanation:
<em>The probability of an event </em><em>X</em><em> is denoted by </em><em>P(X)</em><em>.</em>
Let assume that X is the number of children to whom the couple will give birth. The couple can have at most <em>four children</em> with the following probabilities.
- The couple will have one child if the first is boy, thus:
For one child P(X)=1/2=0.50
- The couple will have two children if the first is girl and the second is a boy, thus:
For two children P(X)=0.5×0.5=0.25
- The couple will have three children if the first two are girls and the third is a boy, thus:
For three children P(X)= 0.5×0.5×0.5=0.125
- The couple will have four children if the first three are girls and the fourth is a boy, or if all the four are girls. thus:
For four children P(X) =(0.5×0.5×0.5×0.5)+(0.5×0.5×0.5×0.5)=0.125
<u>Now calculating the expected number of children the couple will have:</u>
NOTE: Formula is given in the attached pic
Expected number of children = E(X)= (1×0.50)+(2×0.25)+(3×0.125)+(4×0.125)
E(X)= 1.875
