Answer:

scientist can learn how the rat has evolved based on where they live. it also helps find what the common ancestor was and all the common traits they have, for example rats in Norway may be used to the cold. and the rats in africa need to adapt to the heat and the constant threat of them being eaten.

It certainly is possible that the North American population has to carry different mutations than a population of Norway rats in Africa. Genetic mutation is a random event, and the alleles resulting from mutation may rise in frequency and be fixed within the population if they provide a benefit to the fitness of the individuals with that allele. One random mutation could occur in the North American population and not be found in the African population because the occurrence of this mutation is random. It is also possible that the two populations carry the same mutations. This would be the case if the mutation occurred either if the mutation occurred in a common ancestor, or if the mutation occurred prior to the 2 populations becoming allopatric. By studying the genomes of each population scientists will be able to determine when certain mutations occurred. Mutations found in one population and not the other occurred more recently, while mutations found in both populations occurred further back in evolutionary time, and may have originated in a common ancestor.

A polypeptide only becomes a functioning protein after it has folded into its exact 3D shape.
makkiz [27]
True. A protein becomes functional only when it reaches its tertiary shape (3D). It is not necessary for the protein to reach the quaternary stage, but that is just a more complex functioning protein. It really is just two tertiary merged together. Example is red blood cells.

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, what causes a struggle for survival in populations? *
goblinko [34]

Answer:

n a population, more individuals are born than can survive. The available resources in nature are finite (food, water, space, etc.) and the environment is not able to support unlimited growth of a population. This causes an inevitable struggle for existence among individuals (continual struggle for existence).Explanation:

When two hormones must be present to achieve full expression of an effect, that interaction is called ______________.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Synergism

Explanation:

Synergism means cooperation, and is a term of Greek origin (synergy). Synergy is a work or effort to accomplish a certain very complex task, and to be able to succeed in the end. Synergy is the moment when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

In physiology, synergism occurs when the effect of two or more combined chemical agents is greater than the sum of individual effects. Concerning hormones, synergism happens when two hormones must be present for the full expression of an effect. That is, two hormones act for a certain purpose.

Example: FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and estrogen cause oocyte maturation, but this only occurs if neither acts in isolation.

Mrac [35]
Birds migrating in the winter would be a behavioral adaptation. The rest of the adaptations would be structural or physiological because they are controlled by mutations in the DNA. <span />
