(50pts) The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majo

rity of peppered moths had light coloration. However, because of widespread pollution during the Industrial Revolution in England, the dark colored moths became much more common.
Question:

What specifically caused the shift in phenotype of the moths? Please explain in detail.

Answer:

The peppered moth is a temperate species of night-flying moth. Peppered moth evolution is an example of population genetics and natural selection and not artificial selection.

Answer:

The phenotype of the moth changed due to natural selection. During the Industrial Revolution, objects in England became a lot darker in color due to the settling of coal pollutants in the air. These light colored moths did not have good camouflage in this environment. Therefore, most of the light colored moths did not survive to reproduce. However, the dark colored moths had better camouflage, and were therefore more likely to survive and reproduce. This lead to a shift towards darker color moths, as they had a higher survival rate than the light colored moths.

If the integument of an angiosperm seed contains cells with 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would you expect to find in the
OleMash [197]

Answer:

30

Explanation:

The seed of an angiosperm is formed as a result of fertilization (fusion of sperm in pollens and the ova from ovary). According to the question, the cells of the seed which will grow into the plant contains 20 chromosomes. Seeds of angiosperms contain a tissue called ENDOSPERM that forms as a result of the unique DOUBLE FERTILIZATION in angiosperms. It occurs when one haploid sperm cell fuses with two haploid polar nuclei to form a triploid endospermic structure that serves as food for the growing embryo in the seed.

Now based on the above explanation, the diploid plant cell with 20 chromosomes will have 10 chromosomes (half as much) in its gametes as a result of meiosis. This 10 chromosomes in each gamete (sperm and ovum) fuses to form a diploid zygote with 20 chromosomes, while one haploid sperm cell (10 chromosomes) also fuses with two haploid polar nuclei (10 chromosomes each) to form a triploid endosperm with 30 chromosomes i.e. 10+10+10.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1) A, C and D

2) D

Explanation:

The normal hemoglobin is made up of heme and globin. The protein, globin is in turn made up of four polypeptide chains which include two alpha and two beta chains.

The gene gene responsible for the creation of the beta globin chain is located on the short arm of chromosome eleven. It is called the HBB gene. Many mutations occur on the HBB gene and a mutation on this gene produces abnormal hemoglobin like HBS, hbc, and hbe. HBs causes sickle cell anemia.

In sickle cell anemia, there is an alteration of the genetic code, leading to the substitution of a single amino acid where glutamic acid is replaced by valine in the sixth position of the beta chain.

In the mRNA, the change converts a glutamic acid codon(GAG or GAA) to a valine codon(GUA, GUC, GUU or GUG).

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a transversion that leads to a missense mutation.
