C , because Each strand of DNA acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. Replication produces two identical DNA double helices, each with one new and one old strand.
Answer:
63 MYA
Explanation:
Morris Goodman was a editor-in-chief of the journal Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution.
In his classification, every organism was traced back to its last common ancestors, and he traced that of primates last common ancestors to be dated as far back as 63 MYA.
Answer: 4.25%
Explanation:
As at Friday, May 28, 2021, the population of the United States of America is about 332,754,370. The population of the world is about 7,868,904,000.
Therefore, the percentage of the global population lives in the United States is about 4.25% that's 332,754,370/7,868,904,000 × 100%.
Answer:
D. If all of the offspring are short-tailed, the unknown individual is the homozygous dominant genotype.
Explanation:
The short tail phenotype is completely dominant over the long tail phenotype. When a short tailed salamander with unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive long tailed salamander, the cross is called testcross. Lets assume that the allele "S" gives "short tail" phenotype while the allele "s" gives "long tail" phenotype.
If the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is homozygous dominant (SS), the process of the testcross will express only dominant trait (cross 1). On the other hand, if the "short tailed salamander" with unknown genotype is heterozygous dominant (Ss), segregation of alleles during gamete formation would form two types of gametes (cross 2). The 50% progeny would express the "long tail" phenotype while rest 50% will express the "short tail" phenotype.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.
There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.
Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.
C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.
