1) Two tubes are inoculated from the same tube containing a bacterial culture. The cultures are then transferred every day for t

wo months. All of the media and growth conditions are the same in every tube. After two months of cultivation, the fitness and genotype frequencies of the populations in the two tubes are compared. The fitness of the two cultures is the same, but the genotype frequencies are very different in the two cultures. How is this possible

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Genetic drift within the small populations in the test tubes resulted in different genotype frequencies

Explanation:

Genetic drift is not like natural selection or adaptive radiation as it is a phenomenon that is random and does not takes place on the basis of genes being beneficial or harmful for survival. Genetic drift depends on any kind of error when the shift occurs in successive generations. Genetic drift also altered the allele frequency of a particular characteristic in future generations.

In this experiment, the sample cultures are transfer from one test tube to another on daily basis for a time period of two months There must be some sampling error that occured and caused the change in allelic frequency as natural selection cannot undergo under such a small population or within such short life span or time period only genetic drift can cause it.

makkiz [27]
In multi-celullar organisms , the cell cycle produces groups of cells that perform the same function. These groups of cells form what it is called a tissue. A tissue is made up of cells that all are specialised to perform the same function. A bunch of tissues form an organ. Organs are more complex in structure and functions.
lots of different organs together form an organ system.

Rachael wants to test how sunlight impacts plant growth over time. She will add varying amounts of light to different sets of pl
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Independent variable: varying amounts of light

Dependent variable: plant growth

Explanation:

The variable, which are factors that can be altered, in an experiment can either be independent or dependent. An independent variable is one in which the experimenter manipulates or controls in order to bring about an outcome. For this experiment conducted by Rachel, the independent variable is the VARYING AMOUNT OF LIGHTS.

The dependent variable is the variable that responds to changes of the independent variable. In other words, the dependent variable is the outcome of manipulating the independent variable. Hence, the dependent variable is dependent on the independent variable. For Rachel's experiment, the PLANT GROWTH is the dependent variable because it is what responds to changes in amount of light (independent variable).
