There is a multitude of evidence that supports how life has changed over time due to variation in the gene pool of different spe

cies. Which of the following choices below represents a scientific theory that explains these changes? *
A. As environments and ecosystems change over time, those that acquire suitable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce and the gene pool changes because organisms must adapt to survive and reproduce.
B. As environments and ecosystems change over time, those with variations for traits that are more successful in the new conditions are more likely to survive and reproduce, thus changing the allele frequency in the gene pool.
C. Because the environments and ecosystems show little change over time, organisms are already adapted for surviving in their given habitats for which they are made.
D. Because the environments and ecosystem show little change of time, the organisms that choose to adapt to different environments will migrate and become suited for new habitats.

Answer: A. Environmental drivers plus genetic variation in the population result in natural selection

Explanation: over geological time environmental conditions change. Organisms do not survive in one environmental niche with traits adapted to a possible future change that might suit those traits. Adaptation is not a matter of choice: adapt if possible or go extinct.

There is a (badly named) concept called pre-adaptation, which is that variations in some existing trait render adaptation to a different environment more likely.

A person is told to take 1.25 mg of vitamin d daily. how many 0.125-mg tablets should this person take?
vovikov84 [41]
This is a simple calculation involving drug doses.

The solution is as follows:

(0.125 mg/tablet)(n) = 1.25 mg
n = (1.25 mg)/(0.125 mg/tablet)
n = 10 tablets

So a person needs to take ten 0.125 mg tablets of vitamin D to have that 1.25 mg dose.

Describe one observation that supports the theory that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated as independent prokaryotic organ
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

  • Both organelles present their genetic material.
  • Both organelles divide by binary fission
  • Both organelles present a double membrane, the internal one looks identical to the bacterial membrane, while the external membrane looks like the eukaryotic one.
  • In the internal membrane are placed the energy centers, just as it occurs in bacterias membrane.
  • The sizes of the organelles are similar to the size of some procaryotes

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory essentially states that some organules of the eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were once free-living bacteria. Probably, these organisms must have been phagocytized but not digested by another cell. These bacteria were able to adapt to their host, establishing a bond of dependence among each other.

Both organelles have many similarities with other free-living bacteria. For this reason, the theory states that chloroplasts derivate from cyanobacteria (because they both absorb sunlight, store the energy in ATP, and produce organic molecules) and that mitochondria derivate from rickettsias (because they produce ATP in the same way, by using the Krebs Cycle and Oxidative Phosphorylation).

This theory is supported by a few characteristics of the chloroplasts and mitochondria that suggest that they once were free cells. For example,

  • Both organelles present their genetic material. This DNI is independent of the cells´ DNA, is bi-catenary and circular, identical to the bacterial DNA, and very different from the one of the eukaryotic cells.
  • Both organelles divide by binary fission, not by mitosis, and can synthesize their ribosomes and organelles.
  • Both organelles present a double membrane, a characteristic that reinforces the idea of being phagocyted. The internal membrane looks identical to the bacterial membrane, while the external membrane looks like the eukaryotic one.
  • In fact, in this internal membrane are placed the energy centers, just as it occurs in bacterias membrane.
  • Finally, the sizes of the organelles are similar to the size of some procaryotes
