Answer: The simplest way is to determine if a strain is mutant is observing morphology, growth rate, double time, etc but it is accurate if you can prove if the strain is deficient in one aminoacid or can't metabolize lactose, etc.
Explanation: A wildtype strain functions normally, for example, can metabolize as a carbon source, glucose, lactose and other sugars, can synthesize all the aminoacids requered for protein synthesis, etc. If a strain suffers a mutation and it is inheritable, the strain become a mutant. Since several mutations can be silent ones, only those that interfere with a process, can be assesed easyly.
For example, if you have several strains and put them in a lactose medium, but some of them cannot growth means that are lactose mutants. Those strains could carry a mutation in genes that encode lactose degrading enzymes or in regulatory genes of the lac operon, etc.
Answer:
The correct answer would be C) It increases survival for cuckoos, but decreases survival of the other birds.
The host chicks often face lots of competition from the cuckoo chicks in terms of food as well as space. It makes it difficult for the host chicks to survive.
It has also been found that cuckoo chicks beg to be fed more intensely due to which host chick die due to starvation.
In addition, in some species of cuckoo, cuckoo chicks remove host eggs from the nest within few days of hatching.
Answer:
D) The number of mitochondria has decreased due to long period of rest
You are correct :)
Explanation:
The basketball player requires energy so remember that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell (so it produces energy).
