Diane Dodd, of Yale University, divided a fruit-fly population, raising some populations on a starch medium and others on a malt

ose medium. After many generations, natural selection resulted in divergent evolution: Populations raised on starch digested starch more efficiently, while those raised on maltose digested maltose more efficiently. Dodd then put flies from the same or different populations in mating cages and measured mating frequencies. Which of the statements is best supported by the data? A) There is no evidence of reproductive isolation between the starch-adapted flies and maltose-adapted flies. B) The maltose adapted flies will never mate with the starch adapted flies because they are two different species. C) The starch adapted flies and maltose adapted flies appear to now be separate species as defined by the biological species concept. D) The starch adapted flies and maltose adapted flies are not different species but a reproductive barrier is forming between the two populations.

Answer:

D) The starch adapted flies and maltose adapted flies are not different species but a reproductive barrier is forming between the two populations.

Explanation:

The preference of starch and maltose flies to mate with their own types indicates beginning of the formation of reproductive barrier between them. And the population is exhibiting divergent evolution. It would lead to formation of two different species after several generations. But right now, the barrier is not fully formed as indicated by presence of some mating between two types of flies.

What happens to the daughter cells after cell division
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.

Why is the karyotype for people with Turner syndrome written as 45XO
Kryger [21]

The number 45 means that the subject has 44 normal autosomal chromosomes (22 chromosomes pairs) plus one (1) good sex chromosome (out of the normal homologous pair). The X0 means that the subject, usually a female, lacks one sister chromosome of the homologous X chromosome pair, or has a partial X sister chromosome.

Many mutations have been identified in the lac operon. A particular mutation in the CRP gene make the CRP protein bind to the Pl
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. + glucose, + lactose  = On

b. - glucose, - lactose  = Off

c. + glucose, - lactose  = Off

d. - glucose, + lactose = On

Explanation:

Lac operon has both types of control, repressible and inducible.

Whenever glucose level is low in the cell, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase raises the level of cAMP which forms a dimer with CRP protein and they both act as activator of lac operon and cause expression.

Apart from this, when lactose is present in the cell, β-galactosidase enzyme metabolizes lactose to form allolactose which causes allosteric repulsion in the lac repressor and causes its removal from the operator. As soon as repressor is removed lac operon gets activated.

In wild type lac operons, the expression of lac operon occurs when glucose level is low in the cell and lactose is present but in this mutant presence or absence of glucose will not make a difference because CRP will bind Plac promoter independent of cAMP level i.e. activator CRP will work even in high glucose concentration. If lactose is present then lac operon will always express so in option 'a & d' lac operon will express but in option 'b & c' it will not express.

What kind of relationship would a hummingbird and a daffodil have?
Pani-rosa [81]
C. Mutuality Relationship.
They have a mutual relationship by which both benefit.
When the hummingbird takes a sip off the daffodil, they are not sucking their strength out, they are simply sucking out pollen, which they then transfer to other flowers.
This process benefits both the plant and the bird.
