Answer:
r-selected species (e.g., American bullfrog)
Explanation:
The r-selected species (r-strategists) are those species in which their populations oscillate near the carrying capacity, i.e., the maximum population size sustained by a particular environment. These species are generally located in low-quality (less competitive) ecological niches and produce many offsprings that grow rapidly and have low chances of surviving to adulthood. Some examples of r-strategists include amphibians, fish, small mammals, etc. Conversely, K-selected species have more stable populations and produce a low amount of offspring (e.g., large mammals such as elephants).
Answer:
The correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.
Explanation:
Primary immune response occurs due to the first exposure of an antigen to the immune system. The primary immune response is generally delayed by many days because it takes time for B and T cells to become cloned and to proliferate and differentiate.
Then after several days of proliferation and differentiation of activated T and B cells, T cells become effector T cells and B cell becomes plasma cells which then eliminates the antigen. Memory B and T cells are also produced during this process which helps in generating a quick immune response during the second and subsequent exposure of that antigen.
So the correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.
Answer:
Most TP53 mutations change single amino acids in the p53 protein, which leads to the production of an altered version of the protein that cannot control cell proliferation and is unable to trigger apoptosis in cells with mutated or damaged DNA. As a result, DNA damage can accumulate in cells
Answer:
3/4
Explanation:
If we assume simple dominance and independent assortment for each trait, we can use Mendel's Law of Segregation to predict the phenotypic proportions in the offspring of the parental cross AABBCc x AabbCc.
<h3><u>Gene A</u></h3>
AA x Aa
- F1 genotypes: 1/2 AA, 1/2 Aa
- F1 phenotypes: all A
<h3 /><h3><u>Gene B</u></h3>
BB x bb
- F1 genotypes: 1 Bb
- F1 phenotypes: all B
<h3 /><h3><u>Gene C</u></h3>
Cc x Cc
- F1 genotypes: 1/4 CC, 2/4 Cc, 1/4 cc
- F1 phenotypes: 3/4 C, 1/4 cc
We want to know the proportion of progeny with all dominant phenotype (A_B_C_). Since the genes are independent, we can multiply the probabilities of each gene to obtain the overall probability of having a ABC progeny:
<h3>1 A_ x 1 B_ x 3/4 C_ = 3/4 A_B_C_</h3>
