The following table provides phenotypic data for a population of mammoths living in cold environments based on fossil and DNA ev

idence.
Characteristic Percent of Population Showing Trait by Generation
Generation 1 Generation 2 Generation 3
Tusks greater than 2.5 m in length 25 25 25
Tusks less than 2.5 m in length 75 75 75
Mass greater than 4,000 kg 15 15 15
Mass less than 4,000 kg 85 85 85
Fur thickness greater than 6 cm 15 25 35
Fur thickness less than 6 cm 85 75 65
Based on this data and your knowledge of natural selection, which explanation best explains the trends seen in the data?

A. Individuals with thicker fur had a survival advantage in the cold environment, allowing these individuals to reproduce more often and create more offspring.
B.Individuals within this population of mammoths tend to only mate with individuals that have thick fur.
C.This population of mammoths appear to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium since no allele frequencies are changing over time.
D.Individuals with thick fur migrated into the population of mammoths, increasing the proportion of these individuals.

Why did short plants reappear in mendel’s F2 generation?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Because the F1 plants all had a lowercase a/short plant allele, there was a 25% chance that two plants would contribute it to their offspring and they both did sometimes to make a aa offpsring.

Explanation:

All the F1 plants were heterozygous, so when they were crossed, the resulting genotypic ratio was 1 AA : 2 Aa : 1 aa.  As you can see, this is the first time since the parent generation that there is a aa genotype and short plant phenotype, so that's why short plants reappeared.

How do researchers prepare an intron-free copy of a eukaryotic gene for use in creating transgenic bacteria?
Tcecarenko [31]

The researchers prepare an intron-free copy of the eukaryotic gene for the use in creating the transgenic bacteria by using the reverse transcriptase to make the cDNA from the mature mRNA

The structure of the eukaryotic genes. Most of the eukaryotic genes are contain the segments of the coding sequences (exons) that interrupted by the noncoding sequences (introns). Both the exons and the introns are transcribed to yield a long and primary RNA transcript.

Eukaryotic DNA is the linear, compacted into the chromosomes by the histones, and has the telomeres at each end to protect from the deterioration. The Prokaryotes contain the circular DNA in addition to the smaller, transferable DNA plasmids. Eukaryotic cells contain the mitochondrial DNA in the addition to the nuclear DNA
