As you study two closely related predatory insect species, the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles, you notice that each

species seeks prey at dawn in areas without the other species. However, where their ranges overlap, the two-spot avenger beetle hunts at night and the three-spot hunts in the morning. When you bring them into the laboratory and isolate the two different species, you discover that the offspring of both species are nocturnal. You have discovered an example of ________.a. Batesian mimicry
b. mutualism
c. resource partitioning
d. character displacement

Answer:

d. Character displacement

Explanation:

Character displacement is the phenomenon in which the similar species living in the same geographical region with similar niches differentiate in order to reduce their niche overlap and avoid competitive exculsion. Just like in this case of two- spot and three -spot avenger beetles as their timmings for hunting is different where their ranges overlap. So it's the good example of character displacement,

Answer: The correct answer is option D

CHARACTER DISPLACEMENT

Explanation: Character displacement is a type of evolutionary change or divergence,in character displacement, two similar species inhabit the same environment. under such conditions, natural selection favors a divergence in the characters,morphology(forms), ecology (relations of organisms to one another and to their physical surroundings), behaviors, or physiology (functions) of the organisms.

Character displacement is caused by when similar species that live in the same geographical region, occupying similar niches differentiate themselves so as to minimize/reduce niche overlap and avoid competitive exclusion/ behaviours among themselves.

From the explanation given,character displacement is clearly seen in the avenger beetles from the question.

The inner core is made of solid iron, the outer core is very dense liquid of iron and sulfur, The lower mantle is the layer just outside the outer core, the upper mantle is made of large plates that move, the crust is the thin, rigide layer of the earth, the lithosphere is the layer that includes the asthenosphere, and the asthenosphere is the plastic portion of the upper mantle of earth. Hope this helps.

In colorectal cancer, some tumor suppressor genes are inactive. This is an important factor resulting in uncontrolled cell divis
tresset_1 [31]

Answer/Explanation:

(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein

To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.

To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.

(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.

To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.

To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR
