Explain why a rock pocket mouse color influence its overall fitness. Remember that "fitness" is defined by an organisms ability

to survive and produce offspring in its environment

Answer:

The rock pocket mice rely on their fur color for camouflage. So, on the tan sand more light colored mice will survive because they blend in and on the dark lava rock more dark colored mice will survive and the allele for dark fur will be passed on to their offspring

A gel electrophoresis migration pattern displaying polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products shows four strong bands. The lengths
dangina [55]

Answer:

D) The encoded protein contains four repeats of a specific sequence.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is a technique used to replicate or amplify the amount of DNA sample.

The technique employs running the DNA samples on the gel through which the DNA samples run based on their sizes.

The large-sized DNA fragment runs to a less distance whereas the small-sized DNA run to a large distance.

In the given question, four sizes of DNA bands are formed in the ratio of  1:2:3:4 which shows that the proteins encoded by this DNA have four repeats of a specific sequence of the template strand. This was confirmed when the largest band sample was again used as a sample of PCR and the PCR resulted in the four bands in similar  1:2:3:4.  

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

Natural selection in the cichlids fish species of Lake Victoria occurred via
Ksju [112]

Where's the evolution?

The physics of light affects not just how blue water looks to us, but how the animals living in the world's oceans, lakes, and rivers are able to find food and each other — and this, in turn, can impact their evolution. Natural selection favors traits that perform well in local environmental conditions. Many fish species, for example, have evolved vision that is specifically tuned to see well in the sort of light available where they live. But even beyond simple adaptation, the physics of light can lead to speciation. In fact, biologists recently demonstrated that the light penetrating to different depths of Africa's Lake Victoria seems to have played a role in promoting a massive evolutionary radiation. More than 500 species of often brightly colored cichlid fish have evolved there in just a few hundred thousand years!

3. Two black rabbits thought to be homozygous for coat colour were mated and produced a litter that contained all black babies.
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Cross each to a rabbit who you know is homozygous - i.e. a white rabbit. If there are any white offspring you know this is the heterozygote.

Explanation:

Heterozygous individuals are those with 2 different alleles of a gene. Homozygous individuals have have 2 alleles that are the same.

Imagine the allele for coat color is B black, or b white. If you cross 2 individuals who are homozygous for the black gene (BB), they would only produce black rabbits in the F1 (BB). If you cross the F1, they could only produce BB rabbits in the F2.

However, if you cross a heterozygous rabbit with a homozygous black rabbit (Bb x BB), you would get either BB or Bb rabbits in the F1. However, intercrossing them could produce BB, Bb, or bb rabbits. Therefore, white rabbits can be produced.

You know that white rabbits are bb. So if you are unsure about the genotype of the black rabbit, you can cross it with a white rabbit (either BB x bb or Bb x bb). If any white rabbits appear in the F1, you know there must be a b allele in the black rabbit genotype, so that rabbit must be heterozygous.
