Scientists recently discovered that there is this specific gene called "Pitx1" that is responsible for the less of pelvic spines in animals 15,000 years ago. Among the most common example of the animals affected by this gene is are the freshwater skittlebacks.

Answer:

c. Physical adaptations to the environment drive the distribution of all three species in the wild.

Explanation:

Options A and B refer to competition between species. The experiment was about the colonizing ability of the three species, and not the interaction among them. So these two options are not correct.

Option D states that species A is better adapted to the upper intertidal zone than the middle or lower. But the table shows that species A is equally adapted to colonize upper and middle intertidal zone, and less adapted to colonize lower zones.

The correct option is C. When these competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation. If there is not any differentiation between them, the dominant species displaces the weak species. In the exposed example,  the three species coexist in the middle and lower zones, which means that they probably have different niches and got adapted to living to their environments. This adaptation to different conditions is what leads to their distribution.    

In the exposed example, species A and B can live in the upper intertidal zone, where species C can not live because they can not tolerate environmental conditions. The three species can live in the middle zone, but still, A and B are more adapted to this area than C. Among A and B, B is the most adapted to living in the upper and middle zones. Species C seems to be very adapted to live in the lower intertidal zone, where species A and B can also live, but are less adapted to this area, probably due to environmental conditions or due to their vulnerability to predation. In this last area, species A is less adapted.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

p53 gene is an important gene that regulates the proper functioning of the cell. This gene plays an important role in the cell cycle progression and acts as genome guardian.

Any mutation in p53 leads to the formation of the different types of cancer cells. The p53 gene is activated by teh phosphorylation at the particular sites.  High levels of phosphorylated p53 in the cell indicates that the cells DNA is highly damaged and mutated.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Triploid egg

Explanation:

Triploid, with three copies of each chromosome. When a diploid sperm fertilizes a haploid egg cell it causes a triploid zygote, which leads to the chromosomalabnormalities in the zygote.
