Answer: D. Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation: Lamarck believed that organisms pass on traits to their offspring that they had acquired through use or diuse during their lifetime.  In this example, the theory would be that over time, elephants used their trunks in such a way that they became long and powerful.

Suppose that Gene B occurs in a sea turtle gene pool where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 all
disa [49]

Answer:

Frequency of the B3 allele = 0.1

Explanation:

The allele frequencies in a given population remain constant which means that every generation will have the same gene pool across the generations. As per Hardy Weinberg’s first equilibrium equation, the sum of frequency of all the alleles at a given locus is equal to one  

Thus, if "p" represents the frequency of B1 allele and "q" represents the frequency of B2 allele and "r" represents the allele for B3 allele. Then, sum or "p", "q" and "r" is equal to one.

p+q+r = 1\\

Substituting the given values, we get -

0.5 + 0.4 + r = 1\\0.9 + r = 1\\r = 1-0.9\\r = 0.1

Which of the proposed models for the mechanism of initial transcription suggests that the entire RNA polymerase enzyme moves alo
Degger [83]

Answer:

The right answer is Letter A

Explanation:

The proposed model for the mechanism of initial transcription that suggests the entire RNA polymerase enzyme moves along the DNA is <em>transient-excursion model</em>, and the proposed model that is best supported by experimental findings is<em> scrunching model.</em>

<em>Because RNA polymerase leaves the promoter, translocate a short way along DNA template, synthesizes a short transcript before aborting transcript, releasing the transcript and returning to its original location on promoter. That is the transient-excursion model.</em>

<em>The scrunching model downstream DNA is pulled into the enzyme and has accumulated within the enzyme as single stranded bulges.</em>

<em>Experiments show that scrunching is right, experiments using single molecule analyses that allow the positions of different parts of polymerase to be measured relative to each other and to the template DNA during transcription.</em>
