The correct answer is B. The percentage of crabs with large claws would increase.

Explanation:

Crabs with large claws have more chances to survive and reproduce; this biological advantage will make most of these crabs to successfully reproduce through generations and pass this feature to their offspring. On the opposite, crabs with smaller pincers do not have this reproductive or survival advantage, this implies many crabs with small pincers will not survive a long time or will not reproduce, and therefore this trait will not past to their offspring. Moreover, this situation will cause after many generations the large claws trait prevails, while the small claws trait decreases because crabs with larger claws are more suitable. According to this, it is expected the percentage of crabs with large claws would increase.

mr Goodwill [35]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

(a)DNA (b)tRNA (c)rRNA (d)mRNA

Answer:

Option-mRNA

Explanation:

The mRNA is synthesized from the DNA and which is also a type of nucleic acid. When the nucleic acid is extracted from the yeasts and then mixed with the resin beads to which the polynucleotide with thymine base oar is attached.

The mRNA will bind to the resin bead as the mRNA after synthesis undergoes modification and attaches poly A tail to the end of the mRNA at 3' end.

This poly-A tail has adenine which easily binds to the thymine and thus mRNA easily attaches to the resin bead.

Thus, mRNA is correct.

The distant ancestors of tigers may have had bodies without stripes. Use the theory of natural selection to explain how tigers m
Degger [83]

The tigers have stripes because it is advantageous for them because they are an ambush predator and need good camouflage. The stripes are excellent camouflage for places that are shady, so the tiger can easily get close to its prey and attack it.

There's a very big possibility that the distant ancestors of the tigers did not had stripes. The reasons for that are different environment, but also that the stripes are actually a very rare type of pattern among the felidae family members.

As the environment started changing, the tigers needed to adapt to it, so they also needed a different camouflage. As some tigers in the population started to develop stripes, they were better hunters, thus were stronger, and seen as suitable mates for the females, as it would provide an offspring with the advantage that the male tiger has. Through this selection in the breeding process of mates that have advantageous camouflage patterns, the stripes were becoming more and more present, to the point where they totally pushed aside and eliminated the previously dominant camouflage pattern.

Aside absorbing water and nutrients, what other functions do the roots serve?
AfilCa [17]
<span>Aside from absorbing water and nutrients in the ground, roots are also the very support of a tree. It supports bigger trees to stand and stay steady against heavy rains and strong winds. Roots are also capable of absorbing water that may cause flood in the area, and support slopes that may result to landslides. Roots are very important because it lessen the chances of soil erosion in a certain place. Roots can also be used for plant vegetations.</span>

A gene may be described as
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The correct answer for the fill in the blank is - A sequence of bases on the DNA that codes for a trait.

Gene is described as a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a particular protein, which in turn corresponds to a trait/ characteristic of the living organism.

Gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA) through a process called transcription. mRNA is then converted into protein through a process called translation.

The protein thus formed corresponds to a particular trait ( like eye color, hair color).

i hope this helps
