Answer:
Consider the heterozygous oval, thick cell walled bacteria to have the alleles OoTT and the thin cell walled bacteria to have alleles oott. Results will be 50% oval, thick walled bacteria and 50% round, thick walled bacteria. This will be the F1 progeny.
When the oval, thick walled bacteria from the F1 progeny is cross bred with round, thick walled bacteria then 25 percent of the bacteria will be heterozygous oval, thick walled. 25 percent will be heterozygous oval and heterozygous thick walled. 25 percent will be round and thick walled. 25 percent will be round and thin walled.
Catastrophism is the theory that the Earth has largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope.[1] This is in contrast to uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earth's geological features. The proponents of uniformitarianism held that the present was the key to the past, and that all geological processes (such as erosion) throughout the past were like those that can be observed now. Since the early disputes, a more inclusive and integrated view of geologic events has developed, in which the scientific consensus accepts that there were some catastrophic events in the geologic past, but these were explicable as extreme examples of natural processes which can occur.
Answer: A
Explanation: Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.
Answer:
The bright color of butterflies is a discouraging factor for its prey
Explanation:
Butterflies and caterpillars are easily visible to its prey but still they do not eat any of them. This can be because of two factors –
a) The bright color of these organisms might be a factor that makes them uninteresting (intending to be tasteless etc.) for their prey
b) The bright color might be a signal to the bird indicating in advance of any harm associated with the butterflies/caterpillar feeding.
Hence , instead the Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds, the birds rarely eat the monarchs
One critical observation used by both Lamarck and Darwin in their research is about characteristics of inheritance. Although each claimed different sources of inheritance, they were in unison that in time, individuals acquire characteristics called inheritance. Lamarck believed that inheritance is passed from parents to offspring, while Darwin thought that it’s a product of natural selection.
