<u>Answer</u>: Option A Pollution free environment increasing lichen growth.

<u>Explanation</u> :

  • The peppered moth has two varieties dark and light.
  • The difference in colour of these two moths is due to <em>industrial melanism</em> which resulted in the evolution of these moths.
  • Earlier, in a pollution free environment the moths were majorly light coloured as they could easily camouflage against the bark of the tree covered with lichen.
  • However, with industrialization the gases like suplhur dioxide killed the lichens covering the tree and hence, the moths evolved to be of darker color to easily camouflage against the now lichen free dark bark.

Thus, in a <em>pollution free environment </em>the lichen growth will <em>increase</em> and thus, the dark moths will find it difficult to camouflage and hence, <em>there population will decrease.</em>

How does the chance of a coin landing on each side compare to the chance that a gamete cell will receive a particular gene at me
tresset_1 [31]
The chance of a coin landing heads or tails is 50% for each individual time. It doesn't matter what the previous throws resulted in. If you flip a coin ten times you can get ten heads, but the probability is still 50% for each toss. The same holds true with gametes. The probability is 50% at the production of each individual cell.

For many generations, the following genotypic frequencies were observed in a large population of dinosaurs: 4 percent AA, 32 per
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

C) 19.7%

Explanation:

The new population distribution after climate change wiped out homozygous recessive dinosaurs is:

AA = \frac{4}{4+32}=\frac{1}{9}

Aa = \frac{32}{4+32}=\frac{8}{9}

The percentage of offspring of this new population that are homozygous recessive is given by:

P(Aa\ x\ Aa) = \frac{8}{9} *\frac{8}{9} =\frac{64}{81} \\P(aa) = \frac{1}{4}\\P(Aa\ x\ Aa) \cap P(aa) = \frac{64}{81}*\frac{1}{4} =0.197=19.7\%\\

19.7% of these newborn dinosaurs died

1) Interphase is the longest phase and most of the cells are present in that very stage !!


2) Interphase is the longest phase and Anaphase is the shortest phase !! Interphase is the longest phase as in this phase the cells prepare themselves for dividing and it takes most of the time for gathering energy for division ; in this phase DNA also replicate !!


3)
Interphase: DNA replicates;

Prophase: Nuclear membrane starts disappearing and Centrioles go on opposite poles !! DNA condense to form Chromosome.

Metaphase: Chromosome attach to spindle fibre and starts to move to equitorial plate.

Anaphase: Centromere divide and half the chromatid goes on either pole

Telophase: Nuclear membrane starts to reassemble; Chrmosome goes to normal uncoiled state ; Other organelles starts appearing

Cytokinesis: Cell furrow forms and cell divides into two half.


4) In dividing cell nucleus membrane is absent while in non dividing cell the membrane is intact


5) Tip of the onion root is meristamatic cell which divides but if it is permanent cell ; there would be no division !!
