The genes in a population give forth the genetic variability across a population (genotypes). In addition, occasional mutations of these genes in a population increase this genetic variability. Hovever, natural selection only favours reproduction of individuals with genes that are favourable in the environment/habitat. Therefore, natural selection has no foresight but is rather pegged on being an ‘opportunistic’ process.
Answer:
Option A, shared their data with colleagues to obtain feedback on the work.
Explanation:
All researchers prefer to share their findings with their peers or other researchers working in the same field to get their reviews. This step is very essential as it makes the research authentic and removes the flaws that would have otherwise missed by the researcher.
Peer reviewers also give useful suggestion to further modify one’s research study based on their experiences.
Hence, option A is correct
Answer:
Option B, They generally focus on one target insect to ensure that the target insect population remains low.
Explanation:
Biological pest control methodologies are focused towards a specific species of pest and do not harm the non-targeted species. These methods are environment friendly and do not produce any harmful residues. Also they do not develop any kind of resistance in species due to which the same bio pesticide can be used again and again. Since these methods have high specificity, they may require usage of two or more bio pesticides all together.
Hence, option B is correct
Answer:
d.The transferred traits were heritable.
Explanation:
Griffith's experiments with S. pneumoniae were significant because they showed that traits could be transferred from one organism to another and these transferred traits are known to be as heritable traits. In another experiment carried out by Hershey and Chase experiment it was confirmed by the results that DNA is actually the hereditary material not the protein.
Correct answer: D). The organism is buried in sediment and then dissolved by underground water
Mold is a copy of an organism, it is formed like the first layer of sediments harden and forms a mold. Then after that new layer of sediment fills and become hardens.
The fossil is left behind in sediment, which removes the remains of an organism from its surrounding material. The groundwater along with its mineral content dissolves the organic matter to form the fossil.
