The Atlantic puffin feeds on several species of Atlantic fish. A population of puffins living on Matinucus Rock was found to fee

d on the types of fish shown in the graph below. The beaks of this group of puffin are shaped to grasp Species A particularly well. Predict what would happen to the puffins’ beaks if another predator enters the area that is better at preying on Species A. Explain your reasoning based on what you know regarding genetic adaptations.
Pie chart is shown with 79% species A, 14% species B, and 7% species C

If there's another predator that would enter the territory of the puffins and it preys on the puffins main food source, than the puffins will be under a big evolutionary pressure. Since the food sources are limited and there's more competition which is also better at hunting the main food source, the puffins will have to undergo some changes in order to survive.

The puffin will have to evolve in a manner when it can hunt several types of fish, thus its beak will have to return to its previous shape and abandon the more specialized shape. By doing so, the puffins will be able to hunt multiple types of fish efficiently which means bigger food source, so in order to survive the better equipped competition the puffins will have to become more opportunistic eaters and undergo a change in which their beak will de-evolve.

ioda

Answer:

The correct option is <em>lower.</em>

Explanation:

Schizophrenia can be described as an inherited disease and it is a type of mental illness. As Armend has an identical twin brother with diagnosis of schizophrenia hence, he will have more chances than Robert whose fraternal twin sister has schizophrenia.

As fraternal twins develop from two different eggs hence, the chances in them having the same disease will be lower. Identical twins develop from the same egg, hence they will have more chances of having the same inherited disease.

_____ is secreted by the _____ and acts to emulsify _____ in the lumen of the _____. _____ is secreted by the _____ and acts to
VARVARA [1.3K]

The liver plays an important role in the food digestion. The liver secretes bile juice which helps in the digestion of the fats. In the absence of digestion, this bile is stored in the gall bladder. The bile juice is the yellowish fluid, which aids in the digestion of fats (occurring in the small intestine) by emulsifying the fats molecules. the emulsification of these fat molecules is critical for their digestion, and absorption. Hence,  the liver secretes bile juice and acts to emulsify the fat in the lumen of the small intestine.

A gel electrophoresis migration pattern displaying polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products shows four strong bands. The lengths
dangina [55]

Answer:

D) The encoded protein contains four repeats of a specific sequence.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is a technique used to replicate or amplify the amount of DNA sample.

The technique employs running the DNA samples on the gel through which the DNA samples run based on their sizes.

The large-sized DNA fragment runs to a less distance whereas the small-sized DNA run to a large distance.

In the given question, four sizes of DNA bands are formed in the ratio of  1:2:3:4 which shows that the proteins encoded by this DNA have four repeats of a specific sequence of the template strand. This was confirmed when the largest band sample was again used as a sample of PCR and the PCR resulted in the four bands in similar  1:2:3:4.  

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
