On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united

. Currently, some predator-rich ponds have mosquitofish that can swim in short, fast bursts; other predator-poor ponds have mosquitofish that can swim continuously for a long time. When placed together in the same body of water, the two kinds of female mosquitofish exhibit exclusive breeding preferences. Which two of the following have operated to increase divergence between mosquitofish populations on Andros? improved gene flow bottleneck effect sexual selection founder effect natural selection

Answer:

sexual selection

natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism (changes the allele frequency) by favouring traits that are advantageous among others because they increase the survival and reproduction. In the example above, mosquitofish that live in the predator-rich ponds devoloped a trait that help them survive (swimming in short, fast bursts). This adaptation to environment is favourable by natural selection.

Sexual selection refers to the female mosquitofish and the fact that they choose their males (with better reproductive success).

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello!

The scientist created an experimental strain that produces a modified RNA polymerase with a single amino acid substitution. This mutation is supposed to change the elongation rate of the mRNA during transcription.

The dependent or response variable, is the one the researchers are interested in, meaning, are the characteristics that the researcher will pay attention to and measure during the experiment.

In this example, the researcher is interested in testing the max elongation rate during transcription, which is the dependent variable of this experiment.

In the second part of the experiment, both strains of yeast, wilds, and experimental, where exposed to 40ug/mL solution of amanitin and recorded the maximum elongation rate of the RNA. This is naturally to test the effects of amanitin over the elongation rate of the mRNA in both strains.

The control group is a set of experimental units that are exposed to the same conditions as the experimental groups, with the exception that they receive no treatment (or they receive a "no effective" treatment often called a placebo). The purpose of a control group is to know the natural response of the experimental units to a treatment-free environment, this way when comparing both groups, the researcher will be able to observe the differences or changes due to the applied treatments.

In the second experiment, there are missing two control groups, one made of the wild strain and the other made of the experimental strain, exposed to the same conditions as the treated strains.

I hope this helps!

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the keys words in the question provides an idea of what the completed question is.

There are two types of nucleic acid; ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

They are both made up of ribose/pentose sugar, nitrogenous base and phosphate group.

The ribose sugar of the DNA is one oxygen less than the ribose sugar of the RNA hence the reason for the name "deoxyribose".

There are five nitrogenous bases namely; adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil. They both contain adenine, guanine and cytosine; however, the DNA contains thymine while the RNA contains uracil. Of the five bases, adenine and guanine are the purines (have a double ring structure) while the rest are pyrimidines (have a single ring structure).

The phosphate group here is negatively charged
