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).

Use the drop-down menus to order the steps involved in protein production.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

The DNA double helix unzips.

A strand of RNA is made from a strand of DNA.

The strand of RNA leaves the nucleus.

The strand of RNA moves to the ribosome.

A protein is produced.

Explanation:

During protein production, the messages in DNA are first encoded into mRNA in a process known as transcription. Transcription happens in the nucleus and involves an initial step of unwinding or unzipping of the double helix DNA.

Thereafter, the mRNA produced during transcription is transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it gets attached to the ribosome.

In conjunction with the rRNA and the tRNA, the codons in the mRNA becomes translated into their respective amino acids. The amino acids are then linked by a polypeptide bond leading to the production of protein.

Hence, the correct sequence of event is:

<em>The DNA double helix unzips.</em>

<em>A strand of RNA is made from a strand of DNA.</em>

<em>The strand of RNA leaves the nucleus.</em>

<em>The strand of RNA moves to the ribosome.</em>

<em>A protein is produced.</em>

Consider an animal cell in which motor proteins in the kinetochores normally pull the chromosomes along the kinetochore microtub
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is "yes, yes, no" or "B, B, A".

Explanation:

In the hypothetical situation stated in the question, an inhibitor blocks the function of the motor proteins in the kinetochore, but allows the kinetochore to remain attached to the spindle. The animal cells treated with this inhibitor would be able to elongate during mitosis, their sister chromatids would separate from each other but the chromosomes would not move to the poles of the cell. The inhibitor only action is to block the function of the motor proteins, and since the motor protein function is to move the chromosomes to the poles of the cells, this will be the only activity that will be affected during cell's mitosis.
