A population of 1,000 birds exists on a small Pacific island. Some of the birds are yellow, a trait determined by a recessive al

lele. The others are green, a trait determined by a dominant allele. A hurrican on the island kills most of the birds from this population. Only ten remain, and those birds all have yellow feathers. Which of the following statements is true regarding the hypothetical situation?A. Assuming that no new birds coome to the island and no mutations occur, future generations of this population will contain both green and yellow birds.B. The hurricane has caused a population bottleneck.C. This situation illustrtes the principle of adaptive radiation.D. This situation illustrates the founder effect Or, The ten remaining birds will mate only with each other, and will contribute to gene flow in the population.

Answer:

B. The hurricane has caused a population bottleneck

Explanation:

When there is a sudden reduction in the size of a population due to some unfavorable environmental conditions, the population is said to have experienced bottleneck. Bottleneck mostly results in genetic drift and changes the allele frequencies in the population. It is caused by some natural disasters or adverse conditions such as a hurricane.

In the given example, the hurricane removed all the birds with green feathers from the population and also has reduced the population size from 1000 to 10. Therefore, it represents the population bottleneck.

iragen [17]

Explanation:

This statement is correct because the concept of integrating body and mind in physical activity was responsible for the expansion of physical activity, in addition to activities that promote only the well-being of the body aesthetically, but as a set of activities responsible for improvement of health, intelligence, emotional, creativity, as well as an instrument of social integration. The practice of physical activity releases endorphins in the brain, which is a natural substance produced by the brain that is associated with well-being, mood and joy, and this effect occurs during and after physical activity.

brainscape: Restriction enzymes: A) act at the membrane to restrict the passage of certain molecules into the cell. B) are highl
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C) are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases

B) degrade foreign DNA that enters a bacterium.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are the proteins that cut the DNA at a specific sequence.

<u>Restriction enzymes are also known as restriction endonuclease produced by bacteria that recognizes a specific sequence on DNA and split it by catalyzing the hydrolysis or addition of water molecule. </u>So, Restriction enzymes are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases.

The biological role of restriction enzymes is to restrict the entry of foreign DNA into the bacterium. <u>Restriction enzymes have the ability to restrict the number of bacteriophage strains that affect bacteria.</u>

Hence, the correct options are "C and B"

Which of the following is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most ecosystems?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy   is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
