Answer:
Since the gene mutates at a rate of 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years, to find out the time it would take for 1 base pair to mutate can be calculated by dividing 17.1 million years by 0.76
17,100,000 ÷ 0.76 = 22.5 million years
The following equation can be used to describe this:
μ = [(r2/N2) − (r1/N1)] × ln (N2/N1) = (f1 − f2) × ln (N2/N1)
r1 = the observed number of mutants at time point 1
r2 = the observed number of mutants at the next time point
N1 and N2 are the numbers of cells at time points 1 and 2

Question:
A population of organisms is represented by three black marbles and three gray marbles. The gray organisms have a beneficial genetic mutation. Draw a model that shows natural selection over three generations of these organisms
Answer:
lThe population will suffer Directional selection. In the attached files you will find the drawing of the model.
Explanation:
Natural selection is the result of the phenotype-environment interaction which determines gene destiny in space and time, selecting beneficial alleles and increasing their frequency in the population. Among other types of natural selection, we can find the directional selection.
Directional selection increases in the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait, in this case, the color of the organisms. This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which interactions between living organisms and the environment modify in the same direction.
Directional selection leads to the fixation of the beneficial allele and the consequent loss of the other one. In this case, for example, the gray suffered a beneficial mutation, and after three generations the allele codifying for this mutation shows an increase in its frequency, approaching fixation.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Stem cells are different type of cells in human body that can develop into different other body cells like muscles cells or brain cells and they gave the capability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division.
Stem cells are not lost in childhood but can be use to treat diseases or infection, it can be use to grow new cells and replace damaged body cells.
