If new genetic variation in the experimental populations arose solely by spontaneous mutations, then the most effective process for subsequently increasing the prevalence of the beneficial mutations in the population over the course of generations is
Answer:
binary fission
Explanation:
Binary fission is the main type of reproduction of prokaryotic organisms. In binary fission, the prokaryotic cell first duplicates its DNA and then divides into two cells, each one receiving one complete DNA molecule. Since binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction, this process increases the prevalence of beneficial mutations in a bacterial population. Moreover, transduction refers to the process by which a virus transfers genetic information from one bacterium to another bacterium. Conjugation is also a sexual mode of transfer of DNA from a donor (F+) to a recipient (F−) bacterial cell by direct cell-to-cell contact. Finally, transformation refers to the transfer of genetic material by which bacteria take up exogenous DNA from the environment and integrate it in their genomes.

Answer: The answer is A Journal Reviewed By Peers
Explanation:
The Channel Islands are a series of small islands off the California coast. Each island has a genetically distinct population of foxes. Compare the population of foxes on one of these islands to the population of foxes in the forests of mainland California. Which is more likely to be impacted by genetic drift? Which is more likely to be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Answer:
The fox population on the Islands experiences genetic drift whereas foxes in the forests has Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Explanation:
The fox population on the Islands experiences genetic drift because there is no chance of introduction of different type of foxes in these Islands which experiences less variation in the population of already existing foxes. Genetic drift is the change that occur in the frequency of an existing gene allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms. Genetic drift may cause gene variants to disappear completely with the passage of time which leads to reduce genetic variation. The foxes that is located in the mainland forest experiences Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

When calcium carbonate is heated, it
decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon
dioxide. If 100 g of calcium carbonate are
decomposed, 56 g of calcium oxide is produced.
What would be the mass of the carbon dioxide
given off by the decomposition?
A. 448
B. 110 g
C. 156 g
Answer:
A. 44 g
Explanation:
First, you need to write a balanced equation:
CaCO₃ -> CaO + CO₂
Then, you need to find the molar mass of CaCO₃:
Ca = 40.078 amu
C = 12.0107 amu
3O = 47.9982 amu
_________________
100.0869 amu
Then, you calculate the moles of CaCO₃:
100 g ÷ 100.0869 amu = 0.9991 moles
In the balanced equation, we can see that the molar ratio of CaCO₃ and CO₂ is 1 : 1, so moles of CaCO₃ = moles of CO₂.
Now you need to find the molar mass of CO₂:
C = 12.0107 amu
2O = 31.9988 amu
________________
44.0095 amu
Finally, you can calculate the mass of CO₂ produced:
0.9991 moles * 44.0095 amu = 43.9698 g = 44 g

One moth population carries three alleles at a genetic locus: X1, X2and X3. X1is dominant to X2and X3; X1produces red antennae. X2is co-dominant to X3; X2X2produces yellow antennae, X3X3produces white antennae, and X2X3produces light yellow antennae. The phenotypes in a population are as follows: 0.04 white; 0.16 light yellow; 0.16 yellow; 0.64 red.Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the X3allele in this population
Answer:
The correct answer is - 0.20
Explanation:
According to Hardy Weinberg equation under specific conditions the frequencies of the allele in the gene in a given population remain constant. Thus according to this frequencies of allele and genotype will remain the same through the generation unless there will be no evolutionary influence.
It helps us to predict the genotype frequencies in a large population. If there are two alleles having allelic frequencies p and q and we know equation of probability and frequencies add to 1
p2+2pq+q2=1
The X3X3 genome produces white antennae. Now Phenotypic frequency of the white antennae is 0.16 or 0.04 in the whole population. Hence the frequency of X3 should be a square root of 0.04 i.e, 0.20.

Explain two ways in which mitosis is biological significant
Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged.

Individuals with a mutation in the gene for apolipoprotein B-100 produce very low levels of this protein, which is a component of LDL. How would accumulation of fat in the liver be affected and would this result in hypercholesterolemia or hypercholesterolemia
Answer:
Fats would accumulate in the liver and the individual would show hypocholesterolemia
Explanation:
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder caused by a reduction and/or defect in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor. Moreover, apolipoprotein B is the unique protein component of LDL, which plays a critical role in lipid metabolism by binding the LDL receptor. Familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 refers to an inherited disorder associated with mutations of the apolipoprotein B-100 that leads to moderate or severe cases of hypercholesterolemia. Mutations in apolipoprotein B-100 are associated with a reduction in the binding capacity of LDL to the LDL receptor, thereby leading to hypercholesterolemia.
During Meselson and Stahl’s experiment, E. coli was grown on heavy nitrogen for what purpose?
A. So each generation of DNA would have a different weight to distinguish them by.
B. To determine how the bacteria functioned with a heavier element.
C. To see how the heavy nitrogen affected their DNA.
D. So each generation of protein would have a different weight to distinguish them by.
Answer:
D. So each generation of DNA would have a different weight to distinguish them by.
I took the test
Meselson and Stahl performed an experiment to find out the semiconservative property of DNA and to differentiate the DNA weight of alternative generation both scientists used heavy nitrogen. Thus option A is correct.
What is the semiconservative property of DNA?When a double-stranded DNA undergoes replication, it results in the formation of 2 double-stranded DNAs and each newly formed DNA has one parental DNA strand and one new DNA strand and this is the semiconservative property of DNA.
Heavy nitrogen of media will appear in the newly synthesized DNA strand so each generation of DNA would have a different weight . So option A is correct.

When glucose is unavailable, the liver begins to break down fatty acids to supply the rest of the body with metabolic fuel. Explain why fatty acid-derived acetyl-CoA is not catabolized by the citric acid cycle but is instead diverted to ketogenesis when no glucose is available.
Answer:
Fatty acid degradation produces acetyl-CoA
When carbohydrate concentrations drop, any available oxaloacetate is diverted to gluconeogenesis to produce the glucose necessary for red blood cell and brain function. If acetyl-CoA cannot enter the citric acid cycle (and acetyl-CoA cannot be converted to pyruvate in mammals), it is converted to ketone bodies.
