Ancient societies used knowledge that traits are heritable in domesticating animals and developing agricultural crops. What might account for the failure to recognize that the same processes operate in humans?
Background: In class we did a project about m and m’s and there ability to evolve and natural selection. (Yes I know they can’t actually evolve it was just used as a example in class) however I can’t figure out this question. Occasionally a mutant may occur and produce a candy that is misshapen or Pointier or flatter than the rest. Often this proves to be a weakness, but a rare mutation may confer extra M&M durability. Other mutations in M&Ms could occur ( like ones that result in a new color). A mutant un you population represents a new _________. What goes in the blank
From a biological viewpoint, speculate as to why many traits seemto fit a normal distribution. Students with a strong background inmath and statistics may want to explain how a normal distributionis generated, and what it means. Can you think of biological examplesthat do not fit a normal distribution?
It has been found that many insect pest populations have become more resistant to pesticides over time. How might this have occurred? O The individual insects who were naturally resistant to the pesticide were able to reproduce and pass on their genes. This created future generations of insects that were more naturally resistant to the pesticides. O Individual insects decided they did not like the pesticides and went to the doctors O The chemical pesticides given to insects have mutated due to climate shifts and no longer work. O The pesticide killed off the insects and new ones moved into the region, who have not been exposed to the pesticide yet.
Mendelian inheritance principles are the foundation of modern genetics highlighting the role of particular factors that are responsible for the expression of traits in living organisms. The story remained continue in the last century and further explanations were provided by various scientists in different era. Traits are governed and triggered from the brain of cell. How brain of cell execute the whole cell machinery to express different traits in plants.
Many plants (and some animals) have defensive chemicals to protect themselves from predation. How did these compounds evolve? Choose All That Apply there was a mutation in an existing gene that resulted in a new enzyme function Oa different (or slightly altered) compound was made that was slightly toxic to other organisms O plants/animals with the toxic compound were eaten less O there was a mutation in a gene as a result of the plant/animal being eaten O presence of the toxic compound reduced the fitness of the plant/animal U the gene that codes for the enzyme that produces the toxic compound became more prevalent
Because all known living organisms share a common system for storing and utilizing genetic information, it would suggest: that all life forms on Earth share a common ancestor that the study of one organism’s genes may reveal principles that apply to other organisms thatgenesfromoneorganismcouldpossiblyfunctioninanotherorganism that all of the above ideas (1-4) are likely
A scientist states that a group of primates has undergone genetic drift. The study of which subject would have BEST supported this statement? O selection pressures in the primates' environment O mutagens in the primates' environment O a parent population from which the primates have become separated i O a population of a distantly related primate species in the same region
The ability of genomes to respond to the outside environmentby changing the developmental trajectories of organisms opens up entire worlds of research. Is evolution selecting “teams” of organisms?

One of the concerns scientists have about genetically selected crops is that some traits for pest resistance may affect the texture of lettuce. What question could be asked to begin this investigation by looking at a measurable dependent variable? * What is the effect of crop selection for pest resistance on the distribution of leaf size in a population of plants?

The random change of DNA from parent to offspring, called mutations, can help produce variations in offspring. Some mutations can be helpful, while others can be harmful. In this experiment,…
