Which of the following 3 statements are true? Compare two different variants of the replicating RNA molecule A. Ac is a cooperative variant that only makes copies of B. B only makes copies of Ac. Ad is a defecting variant that only makes copies of itself. B makes copies of Ad but cannot make copies of itself. All hypercycles are trapped within cellular compartments. Examples of hypercycles containing Ad and Ac are shown below. Answer the following three questions. 1) Which variant of A will increase in frequency? 2) Given that the hypercycles are in compartments, is selection primarily happening among replicators or among hypercycles? 3) Can cooperation evolve? Select 3 correct answer(s) Q1) Ac will increase in frequency. Q1) Ad will increase in frequency. Q2) Selection is primarily happening among replicators. Q2) Selection is primarily happening among hypercycles. Q3) Cooperation can evolve. Q3) Cooperation cannot evolve.

Which of the following 3 statements are true?
Compare two different variants of the replicating RNA molecule A. Ac is a
cooperative variant that only makes copies of B. B only makes copies of Ac. Ad is a
defecting variant that only makes copies of itself. B makes copies of Ad but cannot
make copies of itself. All hypercycles are trapped within cellular compartments.
Examples of hypercycles containing Ad and Ac are shown below.
Answer the following three questions.
1) Which variant of A will increase in frequency?
2) Given that the hypercycles are in compartments, is selection primarily happening
among replicators or among hypercycles?
3) Can cooperation evolve?
Select 3 correct answer(s)
Q1) Ac will increase in frequency.
Q1) Ad will increase in frequency.
Q2) Selection is primarily happening among replicators.
Q2) Selection is primarily happening among hypercycles.
Q3) Cooperation can evolve.
Q3) Cooperation cannot evolve.
