Question
Chapter 47.3, Problem 3EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The predictions related to the body weight of db and ob mice when they are parabiosed with one another.
Introduction: In 1970, a Canadian-American researcher, Douglas Coleman, performed a series of experiments for revealing a satiety factor in mammals. The researcher was interested in knowing the interesting facts about the regulation of body mass of animals. He used two mutant strains (db and ob) of mice and one wt (wild-type) mice during the experiment.

Review the process of natural selection. Use the steps to explain how PCB resistance became so common among tomcod in the Hudson. Be sure to include the terms mutation, fitness, selective pressure, and adaptation in your explanation. 2. In this blog post, the author describes the tomcod as "a quick learner" because of the population's adaptation to PCBs. Is "learning" an accurate way to describe the change in the Hudson River tomcod population? Why or why not? 3. The data shown on the map above support the hypothesis that natural selection for PCB resistance has occurred among tomcod in the Hudson. What sort of evidence regarding gene frequencies in different populations would argue against this hypothesis (i.e., imagine what the scientists would have observed in this study if natural selection on the AHR gene had not occurred among Hudson River tomcod)? 4.
