Concept explainers
To determine: The family which produces more descendants by the year 2000 among the two families.
Introduction: There are two families given in this case, parents of one family were born in the year 1900 and have twins at the age of 20 and the similar behavior was followed by their children and grandchildren. Similarly, parents of another family were also born in 1900 and undergo delayed reproduction until the age of 33 and finally have triplets. Children and grandchildren of the second family also followed the same behavior as their parents.
To determine: The conclusion about the two families.

Sexual reproduction favors_______________ genetic variation highly successful species stable populations genetic stabilityarrow_forwardhelp. Select all that are true 1- traditional' (as nicknamed from the last 70-8- years) and organic farming are the same. 2- GOMs may involve including a gene from a completely unrelated organism, such as agene from a jelly fish into amonkey. 3- Traditional'( as nicknamed from the last 70-80 years) and GOM farming generally include the use of pesticides and herbicides 4-Organic food may not include genetics modifications, pesticides, or herbicides.arrow_forward1. Is there a correlation between survival, reproduction and environment color? Explain. 2. Are there any other factors besides color important in determining survival in the simulation? 3. Why did we set the rate of reproduction at 2/survivor? What would happen if one color always had more offspring than other colors? 4. Suppose that a mutation occurs and a white, “albino” bead is born. How well would it survive in your environment? Please answer all questions pleasearrow_forward

- WRITE DOWN SOME NOTES OR TAKE AWAYS ABOUT THIS MODEL. Model 3 – Random Genetic Drift This model is an adaptation of the classic experiment conducted by Peter Buri (1956), which documented genetic drift in laboratory populations of Drosophila. In the model, ten vials (populations) of flies are held at a constant population size and the proportions of a mutant allele are tracked over generations. The population size and the initial allele proportion can be manipulated.arrow_forwardWhat measures are in place within the modern scientific community to prevent the exploitation of vulnerable individuals and populations? How should researchers balance their desire to persue important scientific questions in a cooperative manner with living descendants and/or indigenous groups? Are these measures always "enough"?

(Identify ALL that are TRUE) Select 3 correct answer(s) Question options: Adaptations include PHENOTYPE changes within a species or population, in response to changing environment Adaptations include changes in GENE EXPRESSION within individuals, making individuals better suited to changes in environmental conditions Adaptations include GENOTYPE changes within a species or population, making individuals better suited to a particular environment Adaptations include GENOTYPE changes within a species or population, in response to changing environment Adaptations include PHENOTYPE changes within an individual, making that individual better suited to a particular environmentarrow_forward
