Base your answers the questions below on the information provided and your knowledge of biology. Ocean-dwelling (marine) iguanas and land iguanas inhabit the Galapagos Islands. Some scientists believe that both types of iguanas diverged from a common ancestor. Marine iguanas eat algae. Land iguanas feed on cacti. Algae are more abundant in the ocean than cacti are on the islands. Both species lay their eggs in the sand. Rats, cats, and goats have been introduced to the islands by humans. Rats feed on iguana eggs, cats eat baby iguanas, and goats eat cacti. • Which population of iguanas, marine or land, would you expect to be larger? Support your answer. • Identify one technique that can be used to support the conclusion that these two species of iguana developed from a common ancestor.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- The marine population is likely larger because the food supply is greater for the marine population than that of the land iguanas

- Evolution (natural selection), adaptive radiation

Explanation:

Evolutionary adaptation can be defined as the process of adjustment of organisms to particular environmental conditions in order to increase their chances of survival. Moreover, natural selection is the main mechanism by which organisms adapt to their environments. Adaptive radiation can be defined as the evolution of a specific taxonomic group (for example, a species o genus) into specialized organisms which are adapted to survive under particular environmental conditions. Adaptive radiation can lead to speciation by which populations evolve (change) to become distinct species.

true or false the water table is the lower surface of a aquifer

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Groundwater is the water present beneath Earth's surface in soil pore spaces and in the fractures of rock formations. A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called an aquifer when it can yield a usable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water is called the water table. Groundwater is recharged from the surface; it may discharge from the surface naturally at springs and seeps, and can form oases or wetlands. Groundwater is also often withdrawn for agricultural, municipal, and industrial use by constructing and operating extraction wells. The study of the distribution and movement of groundwater is hydrogeology, also called groundwater hydrology.

Archaea (or extremophiles) like to live in extreme environments.
A. True

B. False

Answers

any different extremes: heat, cold, acid, base, salinity, pressure, and radiation. These different environmental conditions over time have allowed Archaea to evolve with their extreme environments so that they are adapted to them and, in fact, have a hard time acclimating to less extreme conditions

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

We could just split the two parts of "extremophile'' and we get the gist.

"extremo-" (from Latin extremus) means to the highest degree of something.

"-phile" (from Greek philia), means love.

As a result, the term means "loving being in the highest degree (or something like that)."

To explain things, archaea are adapted to these extreme environments (hence the name extremophiles), except for hyperthermophily. Fungi, for example, live in mining areas, which are acidic and metal enriched.

Using the codon chart, what is the sequence of amino acids that is produced when this RNA is translated?

Answers

Answer:

In transcription, the DNA sequence of a gene is "rewritten" in RNA. In eukaryotes, the RNA must go through additional processing steps to become a messenger RNA or mRNA. In translation, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA is "translated" into a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (protein chain).

Translation starts at a methionine (Met) codon, which specifies the amino acid methionine (Met). Translation stops at a Stop codon, which does not specify an amino acid.

Translation of an mRNA molecule by the ribosome occurs in three stages: a. initiation

b. elongation

c. termination.

During initiation, the small ribosomal subunit binds to the start of the mRNA sequence.

Translation happens in four stages: activation (make-ready), initiation (start), elongation (make longer), and termination (stop). These terms describe the growth of the amino acid chain (polypeptide).

Another term for the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
A. The Calvin Cycle

B. Cellular respiration

C. The nitrogen cycle

Answers

Answer:

A. The Calvin Cycle

Explanation:

The light-independent reactions cover half of photosynthesis, with the other half being the light-dependent reactions. Another word for this process is the Calvin cycle. It is named after the biologist, Melvin C. Calvin, who discovered it. The Calvin cycle is responsible for turning carbon dioxide into glucose. It also requires no light, hence its other name. Additionally, because it is occasionally called the Calvin cycle, sometimes, the light-dependent reaction is simply called the light cycle.

Answer:

A. The Calvin Cycle

Explanation:

The Calvin Cycle is the another term for the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. So, option (A) is the correct answer.

Explain how the cell cycle is regulated.

Answers

Answer:

Two groups of proteins, called cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), are responsible for the progress of the cell through the various checkpoints. ... Cyclins regulate the cell cycle only when they are tightly bound to Cdks.The cell cycle is controlled by a number of protein-controlled feedback processes. Two types of proteins involved in the control of the cell cycle are kinases and cyclins. Cyclins activate kinases by binding to them, specifically they activate cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK).

A study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between artificial sweeteners and bladder cancer. 3,000 cases and 3,000 controls were enrolled in the study. Among the cases, 1293 had used artificial sweeteners in the past, while 1707 had never used artificial sweeteners. Of the controls, 855 had used sweeteners and 2145 had not.

a. What is the exposure and what is the disease?

Calculate the correct measure and show your work.
How do we interpret this effect estimate?

Answers

Answer:

A. exposure - use of artificial sweeteners

disease - bladder cancer

In this research artificial sweeteners are used as the exposure that leads to bladder cancer disease.

B.                                 Bladder cancer          No bladder cancer

Artificial sweeteners      1293(a)                       855(b)

No artificial sweeteners  1707(c)                      2145(d)

Total                                3000                        3000

Cases -

- Risk factor (Artificial sweeteners) present (1293)

-   Risk factor (Artificial sweeteners) absent (1707)

Controls

- Risk factor (Artificial sweeteners) present (855)

- Risk factor (Artificial sweeteners) absent (2145)

Odds ratio or strength of association between exposure and disease

OR= Cases with exposure/cases without exposure= a/c divided by b/d

So, the putting value ad/bc= 1293*2145/855*1707

= 1.9

OR would be 1.9

C. this interprets that there is a 90% increase in the chance of bladder cancer if exposed to artificial sweeteners or people with bladder cancer have a 1.90 times higher odds of using artificial sweeteners compared to controls
