Objects deep beneath the surface of the ocean are subjected to extremely high pressures. Some bacteria in these environments have adapted to pressures as much as a thousand times atmospheric pressure. How might such bacteria be affected if they were rapidly moved to the surface of the ocean?
how can a corn kernel go from a hard seed to fluffy popcorn we eat?
Use the hybrid selection model, OY = ky(1 - y)(a - by), to find the percent of the population that has the given characteristic.
dt
A research team is studying a population of snails to determine how quickly characteristic B will pass from one generation to the next. At the start of the study, 20% of the snails have characteristic B. After five generations, 81% of the population has characteristic B. Find
the percent of the population that will have characteristic B after eight generations. (Assume a = 2 and b = 1. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Richard Dawkins first hypothesized the existence of the "greenbeard" allele to explain why we observe some unusual phenotypes, such as green beard. According to the hypothesis, the reason why the greenbeard phenotype is selected for is because the greenbeard individuals would preferentially receive altruistic benefit from non-greenbeard individuals. The reason why the "greenbeard" hypothesis is possible is because when direct fitness and indirect fitness are in conflict, it is always the factors that increase the direct fitness that will triumph over the factors increasing the indirect fitness. The "greenbeard" effect shows that it is possible to evolve altruistic behavior toward individuals who are not genetic kin.arrow_forwardWhat are the parts of the respiratory system?arrow_forward
- Why do individuals produce antibodies to antigens they do not have?arrow_forwardSmall birds like that in (Figure 1) can migrate over long distances without feeding, storing energy mostly as fat rather than carbohydrate. Fat is a good form of energy storage because it provides the most energy per unit mass: 1.00 grams of fat provides about 9.40 (food) Calories, compared to 4.20 (food) Calories per 1.00 grams of carbohydrate. Remember that Calories associated with food, which are always capitalized, are not exactly the same as calories used in physics or chemistry, even though they have the same name. More specifically, one food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories of mechanical work or 4184 joules. Therefore, in this problem use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4184 J. Figure 1 of 1 Part A Consider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7 m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate of 3.70 W (this rate represents the power consumption of the bird).
