After the drought of 1977, researchers hypothesized that on the Galàpagos island Daphne Major, medium ground finches with large, deep beaks survived better than those with smaller beaks because they could more easily crack and eat the tough Tribulus. After the drought of 1977, researchers hypothesized that on the Galápagos island Daphne Major, medium ground finches with large, deep beaks survived better than those with smaller beaks because they could more easily crack and eat the tough Tribulus cistoides fruits. A tourist company sets up reliable feeding stations with a variety of bird seeds (different types and sizes) so that tourists can get a better look at the finches. Which of these events is now most likely to occur to finch beaks on this island?
A) evolution of yet larger, deeper beaks over time, until all birds have relatively large, deep beaks B) evolution of smaller, pointier beaks over time, until all birds have relatively small, pointy beaks C) increased variation in beak size and shape over time D) no change in beak size and shape over time
You are working in a Drosophila lab, and find a larva with two anterior ends. Both a normal larva and the mutant larva are shown below. What is the most likely explanation for the mutant larva phenotype?
A. There is a mutation in the bicoid gene causing no functional Bicoid protein to be made.
B. The nurse cells that produce the Bicoid protein are defective, so there is no protein at either end of the embryo.
C. There is a mutation in a homeotic gene.
D. There is a high concentration of the Bicoid protein at both ends of the mutant embryo.
E. A protein encoded by a segment polarity gene is not degraded correctly and accumulates in both ends of the embryo.
The centromere of human chromosome 15 creates a long arm and a barely discernable short arm. Therefore, this chromosome is
