The California newt, Toricha toroso, lives in the coastal areas around Los Angeles. Which of the following is a valid null hypot

hesis relating fitness to survival of a bottleneck event in a coastal area where a small, isolated population of California newts resides?
(A) Only those salamanders with the lowest evolutionary fitness will be eliminated by the bottleneck effect, lowering the allelic frequencies of their traits.
(B) Only those salamanders with the highest evolutionary fitness will survive the bottleneck event, raising the allelic frequencies of their traits.
(C) Surviving the bottleneck event will be random, so any change in the allelic frequencies of the salamander population is not attributed to fitness
(D) Surviving the bottleneck event will be random, so there will be no changes to the allelic frequencies due to the bottleneck event.

Answer:

(B) Only those salamanders with the highest evolutionary fitness will survive the bottleneck event, raising the allelic frequencies of their traits.

Explanation:

Toricha toroso is a type of salamander which lives in the coastal areas of California after the bottleneck event. Bottleneck event is a kind of event in which population of organisms are reduced due to harsh climatic condition. In these harsh climatic condition of the environment, Toricha toroso survive because of the fitness of this salamander. Fitness plays a vital role in the survival of organisms.

Answer:

The letter is C

Explanation:

The genetic drift caused by a population bottleneck can change the proportional random distribution of alleles and even lead to loss of alleles. The chances of inbreeding and genetic homogeneity can increase, possibly leading to inbreeding depression. Smaller population size can also cause deleterious mutations to accumulate.

Why would your muscle cells switch to anaerobic respiration if it doesn't produce as much ATP?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Lack of oxygen

Explanation:

There are two mechanisms for energy production (glucose breakdown), aerobic and anaerobic. When adequate amounts of oxygen are present, aerobic mechanism is used. However, when there is insufficient oxygen, such as during exercise, the anaerobic mechanism is used.

Which of the following correctly describes contrasting features of a plant cell and an animal cell?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Plant cells have a large central vacuole that takes up most of the cell’s space, and animal cells have many smaller vacuoles.

Explanation:

Plant cells are characterized by the presence of large vacuoles present in the center of the cell. The vacuole is large enough to occupy as much as 90% volume of the plant cell.  

On the other hand, animal cells have a centrally located nucleus. They do not have large vacuole. Rather, animal cells have many smaller vacuoles that are present near the periphery of the cell.

What is the pattern of daylight hours throughout the year?
ella [17]
The pattern shows that the number of hours of daylight per day is higher in the summer and lower in the winter. This pattern is caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis. At some points in Earth’s orbit around the Sun, the tilt causes one hemisphere to lean towards the Sun while the other one tilted away.
