Summary Introduction

To analyze: The reason why egg retrieval behavior is geese is a fixed action pattern.

Introduction: A fixed action pattern is a term used to describe the fixed pattern of birds or other associated organisms. Most of the action patterns are the same for birds such as ducks, swans, and others.

Explanation of Solution

Egg retrieval behavior in geese can represent the principal habits of the geese. These actions are fixed and remain the same for all the geese. For example, if an egg of the female geese moves out of the nest, then the very first thing the female geese do is to roll back the moving egg inside the nest again, by using all their efforts and energy. The female geese will keep doing this until the egg will not be rolled back to the nest. The egg outside the egg is a stimulus that triggers the egg retrieval.

Overview of Transformation Protocol   -Prepare competent bacteria for transformation: Treat starter E. coli bacteria with CaCl2and Competent Cell Solution (CCS). Store on ice until transformation procedure. Competent cells are cells that are likely to take up foreign DNA and be transformed. This step increases the likelihood that the E. coli cells will take up the introduced vector and be transformed. -Transformation procedure: Obtain two microcentrifuge tubes containing your competent cells. Label one tube +DNA and one -DNA. Add CaCl2 to both tubes. Add the transformation mix containing the plasmid DNA to the tube labeled +DNA. Do not add any plasmid DNA to the -DNA tube. Incubate both tubes on ice for 10 minutes. Then, place both tubes in a 42\deg C water bath for 45 seconds. Replace the tubes in an ice bucket for 2 minutes. Add recovery broth to both tubes. Incubate both tubes in a 37 C water bath for 5 minutes.   Questions: 1)What is the selectable marker in this experiment? How…
