Chapter 27, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Growth curve represents the population growth with each period of time. Growth curve can be demonstrated by two types of growth curve: J shaped growth curves and sigmoid growth curve. The J shaped growth curves represent the unrestricted or exponential population growth while sigmoid growth curve represents the slow or restricted growth of population.

Answer to Problem 1MC

Correct answer:

Density-independent environmental resistance includes floods. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Option (b) is given as “floods”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify reason for the correct statement:

Density-independent factors are those factors that affect population size irrespective of population density. Density-independent factors include weather, earthquake, floods, and climatic condition.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “predation”.

Predation is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “differentiated cell”.

Parasitism is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “competition”.

Competition is density dependent environmental resistance. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

The factor floods are density independent environmental resistance.

Imagine that you are a clinical geneticist. Your colleague is an oncologist who wants your help explaining the basics of genetics to their patient, who will be undergoing genetic testing in the coming weeks for possible acute myeloid leukemia (AML) induced by the radiation she had several years ago for breast cancer. Write a 1,050- to 1,225-word memo to your colleague. Include the following in your memo: An explanation of the molecular structure of DNA and RNA, highlighting both similarities and differences  A description of the processes of transcription and translation An explanation of the differences between leading and lagging strands and how the DNA is replicated in each strand Reponses to the following common questions patients might ask about this type of genetic testing and genetic disorder: Does AML run in families? What genes are tested for?
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: What are some potential consequences that could result if the processes of replication, transcription, and translation don’t function correctly? Provide an example of how you might explain these consequences in terms that patients might understand.
