Summary Introduction

To determine: The family which produces more descendants by the year 2000 among the two families.

Introduction: There are two families given in this case, parents of one family were born in the year 1900 and have twins at the age of 20 and the similar behavior was followed by their children and grandchildren. Similarly, parents of another family were also born in 1900 and undergo delayed reproduction until the age of 33 and finally have triplets. Children and grandchildren of the second family also followed the same behavior as their parents.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The conclusion about the two families.

ACTIVITY 9.2: Essay. Directions: Read the situation and identify the points of Darwin’s natural selection. There are 2 types of worms: worms that eat at night (nocturnal) and worms that eat during the day (diurnal). The birds eat during the day and seem to be eating ONLY the diurnal worms. The nocturnal worms are in their burrows during this time. Each spring when the worms reproduce, they have about 500 babies but only 100 of tthese 500 ever become old enough to reproduce.A.

Match the statement with the correct reproduction method. * Asexual Reproduction Sexual Reproduction I can be very slow. I create genetically unique offspring. I increase genetic diversity so organisms that use my method are able to adapt to changing environments. I can be very quick. I do not increase genetic diversity so organisms that use my method have difficulty adapting to a changing environment. I create identical offspring. I do not produce gametes. O O O OO
A female cheetah recently gave birth while in captivity; however, the paternity of the infant is unclear. Scientists tested the DNA from two male cheetahs, along with the female and offspring. The resulting electrophoresis gel is shown. Based on the gel electrophoresis results, what can be concluded about the paternity of the offspring?
