Which term best describes the change from more light-colored moths to more dark-colored moth

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The answer is industrial melanism.

During the Industrial revolution, due to pollution, trees become darker in the urban area. Light-colored moths were, thus, easy prey. The dark-colored moths were able to camouflage on dark trees and avoid predators. The phenomenon is known as industrial melanism. So, in polluted urban areas, the number of dark-colored peppered moths increased. In the clean environment, were much effective in hiding from predators and they outnumbered the dark-colored moths.

In the name Acer rubrum, the word rubrum designates the species.(t or f)

Answers

The statement is - True.

In the name Acer rubrum, the word rubrum is defining the species, while the acer is defining the genus.

Acer rubrum is actually the scientific name for the red maple tree, found mostly in the eastern half of the United States, being a native species to the North American continent.

The red maple is a tree in the family of Sapindaceae, and in the order of Sapindales.

It is considered as the most abundant native tree in the United States, and it is also one of the most used trees in the parks and homes in big portion of the United States.

Its true, according to the Binomial Classification Naming System, The second name in given is considered the species.
More information: The first name is the genus an organism belongs to.

A viral genome is studied. It is composed of 33% Adenine, 28% Thymine, 22% Cytosine and 17% Guanine. Predict whether this genome is single or double stranded and whether it is DNA or RNA based.A) The genome is DNA based and single stranded.

B) The genome is DNA based and double stranded.

C) The genome is RNA based and single stranded.

D) The genome is RNA based and double stranded.

Answers

Answer:

A) The genome is DNA based and single stranded.

Explanation:

The reason why it is DNA based is because DNA contains thymine base (T). It is not RNA based because RNA contains uracil base (U) instead of thymine and in the given question there is not uracil mentioned.

It is single stranded because according to Chargaff's rule a double stranded nucleic acid must have the ratio of purine bases to pyrimidine ratio as 1:1.

Adenine (A) & Guanine (G) are purine bases while Thymine (T) & Cytosine (C) are pyrimidine bases so according to Chargaff's rule AG/CT = ~ 1. It means [A+G] = [C+T]

Also, A makes interaction with T while C makes interaction G. It means,

[A] = [T]

[C] = [G]

By this we can easily infer that a double stranded DNA will have as much A as much it has T & same goes with C & G.

But, in the given question, A = 33% while Thymine = 28% which are not equal so this means that this molecule is single stranded.

B

Explanation: RNA contains the nucleotide “Uracil” therefore this could not be RNA and the percentages closely match up therefore we can assume that the DNA is double stranded I.e. Double helix

EXPLAIN VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION IN PLANTS AND ALSO MENTION THEIR ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES.

Answers

Answer:

Advantages and Disadvantages of Vegetative Propagation

ADVANTAGES

Faster and more certain method of propagation.

New individuals produced have exactly identical qualities as their parents. This preserves the characteristics of food and flower crops.

Can be used to reproduce plants that do not have viable seeds.

The flowers produced are of a superior quality.

Certain desirable characteristics present in the fruit can be maintained.

DISADVANTAGES

Does not produce new varieties

Leads to over crowding

Very little dispersal
