- What does the author mean with the statement, "Experts hypothesize that the surge in myopia prevalence is caused by the increased use of computers and smartphones, however definitive research has not been published."? A. More research is needed to determine the causes of myopia. B. Computers and smartphones are not a cause of the increase in myopia diagnosis. C. Myopia diagnoses will most likely increase as computer and smartphone use continue. D. Research studies on the impact of computers and smartphones on eyesight need to be published.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about the "greenbeard" effect is correct? Richard Dawkins first hypothesized the existence of the "greenbeard" allele to explain why we observe some unusual phenotypes, such as green beard. According to the hypothesis, the reason why the greenbeard phenotype is selected for is because the greenbeard individuals would preferentially receive altruistic benefit from non-greenbeard individuals. The reason why the "greenbeard" hypothesis is possible is because when direct fitness and indirect fitness are in conflict, it is always the factors that increase the direct fitness that will triumph over the factors increasing the indirect fitness. The "greenbeard" effect shows that it is possible to evolve altruistic behavior toward individuals who are not genetic kin.arrow_forwardA culture of the bacterium Salmonella enteritidis initially contains 50 cells.

- How do the tube worms at the hydrothermal vents survive? a The tube worms burrow into the sediment on the sea floor and find smaller worms and clams to eat. b The tube worms swim from vent to vent, looking for mats of bacteria that they can scrape off the rock with their red, bushy plumes. c The tube worms use their red bushy plumes to grab and devour small organisms like tiny shrimp. d They have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria that live inside them and provide their nutrition.arrow_forwardExample: Suppose you wish to lose 4.54kg either through physical activity or by dieting. 1-How long would you have to work at an activity of 15Kcal/min to lose 4.54kg of fat?arrow_forwardThe Half-life of Pennies Lab Can you use pennies to demonstrate "decay? Imagine existing more than 5,000 years and still having more than 5,000 to go! That is exactly what the unstable element carbon-14 does. Carbon-14 is a special unstable element used in the absolute dating of material that was once alive, such as fossil bones. Every 5,730 years, half of the carbon-14 in a fossil specimen decays or breaks down into a more stable element. In the following lab you will see how pennies can show the same kind of "decay." Materials • 100 pennies • large container with a cover Procedure a. Place 100 pennies in a large, covered container. Shake the container several times and remove the cover. Carefully empty the container on a flat surface, making sure the pennies don't roll away. b. Remove all the coins that have the "head" side of the coin turned upward. Record the number of pennies removed and the number of pennies remaining in the data table below. Shake number Number of coins removed…arrow_forward
- Which one of the following statement is correct for negative feedback? Select one: a. In some cases, negative feedback systems carry the mechanism for their own destruction without being fatal to the organism, but to a part of the organism. b. Negative feedback can move the control parameter to a value outside that normally maintained by positive feedback. c. In a negative feedback a molecular reaction can have such a large drop in free energy that the reaction is essentially irreversible. d. A negative feedback system is stable over time, maintaining a steady state.arrow_forwardUse the hybrid selection model, OY = ky(1 - y)(a - by), to find the percent of the population that has the given characteristic. dt A research team is studying a population of snails to determine how quickly characteristic B will pass from one generation to the next.
