Q. Select ONE animal species. Your goal is to explain the way in which an evolutionary change might occur for a particular characteristic (trait) of a population of that species as a result of natural selection.
The characteristic (trait) could be something like coloration pattern, length of the limbs, size of the teeth or beak, or any measurable trait that is inherited.
The organism you choose should be a real one, but evolutionary change in a trait that you describe can be real or fiction.
First, recognize the species. Clearly state the name of the SPECIES you are going to be talking about for this assignment. (Make sure you know what is meant by a species.)
Second, clearly state what population of the species you are going to talk about by specifying its geographic location. (Make sure you understand what a population is.)
•recognize a trait of the population to be addressed.
•describe how this trait varies among individuals.
•elucidate how the change in this trait occurs. You will describe the trait in the population at the starting point and then what the trait will look like at a later time, as a result of natural selection.
•Make sure to explain the process by which the changes occurred. What is the selective pressure?
•describe why the change might confer more fitness to a particular environment.
•Also, explain what change occurs in the environment that causes a change in the characteristic (trait).

What percentage of rna molecules will be radioactive
: The Kingdom Fungi contains members with saprobic, parasitic and mutualistic modes of nutritiom. How do these types of nutrition relate to the ecological and economiv importace of this group.

Provide a possible mechanism for the resistance
: Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy are normally more susceptible to infections. However, a patient receiving an antitumor drug that inhibited cell division was resistant to salmonella. Provide a possible mechanism for the resistance.

What is her diagnosis
: A women is perspiring profusely with rapid breathing, breath smells like acetone and blood sugar is 650mg/ml, blood chemistry indicates acidosis, what is her diagnosis, is it hypoglicemia, but thrown off by rapid breathing.

The most likely diagnosis on the differential is
: Discuss how medical technologies are evaluated. Give examples of at least two evaluation methods that have been discussed either in popular press or scholarly journals.

What stores calcium ions in the muscle cells
: What is involved with producing Energy (such as ATP) for muscle contraction. An organelle in the muscle cell that helps distributes the signal to contract by the interior of the cell.

Provide an example of convergent and divergent evolution
: In what ways are species more "fluid" than even 20th century biologists might have believed? To what extent was Darwin's explanation of species as "convenient constructions" accurate? Are species real.
