High-throughput sequencing reveals that 30 new mutations have occurred in the coding regions of genes in an individual lizard. if the coding regions of this lizard comprise 150 million nucleotides per haploid genome, what is the mutation rate per nucleotide?

Groups of organisms with low biotic potential, such as gray whales, that produce at most one offspring every other year a) are r-selected b) are k-selected c) are not subject to density-dependent limiting factors d) show the initial stages of the extinction process e) have escaped from the processes of natural selection and adaptation

6. in domesticated cats, the following are independently assorting: normal ears (t) is dominant to tufted ears (t); curved whiskers (c) is dominant to straight whiskers (c); the presence of six toes (s) is dominant to five toes (s); gene for hair length is an x-linked codominant. the three phenotypes for hair length are long (xhxh), medium (xhxh), and short (xhxh); medium is the heterozygous condition. given two parents: ttccssxhxh x ttccssxhy how many different gametes could be formed in the female cat with respect to these four traits? how many phenotypes are possible in the offspring from this mating?

The finches on the galapagos island were similar in form except for variations of their beaks. darwin observed that these variations were useful for: attracting a mate defending territory building nests gathering food
