B) separates sections of DNA by size in order to isolate specific genes. (1 point)

Asmall number of finches are removed randomly from the wild and placed in a protected bird area. they are given as much food as they need and have plenty of space. why would natural selection not occur in this population? a. there is no reason for genetic mutation to occur. b. the birds compete for limited resources, c. the population has not reached carrying capacity. d. there is no genetic variation in the finches.

This is the diveristy of ecosystems natural communites and habits it is the variety of ways that species interact with each other and their environment

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
