Gwen is researching the effects of a small asteroid impact in an area that has started to regrow after being hit ten years ago. she considers the event to be a long-term change because the species of plants that were present had to start completely over from seeds after all of the plants in the area were killed by the impact.

what is the error in gwen’s thinking?

a. species will not regrow after an asteroid impact.
b. an asteroid impact is not an environmental change.
c. this is a seasonal change, not a long-term change.
d. this is a short-term change, not a long-term change.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

Which is one example of a phenotypic change that is not genetic

What was the purpose of mendel's experiments with dihybrid crosses? a. to determine if dna was a transforming factor b. to determine if traits could be recessive c. to determine if traits affected each other d. to determine if traits had more than one allele
