Imagine that a small group of rats is, by accident, stranded on an island. How will the group of rats evolve? Give one reason per trait, and use at least three different evolutionary mechanisms to explain your predictions.

Which of the following examples can cause gene flow between populations? a.an increase in predators to a population of zebra b.a volcanic eruption that kills half of a population of mice c.bird droppings that contain seeds from a different location d.a person that sprays a toxin on a group of mosquitoes

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
