Given that there are millions of species and millions of viruses, do you think a lot of species and viruses would contain the sequence "TGGGGYTTTACRGGTAACCT" in their DNA, or would this likely be unique to one species or one virus? Explain. (Think about the length of this sequence, and the likelihood of this exact sequence appearing “independently” in another virus.)

Answer #1

The given DNA sequence will be unique for a species of virus the reason being that every virus doesn't have DNA as the genetic material; some viruses also has RNA as its genetic material. An example of RNA virus is HIV and COVID19. There are also some viruses which contains either dsDNA or ssDNA as its genetic material. Therefore; it cannot be concluded that the given sequence will be present in other species of virus. The given sequence is being used as a forward primer (HKU-ORF1b-nsp14F) for COVID19 detection therefore; it is unique to COVID19 sequence.

discusse, the males of some species have ornaments or characteristics that lower fitness in some ways, but are attractive to females. For example, some birds have showy tails that make them more vulnerable to predators, but they increase their reproductive success. Which hypothesis do you find most plausible about why females might prefer such handicaps? Why do you favor this hypothesis? (This hypothesis could be one that we discussed in class, or it could be another one that you can...

Consider 37 species of poison dart frogs that live in Central and South America. They use either of two different poison compounds, poison "A" or poison "B". You are working in a lab that is studying these poisons, and you've been asked to work on the problem of "How did these poisons evolve", or put another way, "Why do some frogs use "A" and some use "B"? You come up with two ideas that you think are plausible. H1: The...
