Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Figure 19.4 Survivorship curves show the distribution of individuals in a population according to age. Humans and most mammals have a Type I survivorship curve, because death primarily occurs in the older years. Birds have a Type II survivorship curve, as death at any age is equally probable. Trees have a Type III survivorship curve because very few survive the younger years, but after a certain age, individuals are much more likely to survive. Q: Survivorship curves show the distribution of individuals in a population according to what metric? Choices: - weight - height - birth rate - age A:
Answer: age

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: When lactose is present, the repressor protein does not bind to the operator. This allows RNA polymerase to bind to the promoter and begin transcription. As a result, the lac genes are expressed, and lactose is digested. Q: When lactose is present in the cell, what allows the lac genes to be expressed? Choices: - concentration of repressor protein - binding of expressor protein - the addition of water - nonbinding of repressor protein A:
Answer: nonbinding of repressor protein

Question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The Precambrian Supereon (4.6 billion544 million years ago) is the first major division of the geologic time scale. The first living cells may have evolved around 4 billion years ago. By 1 million years ago, the first multicellular eukaryotes had evolved. The Precambrian ended with the first of six mass extinctions that occurred during Earth's history. Q: The first living cells may have evolved around how long ago? Choices: - 900,000 years - 6 billion years - 2.2 billion years - 4 billion years A:
Answer:
4 billion years
