If 4 individuals in a laboratory population of 40 fruitflies died during a specific time interval of one week. What will be the death rate of the population during that period?
- A 1.0 individual per fruitfly per week
- B 4.0 individual per fruitfly per week
- C 0.4 individual per fruitfly per week
- D 0.1 individual per fruitfly per week
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 0.1 individual per fruitfly per week
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Death rate = \( \frac{\text{Number of deaths}}{\text{Initial population}} \) Death rate = \( \frac{4}{40} \) Death rate = \( 0.1 \) individual per fruitfly per week

Does the number of species in a community really matter to the functioning of the ecosystem? This is a question for which ecologists have not been able to give a definitive answer. For many decades, ecologists believed that communities with more species, generally, tend to be more stable than those with less species. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) (2004), the total number of plant and animal species described so far is more than 1.5 million.

In the year 1963 the two enzymes responsible for restricting the growth of bacteriophage in E. coli were isolated. The first restriction endonuclease - Hind II, whose functioning depended on a specific DNA nucleotide sequence was characterized five years later. It was found that Hind II always cut DNA molecules at a particular point by recognizing a specific sequence of six base pairs. This specific base sequence is known as the recognition sequence for Hind II. Besides Hind II, today we know more than 900 restriction enzymes that have been isolated from over 230 strains of bacteria, each of which recognize different recognition sequences.

ABO blood groups in human beings are controlled by the gene I. The plasma membrane of the red blood cells has sugar polymers that protrude from its surfaces and the kind of sugar is controlled by the gene. The gene (I) has three alleles IA, IB and I. The alleles IA and IB produce a slightly different form of the sugar while allele i does not produce any sugar. Because humans are diploid organisms, each person possesses any two of the three I gene alleles, IA and IB are completely dominant over I.
