Question

1.In DNA cloning experiments such as the one we are carrying out in lab, we select for bacteria that have taken up the desired plasmid based on the plasmid providing _________________ (two words) to the bacteria

2. Darwinian Medicine as a theory can do all of the following except

a)    explain how a fever is a helpful response to infections

b)    explain why morning sickness provides a selective advantage

c)    help to develop new treatments to fight disease

d)    all of the above are true

3."evolution has never been observed explain" how you would refute this argument. Be as specific as possible.

4.explain why only populations evolve but individuals do not. Be as specific as possible.

Explanation / Answer

1. In DNA cloning experiments such as the one we are carrying out in lab, we select for bacteria that have taken up the desired plasmid based on the plasmid providing foreign gene to the bacteria

2. d)    all of the above are true
The aim of evolutionary medicine is not simply how they get sick but to understand why people get sick

3.
Biologists outline evolution as a modification within a gene pool of population over the time. One example is insects developing a resistance to pesticides over the amount of many years. although most Creationists acknowledge that evolution at this level may be a truth. What they do not admire is that such rate of evolution is all that's needed to provide the variety of all living things from common ancestor.

4. Individual organisms do not evolve. Populations do evolve. as a result of people in a very population vary, some within the population ar higher able to survive and reproduce given a selected set of environmental conditions. These people typically survive and turn out a lot of offspring, therefore passing their advantageous traits on to consequent generation. Over the time, the population changes.
