Question

what mechanisms lead to changes in the diversity of species on earth?why?people make choices by selecting options they like best. the natural world also \selects\ (although not as a conscious decision) when environmental conditions allow organisms with a particular genetic trait to live healthier lives than other organisms. in this activity, we will explore how selection affects populations over time.model 1 - desktop swab resultse. coli bacterial variants from culturevariant pvariant qvariant rvarient se. coli culture from swab of desktope. coli colonies on growth medium without triclosane. coli colonies on growth medium with triclosan1. what is the source of the bacteria in the culture tube in model 1?2. how many genetic variants of e.coli were present in the culture from the initial swab?3. what variants of e.coli are found on the dish grown without triclosan?4. refer to the dish in model 1 with the medium that included triclosan.a. what variants of e.coli are found on the dish grown with triclosan?b. what likely happened to the other variants of e.coli on the dish with the medium containing triclosan?

Solution Steps

  1. Understand the question

    what mechanisms lead to changes in the diversity of species on earth?why?people make choices by selecting options they like best. the natural world also \selects\ (although not as a conscious decision) when environmental conditions allow organisms with a particular genetic trait to live healthier lives than other organisms. in this activity, we will explore how selection affects populations over time.model 1 - desktop swab resultse. coli bacterial variants from culturevariant pvariant qvariant rvarient se. coli culture from swab of desktope. coli colonies on growth medium without triclosane. coli colonies on growth medium with triclosan1. what is the source of the bacteria in the culture tube in model 1?2. how many genetic variants of e.coli were present in the culture from the initial swab?3. what variants of e.coli are found on the dish grown without triclosan?4. refer to the dish in model 1 with the medium that included triclosan.a. what variants of e.coli are found on the dish grown with triclosan?b. what likely happened to the other variants of e.coli on the dish with the medium containing triclosan?

  2. Brief Explanations
    1. The label directly below the culture tube identifies its source.
    2. The key to the right of the diagram lists distinct genetic variants of E. coli.
    3. Compare the colonies on the "without triclosan" dish to the provided variant key.

    4a. Compare the colonies on the "with triclosan" dish to the provided variant key.
    4b. Triclosan acts as a selective agent; variants unable to survive it will not grow.

  3. Final answer
    1. A swab taken from a desktop
    2. 4
    3. Variant P, Variant Q, Variant R, Variant S

    4a. Variant S
    4b. The other variants (P, Q, R) were unable to survive and reproduce in the presence of triclosan, so they died out and did not form colonies.
