Two scientists wrote a paper detailing their research and conclusions and submitted it to a scientific journal. several months later, they received the paper back from the publisher with many comments attached from several fellow scientists. what is most likely the next step taken by the authors of the paper?
a)they will change their research to a different topic and start all over again.
b)they will alter the data to match the results that their peers were expecting.
c)they will incorporate the suggestions from their peers and resubmit the paper. d)they will sue the journal for not printing the paper and delaying their research.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Anormal strand of dna is shown below, followed by the same strand of dna after mutations have occurred.

3. in the fruit fly, recessive mutation brown, b, causes brown color of the eye and absence of red pigment. recessive mutation p of another independent gene causes purple color of the eye and absence of brown pigment. the cross of a brown-eyed female and purple-eyed male produced wild type eyes. what will be the colors and their ratio in f2?
