Claytonia virginica is a woodland spring herb with flowers that vary from white, to pale pink, to bright pink. Slugs prefer to eat pink-flowering over white-flowering plants (due to chemical differences between the two), and plants experiencing severe herbivory are more likely to die. The bees that pollinate this plant also prefer pink to white flowers, so that Claytonia with pink flowers have greater relative fruit set than Claytonia with white flowers. A researcher observes that the percentage of different flower colors remains stable in the study population from year to year. Given no other information, if the researcher removes all slugs from the study population, what do you expect to happen to the distribution of flower colors in the population over time?

  1. The percentage of pink flowers should increase over time.

  2. The percentage of white flowers should increase over time.

  3. The distribution of flower colors should not change.

  4. The distribution of flower colors should randomly fluctuate over time.

The sequence of transcriptional activation events at a typical Pol II promote

I- Mediator facilitates the binding of TBP (or TFIID) and TFIIB, and the other basal transcription factors and Pol II then bind.

II- Activators bind the DNA.

III-The activators recruit the histone modification/nucleosome remodeling complexes and a coactivator such as Media.

IV- Phosphorylation of the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II leads to transcription initiation.

Some steroid hormone receptors function in the nucleus as transcription activators, stimulating the transcription of certain genes when a particular steroid hormone signal is present. When the hormone is absent, the receptor proteins revert to a repressor conformation, preventing the formation of PICs. It is an example of;
