Hybridization between mature mRNA and DNA can identify introns in eukaryotic genes. When mature mRNA produced by the insulin gene is hybridized with denatured chromosomal DNA, which of the following will most likely be observed?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1.  Hybridization of mRNA would occur with random sections of chromosomal DNA.

  2. Hybridization of mRNA with DNA would occur in a continuous stretch that is equal to the length of the mRNA.

  3. Hybridization of mRNA with DNA would occur but with many single-stranded loops of DNA.

  4. Hybridization of mRNA with DNA would occur but with many single-stranded loops of mRNA.

The following figure is a model of seedling establishment as a function of distance from a parent tree. Initial seed density measures the number of seeds falling to the ground. Seed survivorship measures the proportion of seeds that survive to the adult stage at each distance

This model predicts that recruitment of new individuals into the population should be

The relative abundance of C plant species increases with latitude because of the associated temperature gradient. A study in North America found that at  42°  North,  C3  plants  become more  abundant than  C4  plants. Given  an  increase in  mean global  temperatures by  10°C and no  other changes in  environmental conditions,  the latitude at which C3 plants become more abundant:
