After the drought of 1977, researchers hypothesized that on the Galápagos Island Daphne Major, medium ground finches with large, deep beaks survived better than those with smaller beaks because they could more easily crack and eat the tough Tribulus cistoides fruits. A tourist company sets up reliable feeding stations with a variety of bird seeds (different types and sizes) so that tourists can get a better look at the finches. Which of these events is now most likely to occur to finch beaks on this island?

A donor strain of bacteria with genes a+b+c+ is infected with phages to map the donor chromosome with transduction. The phage lysate from the bacterial cells is collected and used to infect a second strain of bacteria that are a_ b_ c_.

Based on the above, which one of the following conclusions is correct?

Donor strain of bacteria with His+ Ara+ Met+ Leu+ Cys+ Lys+ is infected with phages to map the donor chromosome with generalized transduction .The Phage lysate from bacterial cell is collected and use to infect second strain of bacteria that are His- Ara- Met- Leu- Cys- Lys- . Different transducing phages are selected on using different minimal media and their presence of growth (+) and absence of growth (-) given in table

An Hfr strain with genotype A B C D (each gene for amino acid synthesis )and that transfers the A gene very late was mated with recipient strain with genotype a b c d. After mating for several hours, the mixture was diluted and plated on minimal media with four different supplements having various number of colony

Media supplement with amino acid  

                 Colony                                          number

                  A+C                                                 500

                  C+D                                                  50

                     B                                                    10

                     A                                                   250

A transformation experiment is carried out using donor DNA that is A+B+C+ and a recipient that is A-B- C-. A+ transformants are selected and tested further. Of these, 64% are B+ and none are C+. Also, B+ are selected, and 8% are also C+. What is the gene order
