On a isolated island, a researcher discovers a population of
mice that are physical hyperactive traveling up to 11 km a
day. In comparison, their nearest relative located on the
mainland travel less than 1 km a day. The researcher believes
the gene B13-2 is responsible for physical hyperactivity.
The researcher collects and transports 20 mice from the
island to his laboratory. The mice are divided into two
groups of 10 mice. One group has had the 13B-2 gene
inactivated while the second group of mice continue to have a
functional 13B-2 gene. The researcher records the distance
traveled daily on running wheel for 15 days for each
group.
1) Identify the independent variable.
2) Identify the control group.
3) Which genetic technology was used to create one group of
mice?
a) Gel Electrophoresis
b) Knockout gene
c) Transformation
d) Knockin gene
e) PCR
f) Immunoassay
4) The mice on the isolated island and the mainland share a
common ancestor. However, when a mouse from each location
that are opposite sex are placed together, they are unable to
produce offspring. The evolution of these two groups of mice
is an example of
a) speciation.
b) convergent evolution.
c) homologous selection.
d) gene flow.
e) bottleneck.
