Viral Adaptation in Changing Hosts

Attached is a review of a paper by Crill et al. (2000) on evolutionary reversals during viral adaptation to changing hosts. It discusses the model system presented in this paper.

Heredity. Life on earth (biological concepts from the non-science major perspective)

Here is how the question reads: Heredity. Choose a human trait which follows Mendelian genetics; controlled by a simple gene with a dominant and a recessive allele. Describe this trait; either a common trait or one that is a disorder.

life on earth (biological concepts from the non-science major perspective)

Describe in detail one recent advance in biotechnology which relates to our study of DNA, genetics, reproduction or inheritance. Give examples.

"Survival of the Fittest" in terms of Natural Selection

Can you please describe the term "Survival of the Fittest" in terms of Natural Selection. Can you please also give an example of survival of the fittest, i.e. the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria, and explain.
