Homo habilis is the earliest known species in the human lineage. Cranial capacity of them is between 550-650cc. Anthropologists date that H. habilis originated between 2 and 1.9 million MYA, followed by Homo erectus, which dates to approximately 1.7 MYA. As a result, H. habilis was the first species that possessed the characteristic enlarged brain. This enlarged brain is also closely associated with the ability of using stones for tool-making. 
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

A population of field crickets in Pennsylvania has heritable phenotypic variation for a fast and slow chirp song. The frequency of alleles for both chirp types is 0.5. If Hurricane Ida hits this population of field crickets and reduces the population by 80%, which of the following is most likely over the next 2 generations? The population will evolve because genetic drift will favor one chirp type over another. The population will evolve because new mutations have been added to the population. The population may evolve because a population bottleneck will cause chance fluctuations in allele frequencies. The population will evolve because directional selection will favor one chirp type over the other. The population will be under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Recombinant plasmids will lose tetracycline resistance due to insertion of foreign DNA but can still be selected out from non-recombinant ones by plating transformants on tetracyclic containing medium. The transformants growing on ampicillin containing medium are then transferred on a medium containing tetra- le marker, ing noncycline. The recombinants will grow in ampicillin containing medium but not on that containing tetracycline. But, non-recombinants will grow on the medium containing both the antibiotics. a piece of In this case, one antibiotic resistance gene helps in selotics such kanamy- lecting tinactivated due to insertion' of alien DNA, and arkers for gene gets
