A farmer decides to go into the business of raising trout for tourists who enjoy fishing. She builds six trout ponds and stocks
Nastasia [14]

Yes the following statements about her trout is likely true Because the ponds are different and the populations are likely to experience different mutations, the populations will likely diverge evolutionarily, but only over many generations.

Explanation:

The effect of genetic drift can be seen in all populations but the most is seen in small population. The change in allele frequency due to the sampling error would lead to evolution of the species.

Bottleneck effect is when a population gets reduced due to some natural disaster. Her friends were not right about bottleneck effect.

So it is clear that no bottleneck effect will occur as each pond have different chance or rate of mutation and the change in alleles will be different. The  trouts will evolve independently in the different ponds and pass on the traits to their progeny.

Genetic drift does not take into account for the harm or benefit of the alleles that are passed on.

For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg.  They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.

Diagram depends to

Receptor(eg skin), receptor nerve(sensory neurone),centre reflex arc(spinal cord most of reflex action) they met relay neurone, motor neurone and ends at reflexor (eg muscle)

Why are biologists still debating the classification of protozoans? A. Biologists never agree on anything. B. There are estimate
miskamm [114]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Answer B is correct:

Because the biologists are continuing to learn more and more about such minute organisms, protozoan systematics – that is,  the taxonomy (classification) and the evolutionary interrelationships of major groups of protozoa – remains a  topic of debate and change, still today.

Some of the rather  LARGE and unwieldy taxonomic groupings of past years are  particularly subject to revision with expansion of and  refinement in the knowledge about the members of those –  and related – assemblages. Paradoxically, the protozoa  themselves are becoming more difficult to define with  precision as our information about them and other microbial assemblages increases. Thus, presenting a single  satisfactory circumscribed definition for them is not an  easy task.

...

Answer A sounds so funny.

Answer C and D are false because Protozoans are usually single-celled and heterotrophic.

...

Hope this answer can help you. Have a nice day!
