Imagine a population evolving by genetic drift, in which the frequency of allele k is 0.8. what is the probability that at some

point in the future allele k will drift to a frequency of 1.0
Biology

Goryan [66]2 years ago
3 0

The probability that at some point in the future allele k will drift to a frequency of 1.0 is 0.5 because genetic drift is a random and non-directional mechanism of evolution that significantly alters the gene or allele frequency in any population.  

<h3>What is Genetic Drift?</h3>

Genetic drift may be defined as a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population changes over generations due to chance (sampling error). It is more effective in small populations.

The outcome of genetic drift can not be predicted because it is a random and non-directional mechanism of evolution. It is possible that it fixes the allele k and makes its frequency 1.0, while it also alters the frequency of other alleles and makes the allele k eliminated from the given population. It is a process that depends on the phenomena of chance.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Where are phospholipids most likely found in a eukaryotic cell?.
kondor19780726 [428]

The cell membrane is composed by a lipidic bilayer. Phospholipids are most likely found in the membrane of a eukaryotic cell.

<h3>MEMBRANE COMPOSITION</h3>

The cell membrane is composed of

  • two lipidic bilayers,
  • cholesterol,
  • proteins, and
  • glucans incrusted in between.

The membrane is mostly composed of phospholipids.

<h3>PHOSPHOLIPIDS</h3>

Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules.

They have hydrophilic heads facing the exterior and the interior of the cells and hydrophobic tails that arrange against each other in the interlayer space.

Lipids can easily change places with other lipids by lateral diffusion in the same layer.

They can diffuse transversally to the other layer but not as easily as lateral diffusion.

There are also other lipidic movements as rotational diffusion that imply the rotation of the molecule.

Phospholipids are most likely found in the membrane of a eukaryotic cell.
