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

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.

Compare and contrast polysaccharides and nucleic acids in terms of monomer diversity and how they monomers are joined together
harkovskaia [24]

The monomer units of the carbohydrates vary in their total numbers extensively. Moreover, positions of the carbonyl groups along with the orientation of the hydroxyl groups also vary in the carbohydrates' monomers. The presence of any modification is also variable.

On the other hand, the nucleic acids have only 4 monomeric units. The linkages between the nucleic acid residues have less geometry than the glycosidic linkages.

How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration alike?
vampirchik [111]

The two main processes by which plant cells absorb, release, and use energy are photosynthesis and respiration. The process of photosynthesis is present in the chloroplasts of a pant cell. Photosynthesis uses the sun’s rays in the form of electromagnetic energy to convert it into chemical energy to be used for the plants. It needs proteins that are present in the plants to perform a series of necessary conversions. Moreover, the energy from the sun is the main catalyst to convert the carbohydrates in the plant into simpler sugars. And then a series of complex reaction takes place that their end product is oxygen. The oxygen produced is the cellular respiration.
