Genetic drift simulation: understanding evolution

Biology
1 answer:
sleet_krkn [62]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance (sampling error).

Genetic drift occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.

Genetic drift may result in the loss of some alleles (including beneficial ones) and the fixation.

Genetic drift can have major effects when a population is sharply reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group splits off from the main population to found a colony (founder effect).

Some substances but not other can cross the (blank) membrane of a cell
Orlov [11]

The correct answer is :

Some substances but not other can cross the (blank ) membrane of a cell. The   blank is to be filled with either cell or plasma. Cell membrane or plasma membrane is the living boundary of a cell which is made of phospholipid. It is a semi-permeable or differentially permeable membrane. It only allows small and non-polar molecules to pass through it. It prevents polar ions or molecules to pass through it

Some materials can move across the cell membrane against a concentration gradient by
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Molecules which move against the concentration gradient across the cell membrane employ the mechanism of active transportation.

Explanation:

Normally, permitted molecules moves across the cell membrane of the cell by the process of diffusion and osmosis. This is used when molecules move from hypertonic region to hypotonic region (if ions) and hypotonic to hypertonic (if water). This is a passive transportation which do not require the expense of energy from the cell.

In contrast, when molecules move in or out of the cell against their concentration gradient, that is ions moving from hypotonic region to hypertonic region, they implore the expense of energy in form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and the involvement of the membrane carrier proteins. This is called active transport.
