Yes, the different frequencies of evolutionary change could affect allele frequency in a population.

<h3>What are the agents of evolutionary change? </h3>

All populations are usual in a constant state of evolution. This means that all the species are continuously changing their genetic makeup over different generations. These changes can be subtle or they can be spontaneous.

If a population is not evolving, it is said to be in Hardy - Weinberg state. In this state, the allele frequency and the genetic makeup of the population will remain the same across generations.

The agents of evolutionary change defy the Hardy - Weinberg state. These are mutation, gene flow, non-random mating, natural selection and genetic drift.

During cellular respiration the largest amount of ATP is generated in

Degger [83]

The electron transport chain of the cellular respiration process produces maximum ATP.

There are three parts of cellular respiration:

Glycolysis, which produces 2 ATP.
Krebs cycle, which does not produce any ATP. It produces only the raw materials for ATP production.
Oxidative phosphorylation, which involves the electron transport chain that produces maximum ATP. It takes one NADH molecule via Channel 1 to produce 2.5 ATP and one FADH2 molecule via channel 2 to produce 1.5 ATP, for a total of 34 ATP.

Answer:

The one treated with DNase and protease

Explanation:

The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with DNase and protease respectively.

The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.

The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.
