How could genetic drift explain differences in the genotype frequencies among the caucasian and aborigine populations?

1 answer:

7 0

Genetic drift occurs when there is no random mating across a population. This causes a change in allelic frequency due to a random sampling of the population.

As the aboriginal population explored the earth, a small part of the population became geographically isolated either due to continental drift and climate changes. As the isolated population grew bigger, they established their own gene pool. This resulted a change in genotypic frequencies from that of the aboriginal population.

Rotator cuff

The rotator cuff is a group of muscles that perform a variety of tasks such as flexion, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation. The muscles in this group are essential to all movement of the shoulder, making them very essential for upper body mobility. Namely, the muscles of the rotator cuff are supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and subscapularis.

Which diagrams shows reaction pathway that absorbs energy?

postnew [5]

Question:

<em>The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.</em>

Part 1: Does the diagram illustrate an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Part 2: Describe how you can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram and if each is positive or negative.

Answer:

Part 1: The diagram illustrates an endothermic reaction as the products has a higher potential energy than the reactants do. There is a positive slope of the diagram and there is enough energy to meet the activation energy requirement.

Part 2: You can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram by the potential energy of the reactants. If the reactants have a high potential energy, then the enthalpy is also high, and if the reactants have a low potential energy, then the enthalpy is low. You can determine if the diagram is positive or negative by knowing if its an endothermic or exothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is positive because the products are higher than the reactants and a exothermic reaction is negative because the reactants are higher than the products.
