C. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium will effectively stop once some individuals produce more offspring than others. Note that this is a principle that involves genotype frequencies in a certain population, and genotype frequencies come from producing genetics; not immigration, choosing mates and survival.

Answer:

C. Some individuals produce more offspring than others.

Explanation:

Random mating between organisms, absence of any factor of evolution (mutation, recombination, gene flow, migration etc.) and absence of any survival advantage of specific alleles serve to maintain the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium over generations. However, reproductive fitness, that is, ability of some organisms to produce more offspring than others would increase their number of population over generations. This would lead to increased frequency of their alleles in the gene pool and deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Bruce has a genetic disorder. bruce and his wife, kim, have three children, one of which has the genetic disorder. how is this d

laiz [17]

This would be a recessive disease.

Father is dd
Mother is Dd (has to be because one child has the disease)

Parents cross is dd x Dd which gives rise to Dd (0.5) and dd (0.5). Each time they have a child they have a 50% chance of the child having the disease. In their case, only one of their 3 children is dd. The others though are carriers!

1.) How do hurricanes form?

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1. there needs to be warm ocean water and moist, humid air in the region. When humid air is flowing upward at a zone of low pressure over warm ocean water, the water is released from the air as creating the clouds of the storm. As it rises, the air in a hurricane rotates.

2. Hurricanes are classified using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale — a 1 to 5 rating that's based on maximum sustained wind speed, according to the National Hurricane Center.

3. When a hurricane strikes a coastal area, it brings a number of serious hazards. These hazards include heavy rains, high winds, a storm surge, and even tornadoes. Storm surge pushes seawater on shore during a hurricane, flooding towns near the coast. Heavy rains cause flooding in inland places as well.

The pituitary gland is divided into _______ lobes.

Mnenie [13.5K]

The pituitary gland, otherwise known as the hypophysis cerebri, is a small gland that is about the size of a pea. It’s

often called the “master gland” because it produces the hormones that stimulate the function of other endocrine

glands. It’s located at the base of the brain on the hypothalamus and is divided into two lobes—anterior lobe and

posterior lobe.
