Henry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. One population lived on an island and the other lived on the

mainland. Both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. A year later, Henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. Which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? Gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. Genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. Gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. Genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.

the island is a small specie of lizards so if the mainland specie was a large population it would have been the one to be affected by an increase instead of a decrease. The genetic drift was caused by not having enough of the same kind to keep the heredity going, most likely the largest population is the one that had enough of the same heredity to keep the population of lizards going. In a way the hurricane with the force on both species caused a genetic drift but increased a larger population for a year later.

Degger [83]

Answer:

Answer is A. B-hemoglobin mRNA is translated more efficiently than is a-hemoglobin mRNA.

Explanation:

The introduction of electric charge into a gel or fluid, causing or resulting in the movement of the charged particles in the gel or fluid, is referred to as the electrophoresis. It can also be explained as a separation method or technique which is based on the movement of particles or ions in an electric field.

The electrophoresis is used in separating DNA fragments , RNA or protein, based on their size and charge.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Dominant: 20, Recessive: 20

Explanation:

The case shown in the question above explores simple Mendelian traits, since it shows a population where individuals of the same species present the dominant allele (R- red) and the recessive allele (r- white). We can project, then, that this population has an allele balance, where it is possible to find 20 red beans, which have the dominant allele and 20 white beans, which present the recessive allele.
