A population in which the frequency of alleles remains the same over generations is said to be in genetic equilibrium. Describe

one mechanism by which a populations' genetic equilibrium can be disrupted and result in the process of evolution.

Answer:

Natural selection disrupts the genetic equilibrium by favoring the genes for the traits that impart survival advantage to individuals.

Explanation:

Natural selection refers to the unequal survival rate of individuals of a population due to the presence of some beneficial adaptive genetic trait. These individuals are able to survive more and leave more progeny. Over generations, the population has increased number of these individuals leading to evolution of a population with different allele frequencies.  

For example, the frequency of gene for antibiotic resistance in the bacterial population was increased once humans started using antibiotics to control the bacterial population. This led to the evolution of the bacterial population with antibiotic resistance.

Taxonomy

The Radio-ulna and digits of most primates and animals represents a homologous structure




An example of another internal structure is the genes.
The homologous chromosomes have the same genes in common. Each cell has at least two sets of chromosomes which one comes from one’s father also called as paternal chromosome and mother, called as the maternal chromosomes. These chromosomes are what makes the child obtain the characters and may depend on the traits the parents possess. Homologous chromosomes are not duplicated chromosomes or identical however, they are analogous or similar. The alleles for a specific characteristics isn’t the same but the same genes are in the same order.<span> </span>

Compare the processes by which a car and a human use "fuel" to perform work. What are the similarities?
Alenkinab [10]

A car needs to be fueled before it can set in motion to posses a given amount of kinetic energy.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy is the capacity of doing work. In physics, there exist different types of energy; among which are follows:

  • Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy can simply be defined as that energy a body posses due to its motion
  • Potential energy: , On the other hand, potential energy is the energy a body has due to its relative position.

Other forms of energy include:

  • Solar energy
  • Nuclear energy
  • Mechanical energy

So therefore, a car needs to be fueled before it can set in motion to posses a given amount of kinetic energy.

Therefore, kinetic energy is the energy which allows a car to be fueled before it can set in motion .
