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.

At what temperature does all molecular motion stop?
Over [174]

Answer:

Absolute Zero

Explanation:

It is based on molecular motion, with the temperature of 0K, also known as absolute zero, being the point where all molecular motion ceases. The freezing point of water on the Kelvin scale is 273.15K, while the boiling point is 373.15K

It wouldn't be 0 degrees C or 0 degrees F because the temp of the molecular motion stop in Celsius is -273.15 degrees and in Fahrenheit it would be -459.67 degrees.

I hope this helps :)

Which organisms have the fewest similarities? Explain why these organisms still qualify as living things despite sharing few cha
VladimirAG [237]

Plants have the fewest similarities with the other two groups of organisms.

<h3>Plants vs animals</h3>

Plants generally comprise all living organisms that have chlorophyll and are able to manufacture their own foods by photosynthesis.

Animals, on the other hand, are living organisms that cannot manufacture their foods and are mobile. Animals are either vertebrates or invertebrates.

Plants qualify as living organisms because they are able to feed, excrete, reproduce, grow, respond to stimuli, die, and carry out other basic characteristics of living organisms.

Explain the importance of covalent bonds in four macromolecules
nikitadnepr [17]

Covalent bonds is important in four macromolecules such as proteins (polymers of amino acids), nucleic acids (polymers of nucleotides), carbohydrates (polymers of sugars) and lipids (with a variety of modular constituents) because they served as a basic structure of macromolecules.

 In addition, the resulting covalent bond is a result of sharing a pair of electrons, one from each atom or molecular units.
