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.

The carrying capacity of an ecosystem describes the maximum number of organisms that can be supported by the water, food, shelte
Anon25 [30]

The correct answer choice would be C.) The death rate will increase. As the ecosystem's carrying capacity has been reached, more and more pressure is placed on the supplies the ecosystem can supply, eventually causing a collapse, which causes death rates to skyrocket. Hope this helped!

Which of these methods that aids in the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane requires the use of energy which is
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

D. Active transport.

Explanation:

Active transport is the method that uses the ATP's energy to move ions and molecules from one side to the other of the membrane. The elements move from a place of lower concentration to one of a higher concentration. They move against their concentration gradient, which is why they need the energy to do it. There are two types of active transport, primary and secondary.

The primary active transport is ion pumps that hydrolyze ATP using one of the phosphates of the ATP to change the pump's shape and move the elements against their concentration gradient. It uses the ATP's energy directly.

The secondary active transport does not use ATP directly. It uses the electrochemical gradient that the primary transport had created when hydrolyzing ATP to transport the ions and molecules.

Answer:

what is Nucleosynthesis - Nucleosynthesis is the creation of new atomic nuclei, the centers of atoms that are made up of protons and neutrons. Stars can create nuclei through two processes: either by combining two smaller nuclei (called fusion) or breaking a larger nucleus into multiple nuclei (called fission).

What Came Before the Big Bang? - The initial singularity is a singularity predicted by some models of the Big Bang theory to have existed before the Big Bang and thought to have contained all the energy and spacetime of the Universe.
