Answer:
The correct answer is: Genetic Drift.
Explanation:
- In any population of any species having two or more alleles encoding for different genes, the frequency of occurrence of each allele among the individuals of a population can vary.
- The frequency of one allele may be far more or far less than the frequency of other alleles.
- The frequency of any particular allele is dependent on factors like random mating among individuals as well as natural selection, that tends to increase the frequency of those alleles which provide a survival advantage to the individual in a given environment.
- Genetic drift can be defined as a phenomenon due to which the frequency of an allele encoding for a particular gene undergoes drastic change (increase or decrease) in a population due to random mating as well as natural selection.
- In the given statement, one individual of an isolated population of piranhas underwent synonymous mutation in the beta-globin encoding gene.
- A synonymous mutation can be defined as such a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene that does not affect the sequence, structure or function of the protein encoded by it.
- The increase in the frequency of the mutated form of the beta-globin gene after five generations to 5% indicates that due to the impact of random mating or natural selection or both, this has happened.
Answer: By Hormonal action and Nervous coordination
Explanation:
Hormones are substances produced by one tissue and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.
Body systems such as digestive, circulatory, excretory systems etc, all are coordinated to achieve a STABLE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT by the aid of HORMONES AND/OR NERVOUS COORDINATION.
For Example: the vasodilation of blood vessels during hot weather, and the opposite action of vasoconstriction during cold weather are both controlled by Hormonal action and nervous coordination which leads to a stable body temperature preventing excess heat accumulation.
Also, Nervous system controls the body systems, such that the muscle contractions are joined to actions like sweating, breathing, respiration etc
So, to maintain homeostasis hormonal action and Nervous coordination is necessary.
Carbon 14 has a half life of 5,730 years. Scientists measure how much carbon 14 the rock has. For objects older than 50,000 years, scientists will test the age of the things surrounding it.
Answer:
As the type of investigation is not discussed, lets answer the question generally.
Explanation:
One of the properties of water is that water in the form of ice is less dense as compared to water liquid water. This property of water lets fishes survive in conditions when the temperature is freezing.
The hydrogen bonds in water make the water turn into a vast, honeycomb structure when the temperature is below 4 degrees Celsius. This causes the ice to float on water and the fishes can stay alive in the liquid water underneath the ice.
