What happens if a population is not in hardy-weinberg equilibrium apex?

1 answer:

6 0

If a population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that can cause deviations from expectation depending on the assumptions of HW that are violated. If a population violates some of the assumptions (like mutations, migrations and selection) the allele frequencies will change over time. Also, if a non-random mating occurs (like inbreeding), it will cause an increase in homozygosity for all genes.

sergij07 [2.7K]

The correct answer is option B. The scientists were studying if the mud snails can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The characteristics in the study included parameters such as the mating season, number of offspring, effect of environmental stress conditions and lack of mates. Out of all the parameters being studied can affect asexual reproduction in the mud snail but lack or presence of mates is a parameter required to be studied to determine the mode of reproduction i.e. sexual or asexual because need for mates or mate dependent reproduction occurs in case of sexual reproduction.

____________ is the process by which inhibitory transmitters cause the inside of the neuron to become more negative.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Hyperpolarization

Explanation:

At the synapse, neurotransmitters bind to neurotransmitter receptors in the postsynaptic neuron’s plasma membrane. This results in the opening of the ions channels and the flow of specific ions to change the voltage across the membrane. An inhibitory neurotransmitter inhibits the firing of the action potential by making the inside of the membrane more negative. It is called hyperpolarization (inhibition).

It may occur when the neurotransmitter opens the Cl– or K+ channels to allow the movement of chloride ions into the cell while permitting the outward movement of potassium ions to make the inside of the cell more negative.

A cell can only respond to signals from other cells, not from the physical environment. receptor activation. The ability of a specific tissue or organ to respond to the presence of a hormone is dependent on: the presence of the appropriate receptors on the cells of the target tissue or organ.

What cell parts are common to all of these cells? Use complete sentences.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

between an animal cell and a plant cell there are some parts that are similar and carry out the same function like:

both have a cell membrane which selects what goes in the cell.

both have cytoplasm which holds the protoplasm(the living part of the cell)

both have a nucleus which carries out all cell activities and holds threads of DNA called chromosomes

both have a mitochondria which is the power house of the cell

both have golgi bodies which modify and carry proteins from sites of synthesis to sites of reaction
