Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"A small group of individuals leave a larger population and colonize a new area that is physically separated from the original population. Due either to chance or genetic drift, the genetic composition of the new colony differs from the larger population. This is an example of ...

A) gene flow - B) a founder event - C) geographic isolation - D) allopatric speciation "

Answer:

B) a founder event

Explanation:

The founding effect occurs when some individuals from a given population isolate themselves and establish a new population in another location, relatively distant from the original. This new population presents only a small portion of the genetic variety of the original population, and, because it has a small number of individuals, it provides the action of genetic drift, a process in which the frequencies of genes fluctuate at random, regardless of whether they are linked whether or not to adapt.

The populations formed by the founder effect are small and, therefore, are more subject to extinction processes than larger populations.

What is substrate-level phosphorylation?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D --  ATP synthesis when the phosphate donor is a substrate with high phosphoryl transfer potential

Explanation:

Substrate- level phosphorylation is the synthesis of ATP from ADP by the transfer of phosphoryl group from a substrate with high phosphoryl group potential to the ADP molecule.

In substrate-level phosphorylation, the donor is a phosphorylated intermediate molecule with a high phosphate transfer potential and it is a way through which phosphate in introduced into a molecule, the other two ways are oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation. In substrate-level phosphorylation, a PO4^2- is transferred from a phosphate intermediate (substrate) to ADP to form ATP. Phosphorylase and kinases are enzymes involved in this reaction. An example is the reaction in glycolysis which involves phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP to form Pyruvate and ATP. This is to ensure adequate supply of energy to cells and also during anoxia so as not to make mitochodria strain the glycolytic ATP reserves.

What is the base pairing rule state
malfutka [58]
The rules of base pairing explain the phenomenon that whatever the amount of adenine (A) in the DNA of an organism, the amount of thymine (T) is the same (Chargaff's rule). Similarly, whatever the amount of guanine (G), the amount of cytosine (C) is the same.
