In prokaryotes new mutations accumulate quickly in populations, while in eukaryotes new mutations accumulate much more slowly.

Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

In Prokaryotes the the rate of new mutations is much more as compared to the eukaryotes. The rate of accumulation of mutation is slow in case of  eukaryote because their generation is long as compared to prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes have short generation time and large population size which enables them to accumulate the mutation quickly.

The machinery is also not that complex when it comes to prokaryotes. Transduction, conjugation and tranposable elements. So, the changes during these processes leads to mutation in the prokaryotes and can be observed quickly due to their small generation.

PLEASE HELP, BIOLOGY!!!!
julsineya [31]

Unlike natural selection, genetic drift does not depend on an allele’s beneficial or harmful effects. Instead, drift changes allele frequencies purely by chance, as random subsets of individuals (and the gametes of those individuals) are sampled to produce the next generation.

Every population experiences genetic drift, but small populations feel its effects more strongly. Genetic drift does not take into account an allele’s adaptive value to a population, and it may result in loss of a beneficial allele or fixation (rise to 100\%100%100, percent frequency) of a harmful allele in a population.

The founder effect and the bottleneck effect are cases in which a small population is formed from a larger population. These “sampled” populations often do not represent the genetic diversity of the original population, and their small size means they may experience strong drift for generations.

What is turgor pressure and why is it important
saw5 [17]
Turgor pressure is the water pressure inside plant cells. This is maintained by osmosis, which is the movement of water across a <span>different permeable membrane from a place where water concentration is higher to one where the concentration is lower.

Turgor pressure is important because it is what helps a plant stand upright and maintain the plant's structure.</span>
