<span>Genetic drift is also known as allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect. It is a change in allele frequencies caused by random events. Sewall Wright is a biologist who studied it whish is why it sometimes bears his name. It shows how genes can be changed.</span>

Genetic drift is a change in allele frequencies caused by random events.Therefore in this case the correct answer is the change in allele frequencies caused by random events. Genetic drift is one of the basic mechanism of evolution along with natural selection, mutation and migration. In each generation, several individuals may randomly leave behind a few more descendants than other individuals. Genetic drift occurs when the occurrence of variant forms of a gene (allele) increases or decreases by chance over time.

Answer: d. on the plasma membrane

Explanation: Prokaryotic cells also synthesis ATP the limitations is that enzymes required for the synthesis of ATP are attached to the cell membrane which surrounds the cell. ATP synthesis complex of prokaryotic cells are embedded in the cell membrane. Prokaryotes lack mitochondrial/thylakoid membrane so therefore, ATP is produced on their cell surface membrane.

Which fossils provide information as to the mode of formation of an oxygen-rich atmosphere by about 2 billion years ago?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The fossils that provide information on the formation of an oxygen-rich atmosphere are the stromatilites from the Precambrian era. These are layered and columnar fossils consisting mainly of cyanobacteria which were the original life form back then. These bacteria took in carbon dioxide and produced oxygen by photosynthesis as early as 2.5 billion years ago (the earth is about 4.5 billion yrs old).

How can I tell what diagram show that the cell will shrink ? I’m working on diffusion and osmosis worksheet.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

A cell will shrink in a hypertonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, there is more solute outside the cell than inside the cell. This means that water will leave the cell (diffuse) to try and create equilibrium, causing the cell to shrink.

In a diagram, there will be lots of solute outside the cell and less solute inside the cell.
