<span>Mutation cannot be predicted and research cannot determine when mutations will occur. However, natural selection indicates that species with the strongest traits will multiply more and live longer than their weaker counterparts. Therefore natural selection is systematic and predictable.</span>

Is determined by the speed of light in transparent materials
Anvisha [2.4K]
When light traveling in a vacuum enters a new transparent medium, such as air, water, or glass, the speed is reduced in proportion to the refractive index of the new material. As the slider is translated to the right, the refractive index increases and the speed of light subsequently decreases.

If a small founder population of 12 people ends up on a small island, and one member of the population had a mutation that creat
mestny [16]

Answer:

96

Explanation:

This is genetic drift question, we can tell because the variable here is the population size. The probability of an allele of getting fixed is determined by its initial frequency, which is actually the probability of the allele of being fixed. So we need to calculate the initial allele frequency of this mutation:

Mutation allele frequency = # mutation alleles / total # of alleles = 1/24 = 0.04%

That is the probability of this allele to get fixed, so the probability of this allele getting eliminated is:

Elimination probability = 1 - fixing probability = 1- 0.04 = 0.96%

Answer: The probability of this allele getting eliminated is 96
