Imagine an island archipelago where all of the islands are founded by individuals that are heterozygous at a particular locus. I

f there is no migration or mutation, and the alleles at that locus are neutral, what do you expect the island populations to look like after many generations?
a) Some island populations will have fixed one allele, and other populations will have fixed the other allele.
b) The populations on every island will have fixed the same allele.
c) The island populations will have high levels of genetic diversity at this locus.
d) We cannot assess the probability of any outcome because genetic drift is a random process.

Answer:

a) Some island populations will have fixed one allele, and other populations will have fixed the other allele.

Explanation:

The founder population for each island is heterozygous for the locus. The absence of any migration and mutation would result in no gene flow or the introduction of new alleles of the locus. Over several generations, one or the other allele will be fixed in the populations depending on the adaptive features imparted by each under the different conditions present on these different islands. Genetic drift may also work on these small founder populations to randomly fix one or the other allele.

The difference between Meristematic Tissue and Permanent Tissue are:

  • Meristematic tissue always has a prominent nucleus. Permanent tissue has a prominent nucleus in some like parenchyma while not in others like sclerenchyma.

Why are accessory organs needed for digestion to succeed?.
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The salivary glands, liver and gall bladder, and the pancreas aid the processes of ingestion, digestion, and absorption. These accessory organs of digestion play key roles in the digestive process. Each of these organs either secretes or stores substances that pass through ducts into the alimentary canal.

Two enzyme-controlled reactions are shown.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

D. Enzymes only break down large molecules.

Explanation:

Enzymes are the substances which helps in the broken down of large food molecules into small molecules. It is because our body is not able to absorb large food molecules, these large molecules are broken down into small molecules with the help of enzymes. Carbohydrate is broken down into glucose by amylase and protein is broken down into amino acids by protease.  Enzyme is non-living in nature and used as a  catalyst in order to speed up the chemical reaction.
