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.

Explain what maria and craters are and how they formed. best answer will be marked as brainlest plz help.
Katen [24]
Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however, there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.

Answer:

A fall-arrest system should be worn while climbing a tree or any tall structure. This will enable the person to have a thing to break or slow his fall if he loses his grasp from the trunk of the tree.
