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.

Give several advantages to passive solar heating uses and active solar system applications
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:A material designed to produce passive solar energy can achieve energy savings of 70%. In addition to this great advantage, we show you what are the main benefits that passive solar energy can bring us:

Reduced maintenance cost. Since it has no external equipment to harness the energy, the maintenance required will be practically nil.

It is 100% renewable energy. It does not emit polluting gases and helps to maintain the environment, in addition to being an inexhaustible source which is the sun and we can always have it.

Energy and economic savings.  

Reduction in the cost of electricity and gas bills.  

Compatible with solar panel installations. In fact, it is currently considered as a complementary technology.  

APPLICATIONS :Active solar energy is mainly used to obtain sanitary hot water, heating systems and to transform solar radiation into electrical energy.

Active solar technology is also used to produce air currents for ventilation or cooling and to store heat for later use. In any of these processes, the use of pumps and fans is required.

Other uses of active solar energy are:

Water purification.

Drying.

Evaporation.

Distillation.

Solar batteries.

Solar chargers.

Energy for street lighting, traffic signals and roads.

Explain why an energy pyramid in any ecosystem typically is limited to four or five levels only
Delvig [45]
Because there is only a finite amount of energy. Energy is lost between each trophic stage. The top predator would gain the least amount of energy, shared between the least amount of organisms within the predator species. Typically there just aren't any other animals that can kill and eat the top predator, but there also wouldn't be enough of the top predator to eat so any species above them would quickly die out.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

Letter b. Gluconeogenesis

Explanation:

Immediately after eating we use the sugars in the food and utilize for energy and last a couple of hours. After that and about 15 hours later our body uses the energy stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, a process called glycogenolysis, that is the action of breaking the glycogen to free the energy. After 24 hours, the body starts to use another molecule for energy like fatty acids and start to synthesize glucose from other precursors, this process is called gluconeogenesis, and fuels the vital organs like the brain to maintain its function.
