Answer:

The answer is a) gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow is any displacement of genes from one population to another. The gene flow includes a multitude of different types of events, such as pollen that is transported by air to a new destination or people who move to another city or another country. If genes are transported to a population where those genes did not exist, gene flow can be a very important source of genetic variability.

Why can information only pass in one direction across synapse?? pls help !!
klio [65]
A Nerve electrical impulse only travels in one direction. There are several reasons nerve impulses only travel in one direction. The most important is synaptic transport.
In order for a "nerve impulse" to pass from cell to cell, it must cross synaptic junctions. The nerve cells are lined up head to tail all the way down a nerve track, and are not connected, but have tiny gaps between them and the next cell. These tiny gaps are called synapses.
When you get a nerve firing, you have probably heard that it is an electrical impulse that carries the signal. This is true, but it is not electrical in the same way your wall outlet works. This is electrochemical energy. Neurotransmitters are molecules that fit like a lock and key into a specific receptor. The receptor is located on the next cell in the line. When the neurotransmitter hits the receptor on the next cell in line, it signals that cell to begin a firing as well.
This will continue all the way down the length of the nerve track. In a nutshell, a nerve firing results in a chain reaction down the nerve cell's axon, or stemlike section. Sodium (Na+) ions flow in, potassium (K+) ions flow out, and we get an electrochemical gradient flowing down the length of the cell. You can think of it as a line of gunpowder that someone lit, with the flame traveling down the length of it. Common electrical power is more like a hose full of water, and when you put pressure on one end, the water shoots out the other.
Therefore, nerve impulses cannot travel in the opposite direction, because nerve cells only have neurotransmitter storage vesicles going one way, and receptors in one place.

"Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely
lyudmila [28]

Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"

A) complete dominance

B) incomplete dominance

C) codominance

D) epistasis

E) incomplete penetrance

Answer:

B) incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.

For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".

If one population is nearly decimated, it has no affect another population if the second
natita [175]
False, because if the second population depends on the first as a food source then if the first decimates then the second will also start to decimate
