I had to look for the options and here is my answer:

The lipids that could be classified as a precursor for both testosterone and Vitamin D is cholesterol. It has been studied that Vitamin D can have a direct effect on the levels of cholesterol in the body especially for women who are obese and postmenopausal.

When the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to amplify segments of DNA, the sample is first heated, and then cooled, in cyc
baherus [9]

Answer:

At least 17 PCR cycles or 16 PCR cycles

Explanation:

As we know -

In one chain of  heating and cooling  of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the strands of DNA gets doubled.

The general mathematical representation of this is

{2^n - (2 *  n)}

where "n" is the number of PCR cycles.

It is given that DNA strands  to be produced is 16 times the original quantity of DNA.

So the PCR cycle must be carried out at least 17 times in order to have DNA strand not less  than 16 times the original quantity of DNA

Knowing that some individuals from Island 1 colonized Island 2, biologists sample the Mainland and two Island populations fifty
raketka [301]

Answer:

The evolutionary mechanism that could be influencing the allele frequencies between both islands and the mainland population might be Founder Effect.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the random change that occurs in the allelic frequency of a population through generations. The magnitude of this change is inversely related to the size of the original population. These changes produced by genetic drift accumulate in time and eventually, some alleles get lost, while some others might set. Genetic drift affects a population and reduces its size dramatically due to a disaster -bottleneck effect- or because of a population split -founder effect-. In <u>founder effect</u>, a new population originates when a few individuals who are coming from a bigger population carrying its genes, settle down in a new area and reproduce. This small population might or might not be genetically representative of the original one. Some rare alleles might be exceeded or might be completely lost. Consequently, when the small population increases in size, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, <u>genetic variability is reduced</u> and there exists the possibility of developing a peculiar allelic composition. If the number of individuals that originated the new population is low, the founder effect will be very extreme, because the effects of the genetic drift are inversely proportional to the original number of individuals.  

<em>In the exposed situation, the evolutionary mechanism that could be influencing the allele frequencies between both islands and the mainland population might be Founder Effect. The fact that both islands are similar in their frequencies might be due to little genetic variation on island 1, or because dispersion to island 2 is a recent event on time. </em>

Assuming that a mountainside, which slopes and has a plain, which is flat, received the same amount of rain, which is more erode
Rama09 [41]
The region that would be eroded the most would be those at the slopes of the mountain. When heavy rainfall comes, the soil in these regions gets soften thus being forced down forming a run-off due to the force of gravity. These eroded soil would eventually continue to the valleys thus causing landslides.
