Answer:
A new mutation
Explanation:
A mutation refers to the random changes in the DNA of organisms. A mutation changes the allele and genotype frequencies by the introduction of a new allele in the gene pool.
However, mutations are not the major factor responsible for changes in the gene pool of a population as mutations are rare. The rate of mutations is very slow and does not allow it to serve as a major factor to change the allele and genotype frequencies.
Answer:
Horizontal gene transfer
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer or lateral gene transfer is when an organisms of different species can acquire a gene from a different one. This process is well understood in bacteria and is responsible for the appearence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Bacteria can take DNA fragments through a process known as transformation, but this is less common in eukaryotes. Gene transfer agents like viruses could carry the gene from one specimen to the other. Another way could be Horizontal transposon transfer but the exact mechanisms behind it are still under research.
Answer:
Low mean corpuscular value can shift the curve to the left side.
Explanation:
RBC histogram may be defined as the process of plotting the number of blood cells on Y- axis and their relative size on X- axis. Modern automated haematology is used for the construction of RBC histogram.
The cell population of RBCs is similar in size but not equal to the size of RBC the curve can shift to either direction. The low MCV (mean corpuscular value) value can shift the the curve to the left side while considering an RBC histogram.
