An endangered species of wildflower has been reduced to a single small population in a mountain meadow. An early spring blizzard

buries and kills all but three of the remaining plants, one of which has a rare allele. The resulting evolutionary change in the population is an example of:

Answer:

Parallel Evolution

Explanation:

It is because only three members are normal while one of them has a rare recessive allele. Due to parallel evolution, the recessive allele will now  become common as the other previously distinguished dominant alleles and now all the traits will be in a uniform equilibrium according to Hardy-Weinberg Theorem.

Answer:

Bottleneck/ genetic drift

Explanation:

Bottleneck can be described as a situation whereby a  population of an organism is negatively affected through some certain events such as uncontrollable hunting of the specie,  destruction of habitat or environmental circumstances or disaster, and results to a reduction of the population.

Bottleneck is known to be a type of genetic drift, and its effect drastically reduces the population size of an organism. It also brings about a random change in the frequency of the alleles, which can be described as an evolutionary change.

In this case, what caused a reduction and evolutionary change of species of wildflower to mountain meadow is bottleneck.

Explain why cell contents and their environment are likely to freeze under extremely cold temperatures
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A fall in temperature can also adversely affect cell and cell membranes. At low temperatures, the phospholipids' fatty acid tails are moving less and stiffer. This reduces the membrane's overall fluidity as well as reduces its permeability and perhaps limits the entry into the cells of vital chemicals like oxygen and glucose. Also, low temperatures can impede cell development by preventing cell size expansion.

In severe cases, such long term exposure to sub-freezing temperatures, fluid in the cell can start solidifying and can form crystals that breach the membrane and destroy the cell.

Please what is meant by photosynthesis​
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities. Some of this chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars and starches, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water, In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product that stores three times more chemical energy than the carbohydrates. Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.
