What conditions are necessary for populations to remain in hardy-weinberg equilibrium

Biology
2 answers:
uysha [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

There are five conditions that disrupt the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium:

Natural selection

Mutation

Genetic drift

Migration (gene flow)

Nonrandom mating

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was explored earlier in this lesson in relation to allele frequency and the number of genotypes and phenotypes. This equilibrium was developed by Godfrey Hardy and Wilhelm Weinberg completely independent of one another. The equilibrium states that if there are no external forces of evolution on a population, then the allele frequency of that population will never change. The individuals within a population would all look the same as each other.

Answer:

Large population

Random mating

No evolutionary mechanisms (mutations, genetic flow,, genetic drift, natural selection)

Explanation:

According to  Hardy-Weinberg model, allele frequence (or genotype frequencies) will remain constant through generations in the absence of disturbing factors, evolutionary mechanisms. Such constant population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (no evolving population). Factor that can disturb equilibrium of the population are nonrandom mating, mutations, gene flow, natural selection, genetic drift.

According to Hardy-Weinberg model:

p2+2pq+q2=1 (p+q=1)

p2 is the frequency of dominant homozygous genotype

2pq is is the frequency of heterozygous genotype

q2 is is the frequency of recessive homozygous genotype

Mycoplasma mycoides is of particular interest because:
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: It has multiple nuclei, It is one of the smallest of cells with among the smallest of genomes.

Explanation:

Mycoplasma mycoides is a bacterial strain of the genus Mycoplasma. It belongs to the class of Mollicutes. This is parasitic in nature. It lives in the ruminants.  It is smallest known bacteria that does not posses the cell wall. It is present everywhere as a pathogen. It's function is to interfere with the ability of the virus to affect the mammalian cells. It posses multiple nuclei.

It is smallest free-living single celled organism. Due to the small size the entire genome can be sequenced. It can be useful for purpose of research and it is of particular interest because of it's small cell size and multiple nuclei. It serves as a model organism to study the bacterial evolution.

Disturbances to an ecosystem, such as fires and floods, are often seen as negative. Describe a situation where
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

A biological community in which association takes place between the organisms and their physical surroundings is termed as an ecosystem. It can also be defined as an association between the nonliving and living components found within the environment. A particular geographical region, which is specified for the species thriving within it is known as a biome.  

A branch of science, which deals with the natural procedures that comprise fire within an ecosystem and the ecological influences it imparts, the association between the biotic and the abiotic constituents of an ecosystem with the fire, and the role played by fire within an ecosystem is termed as a fire ecology.  

Different kinds of ecosystems like savanna, prairie, coniferous forests and chaparral have originated by the contribution of the fire, which plays an essential role in the renewal and vitality of the habitat. Different kind of plant species needs the assistance of fire to establish, to reproduce, or to germinate. In case, if the suppression of wildfire takes place, it will eventually result in the eradication of various plant species and the animals that rely upon them.

What is one result of Meiosis?
Feliz [49]
The final product of Meiosis is haploid daughter cells in which each cell has 23 chromosomes. What happens in meiosis is that, the cell is divided twice and this produces four daughter cells. During this process that our sex cells are produced. So the answer for this would be option D.
