Answer:

4. A large and isolated population of squirrels in a relatively stable environment in which no genetic mutations are occurring and mating between males and females is random.

Explanation:

1. A small and isolated population of seals living in a stable environment with no genetic mutations.❌

1. false

Hardy-Weinberg assumption is not violated for a small population as seen in this case.

2. A large population of fish where females mate with males based on size.❌

false

Hardy-Weinberg assumption is not violated for an instance where mating is not random as seen in this scenario.

3. A population of birds with no genetic mutations that often mate with members of neighboring bird populations.❌

False

Hardy-Weinberg assumption is not violated for where gene flow is seen among population in this scenario.

4. A large and isolated population of squirrels in a relatively stable environment in which no genetic mutations are occurring and mating between males and females is random.✔

True

Hardy-Weinberg assumption is violated for in this situation due to large population size.

5. A small population of spiders living in an environment that strongly favors larger individuals.❌

false

Hardy-Weinberg assumption is violated for a small population and natural selection occurring as its obvious in this case.

There are five primary Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

A. no mutation,

B. random mating,

C. No gene flow,

D. infinite population size,

E. No selection.

If the assumptions are exempted in a gene, the population of that gene might undergo evolution causing a resultant change in the gene's allele frequencies.

In organisms with large genomes, inversions are more likely to be tolerated if the breakpoints occur in: reciprocal translocatio
andre [41]

Answer:

Non-coding DNA.

Explanation:

Inversion is a type of chromosomal abnormality in which the sequence of a segment of a chromosome is inverted or rotated at an angle of 180 degrees.  This type of abnormality can change the reading frame of the gene and can cause mutations.

But if the genome sequence is non-coding that is not involved in the formation of protein synthesis than even if the reading frame is inverted will not affect the phenotype of the cell. Also, the non-coding sequences are removed by the splicing mechanisms.

Thus, Non-coding DNA is correct.
