Answer:

Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have brown eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes.  No new settlers arrive,and nobody leaves the island.After a few generations,the percentage of blue-eyed individuals increases from the original zero to 25 percent.This is probably due to which of the following factors?

genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift entails when there are changes in the gene frequency which occur in a gene that is existing. From the analogy above, it is a known fact that only gneetic drift could allow such to happen as mutation will only occur with a sudden change of gene which is not the case described above

Q3. How does the fact that DNA Replicates semiconservatively decrease the
LuckyWell [14K]
If the DNA polymerase did nothing special when a mispairing occurred between an incoming deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate and the DNA template, the wrong nucleotide would often be incorporated into the new DNA chain, producing frequent mutations. The high fidelity of DNA replication, however, depends not only on complementary base-pairing but also on several “proofreading” mechanisms that act sequentially to correct any initial mispairing that might have occurred.

10. Name the pigments present in plants which can absorb solar energy.
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

10. chlorophyll

11. There are two main stages of photosynthesis: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.

12. Nutrition is necessary for the growth of new cells and the replacement or repair of worn-out cells. Nutrition gives energy for different metabolic processes in the body. Nutrition is required to produce resistance against different diseases.

13. trypsin

14. salivary amylase

15. Hydrochloric acid helps your body to break down, digest, and absorb nutrients such as protein. The hydrochloric acid found in the stomach facilitates digestion by disintegrating complex large food molecules into simpler molecules. The acid activates the pepsinogen enzyme required to digest proteins.

16. Saliva, the watery liquid produced by glands located under the tongue, is an essential component of the digestive process. Saliva is 98% water, so it moistens the mouth and helps compact food into softened particles for easier swallowing.

17. Digestive enzymes play a key role in breaking down the food you eat. These proteins speed up chemical reactions that turn nutrients into substances that your digestive tract can absorb. Your saliva has digestive enzymes in it. Some of your organs, including your pancreas, gallbladder, and liver, also release them.

18. small intestine

19. heterotrophic

Which statements describe Newton and the law of universal gravitation? Check all that apply.
nignag [31]

Answer:

1. Newton believed that gravity was a force.

3. The law of universal gravitation offers a mathematical explanation for the attraction between the moon and Earth.

Explanation:

Law of gravitation states that force is directly proportional to masses of objects and inversely proportional to the distance between from their center. Directly means if mass increases, force of attraction also increased while inversely means if distance decrease between objects, force of attraction is also increased. Gravity is measured in weight because weight ia a force which attracts things towards its center.
