Answer:

C. There is no genetic drift

Explanation:

A population is said to be in genetic equilibrium when the genetic variation of a population remains constant over many generations.

For a population to remain in genetic equilibrium it is necessary that external factors that disturb the equilibrium should not be present.

The external factors that are responsible for disturbing the genetic equilibrium are mutations, non-random mating, genetic drift and gene flow.

Genetic drift occurs when due to a chance event the allele frequency of a population either increases or decreases and this is usually common in small populations.

Thus, genetic drift should not occur so that the population can be in genetic equilibrium.

Three organelles found in cells?
Katen [24]

Answer:

1.Plasma membrane

The plasma membrane surrounds the cell to create a barrier between the cytosol and the extracellular matrix. Plasma membranes also enclose lumens of some cellular organelles.

2.Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large network of membranes responsible for the production of proteins, metabolism and transportation of lipids, and detoxification of poisons. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum with separate functions: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. The presence or absence of ribosomes in the ER’s plasma membrane determines whether it is classified as smooth or rough ER.

3.Golgi apparatus

The Golgi apparatus appears as a series of flattened, membranous sacs, or cisternae, that resemble a stack of pancakes just off the rough endoplasmic reticulum. It receives vesicles containing proteins recently produced by the rER. The Golgi apparatus can be compared to a warehouse or post office for newly formed proteins. Here the proteins are further modified, packaged, and sent off to their final destinations in the cell or body.
