Discuss the influence that population size can have on

Biology
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it does not evolve and allelic frequencies will remain the same for generations.

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: there is no mutation, the mating is random, there is no gene flow, the population size is infinite and there is no selection.

If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population can evolve for that gene (that is, the allelic frequencies of that gene may change).

The mechanisms of evolution are violations of the different Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: mutation, non-random mating, genetic flow, finite population size (gene drift) and natural selection.

When referring to height in terms of genotypes, is there a reason why V and v are used to commonly represent the alleles?
Flura [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Geneticists use letters to represent alleles of different characters.

(Alleles: one of the two or more alleles  of a character.)

A single letter is used to represent both the alleles of a particular character.

A capital letter represents a dominant allele, while a small letter represents a recessive one.

<u>The letters do not just have one standard representation</u>. same letter can be used to represent different characters. However, the letters may relate to the allele. For example: the letter 'B' can be used to represent Brown eyes.

4) Study the wings of the birds in the two images below. Which of the following words applies to only one of the wing structures
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The answer is A) Homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous Structures:

  • Homologous structures are anatomical features in an organism that are structurally and functionally diverse but they originate from a single common ancestor.
  • Homologous structures possess a similar basic internal structure but can have entirely different morphology and function.
  • For example, the wings of a bat and a human's arm have the same internal structure but they have different functions.
  • Vestigial structures are evolutionary remnants that no longer serve a purpose in modern forms or descendants of the original organism.
  • Inherited and developmental are out of context in terms of evolutionary relationships.
