Genetic drift results in selection for individuals that are better adapted to their environments. True False

Biology
1 answer:
Harlamova29_29 [7]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: False.

Genetic drift is a stochastic process that occurs randomly through time. It refers to random fluctuations in allele frequencies due to chance events (small population size).

Explanation: Factors that can affect genetic diversity are Genetic drift, mutation, selection, migration, non-random mating and recombination.

Of these factors, forces that majorly control the fate of genetic variation in populations are genetic drift and natural selection.

Genetic drift refers to random fluctuations in allele frequencies due to chance events (small population size).

Natural selection involves environmental conditions acting on wild plant or animal populations or species. Most fit in a selection refers to genotype or phenotype with greater average reproductive output over it's lifespan than other genotypes or phenotypes.

Long line fishing, drift nets, and trawling all produce an insignificant amount of by-catch.
kolezko [41]

Long line fishing, drift nets, and trawling all produce an insignificant amount of by-catch is a false statement.

Explanation:

Bycatch fishing is "the incidental capture of non-target species” like sharks, dolphins, seabirds, marine turtles and other marine organisms while applying modern fishing gears like long line fishing, drift nets, or trawling.

Although, these inconspicuous modern fishing gears are highly efficient in catching the desired types of target fishes; these also catch significant amount of other marine species which travel along the line as a bycatch.

A huge number of exclusive marine fishes which are mostly under the endangered list and many juvenile fishes are caught as bycatch which are mostly thrown back dead overboard. Further these modern gears also endanger the marine structures like the coral reefs.

Order the steps through which ATP synthesis occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis in plants. Hydrogen io
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Light-dependent reaction of the photosynthesis takes place in the thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast. It converts solar energy into the chemical energy (ATP and NADPH) which is then utilized in the light-independent reaction to fix carbon into glucose or food.

The correct order of events that take place during light-dependent reaction would be:

Energy from the Sun ejects electrons from chlorophyll and splits water molecules to yield hydrogen ions.

                                                         ↓

Electrons move down the electron transport chain, releasing energy that pumps hydrogen ions into the thylakoid space.

                                                         ↓

The concentration of hydrogen ions in the thylakoid space increases.

                                                         ↓

Hydrogen ions diffuse across the thylakoid membrane into the stroma through ATP synthase.

                                                         ↓

ATP synthase uses the energy released as hydrogen ions move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration to make ATP.
