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.

In some areas of Florida, manatees gather near spring waters during cold weather because the temperature of the springs is alway
Alexxx [7]
From the data, the manatee population obviously increased after the regulations went into affect  and the deaths due to watercraft reduced from 25 to 8 after the regulations were put into effect. The population increased by 165% from 1980=-2010 and the drop in deaths due to watercraft decreased by 
68%.So this is not a direct correlation but at least it shows that the watercraft deaths decreased significantly. Since the population increased at a greater rate then it may be that more females were spared so could mate and give birth to that many more manatees.

Describe how hydrogen bonds relate to surface tension.
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds provide higher surface tension to a liquid. If you disrupt hydrogen bonds, surface tension will decrease. That's why at high temperature, surface tension is lower due to disruption of hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds can be disrupted by the addition of surfactants and surface tension can be reduced also. Detergent is a surfactant because it  interferes with the attractive forces between the water molecules.
