Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have bro

wn eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes.
After several generations, 35 percent of the island population is found to have AB+ blood. This is much higher than the percentage of AB+ people in the populations from which the original settlers came. The high percentage of AB+ blood is probably due to:

Answer:

founder effect

Explanation:

When a few individuals from a population migrate to some new habitat and start a new population, the gene pool of the new population may not have the same allele frequencies as that of the original population. This change in the allele frequency of the new population is called the founder effect. In the given population, the increased frequency of the AB+ phenotype might have resulted from the founder effect. This is a chance event that occurs when a few individuals with a small fraction of genetic variations found a new population.

Imagine you are at the top of a mountain looking down. As you hike from the highest elevation to the lowest elevation, you find
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The mode of speciation exhibited by these mice might follow the allopatric or peripatric pattern in that since these mice are in some ways related as stated, it is possible species C has become isolated from a peripheral population (in this case a peripatric speciation) due to maybe some geographical changes (allopatric speciation in general) as seen in vegetation changes at each elevation level and also no gene flow occurs between these population. And this depends on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original population. If large, it might be mainly by genetic drift.

Marge suffered a stroke in the underside of the right temporal lobe. Which brain function is likely to be affected?
FrozenT [24]

Answer;

-Facial Recognition

Explanation;

-The temporal lobe is located behind your ears and extends to both sides of the brain.

-The temporal lobe is involved in primary auditory perception, such as hearing, and holds the primary auditory cortex. The primary auditory cortex receives sensory information from the ears and secondary areas process the information into meaningful units such as speech and words.

The heating curve of an ice-water mixture that is slowly heated to 125°C contains three sloped and two level portions. What do t
scZoUnD [109]
The 2 level portion in the graph represents the changing of state.

Every substance has internal energy, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy means the temperature, and the potential energy means the bondings or attractions.

When a substance is heated up, they first increase their temperature as the same state. For example, the ice starts at - 5 °C, they won't start melting immediately as they're not at their melting point yet. Instead, they first absorb heat and increase their temperature to 0°C. This is same for when water increase their temperature until their boiling point. Their kinetic energy is increasing, but potential energy is unchanged as they stay at the same state. That's why the slope is increasing.

However, but once the ice or water has reached their melting or boiling point, they have to go through a state change. During that time, they do not increase their temperature (K.E. unchanged) . Instead, the heat they absorbed is used to increase the potential energy to break the bonds and turn into another state. The heat absorbed is called latent heat.

This explains why in the graph, there's 2 level portions, as the substance is going through a state change and increasing their potential energy instead of their kinetic energy (temperature)
