How does genetic drift affect small populations differently than large populations?

Physics
1 answer:
dalvyx [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer/ Explanation:

In small populations, the relative effect of genetic drift is higher because deleterious alleles can become more frequent by chance, and less common alleles have a greater chance of being permanently lost. This reduces the genetic variation in the population.

Large populations are less likely to change quickly as a result of genetic drift, this is due to chance

Answer:

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

Explanation:

It would have been easier with the drawing. This problem is a projectile launching exercise, as they give us data after the window passes and the wall collides, let's calculate with this data the speeds at the point of contact with the window.

X axis

           x = Vox t

           t = x / vox

           t = 7.1 / 340

           t = 2.09 10-2 s

In this same time the height of the window fell

           Y = Voy t - ½ g t²

Let's calculate the initial vertical speed, this speed is in the window

           Voy = (Y + ½ g t²) / t

           Voy = [0.6 + ½ 9.8 (2.09 10⁻²)²] /2.09 10⁻² = 0.579 / 0.0209

            Voy = 27.7 m / s

We already have the speed at the point of contact with the window. Now let's calculate the distance (D) and height (H) to the launch point, for this we calculate the time it takes to get from the launch point to the window; at this point the vertical speed is Vy2 = 27.7 m / s

             Vy = Voy - gt₂

             Vy = 0 -g t₂

             t₂ = Vy / g

             t₂ = 27.7 / 9.8

             t₂ = 2.83 s

This is the time it also takes to travel the horizontal and vertical distance

            X = Vox t₂

            D = 340 2.83

            D = 962.2 m

           

            Y = Voy₂– ½ g t₂²

            Y = 0 - ½ g t2

            H = Y = - ½ 9.8 2.83 2

            H = 39.2 m

The launching point is at a distance D = 962.2m and H = 39.2m

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

A 40.0 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 18.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incl
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

7.9m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of wagon=40 kg

\theta=18.5^{\circ}

Tension=140 N

Initial velocity of wagon=u=0

Displacement=s=80 m

Net force applied  on wagon=F=T-mgsin\theta=140-40(9.8)sin18.5=15.7 N

By using g=9.8m/s^2

a=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{15.7}{40}=0.39m/s^2

We know that

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

v^2=2\times 0.39\times 80

v=\sqrt{2\times 0.39\times 80}=7.9m/s

Is it possible for one energy store to transfer into another energy store ?Explained answer
liraira [26]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Energy can be transferred from one object to another or between energy stores within the same object. For example on a pool table when white ball hits another ball energy is transferred from the kinetic store of the white ball to the kinetic store of the other ball.
