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 ASAP Which factor determines the amount of gas that can dissolve in ocean water? (A) the motion of the air above the ocea

Andru [333]

Answer:

The amount of each gas that can dissolve in the ocean depends on the solubility and saturation of the gas in water. Solubility refers to the amount of a dissolved gas that the water can hold under a particular set of conditions, which are usually defined as 0o C and 1 atmosphere of pressure.

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding. Disregarding friction, what is the velo

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$
