The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.
1 Answer. Mandira P. With the discovery of electron microscope, biologists realised that it did not make any sense to include prokaryotic world of bacteria in kingdom protista with single celled eukaryotic organisms. Hence a separate kingdom, Monera, was created.
This layer is called the cell wall.
The cell wall is located outside the cell membrane and provides the cells with structural support and protection. It gives cells rigidity and strength, offering protection against mechanical stress.
In most cells, it is flexible, meaning that it will bend rather than hold a fixed shape, but has a lot of tensile strength which is necessary to be able to withstand internal osmotic pressure.
Cell walls are found in plants, bacteria, fungi, algae and some archaea.
Answer: Correct options are A, C and D
A. a forest because it has more trees to provide plant litter
C. a forest because it has more animals to mix the soil
D. a forest because the trees prevent rain from reaching the soil
Explanation:
Humus simply refers to organic matter, and the quantity of organic matter in a habitat depends on the extent of life activities done there.
Deserts, unlike forests have minimal life activities (as few plants and animals thrive in it). Thus, forests have more humus than deserts.
The cell membrane is made up of a phospholipids that are arranged into two layers which are called lipid bilayer.
