hysical anthropologist Eva Hernandez visits a group of Yamomamo people in Venezuela and finds that only 3 individuals in a small

village of 85 people have blood type A. Her grandson, Alberto Hernandez, returns 45 years later and finds that no one in the village has type A blood. Which process of evolution is likely affecting this population?

Answer:

Genetic drift (sampling error)

Explanation:

According to the given information, the population under study has a small size and is more likely to be affected by genetic drift. Genetic drift refers to any chance event that leads to random changes in the allele frequencies of a population over time.

It may occur by sampling error that either makes the allele frequency 100% in the population or completely removes it from the population. Sampling error occurs quickly in the small population. The initial frequency of "blood type A" was 3/85= 0.035. Over the time period of 45 years, sampling error during gamete formation and random fertilization removed all the individuals with "blood type A" from the population and reduced its frequency to 0.

Develop a hypothesis regarding how using contaminated or purified water might affect plant biodiversity. which pot do you believ
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Contaminated water such as polluted water can sometimes cause an explosion of new plant growth by providing necessary nutrients and food and at other times it can kill or harm plants such as by raising or lowering acidity. Plants need at least good levels of potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus for healthy growth and by corollary, biodiversity. I believe that water which contains these elements, even if it be contaminated with the right contaminants will aid in biodiversity by enhancing growth. On the other hand, if there is too much salt, for example in the water it will prevent growth and inhibit photosynthesis.

Select the correct statement(s):
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B <em>Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus</em>

Explanation:

a. The thalamus receives stimulus from all of the five senses (sight, smell, taste, hear, touch). FALSE. Olfactory information is not sent to the thalamus for its process. The rest is.  

b. Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus. TRUE. Among the different types of tonic receptors, we may find baroreceptors, irritation receptors, tactile receptors, and proprioceptors. Tonic receptors characterize by their slow adaptation to the stimulus. The first discharge is maximal when the stimulus is received and then it progressively decreases. They send a continuous signal to the CNS.

c. The three layers that the retina is made of: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, rod cells. FALSE. There are in fact three layers in the retina: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and ganglion cell layers. NOT rod cells.  

d. The sense of smell uses phasic receptors which continuously fire as long as the stimulus is present. FALSE. Olfactive sense uses phasic receptors, but not continuously. These receptors shoot when they receive the stimulus, and then cease if the stimulus keeps constant.
