Here are the answers to the given questions above. 
1. Since the Duffy antigen can be found in most individuals residing in Western Africa and that recently, this can be already found in many white European populations, the process the explains this is what we call gene flow. The answer is option A.
2. The physical factors that are considered mostly influences the Antarctic ecosystem are weather, ice, and ocean currents. The answer would be option C. Hope this helps.

Ans.

The Duffy antigen is present in most of the West Africans. It is responsible for resistance in those individuals for malaria. The Duffy antigen trait is transferred into European population from African population as it is beneficial for the populations since it provides resistance against malaria, because of the process of gene flow. Gene flow involves transfer of genetic variations from one to another population.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option A). gene flow.'

Ans.

The Antarctic ecosystem shows the driest, highest, windiest, and coldest ecosystem in the world. The major abiotic (non-living) or physical factors, which influence the ecosystem of Antarctica includes ocean winds, snow, and climatic conditions or weather. Thus, the correct answer is 'option C). weather, ice, and ocean currents.'

Mitosis and meiosis are processes involved in cellular reproduction. Which of the following describes an event that results from
forsale [732]

The event that results from mitosis but not from meiosis is: C) daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.

Mitosis is the process of cell division where a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells. These cells have the same number of chromosomes as that of their parent and that is the reason why the process is also known by the name equational division.

Meiosis is the process where a cell divided into 4 daughter cells and they have half of the total number of chromosomes as that of their parent. Thus is why the process is also called reductional division. Meiosis does not occur in the somatic cells of the body but in the germ cells.
