A small island is home to a unique population of land snails. This population was founded by 10 individuals that floated to the

island on a log, and it has been isolated from the large mainland poulation ever since. The mainland population consistently had about 10,000 individuals in it through time. The siland population reached 1000 individulas after several generations, and then stayted at this size through time.
A team of researchers compared the genetic variation of the mainland and the isolated island populations for a few generations after colonization.Would biologist agree or dissagree with the following staments?
The Island population likley has fewer alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.
A- Agree B- Disagree
Genetic drift is more pronounced in the siland population than in the mainlan population in these first few generations
A- Agree B- Disagree
Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than in the mainlain poulation
A- Agree- B- Disagree
Biologist observed genetic drift but not evolution
A- Agree B- Disagree

Answer:

  • The Island population likely has fewer alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.

       A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>

  • Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than in the mainland population in these first few generations

       A- Agree <u>B- Disagree</u>

  • Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than in the mainland population

       <u>A- Agree</u>- B- Disagree

  • Biologist observed genetic drift but not evolution

       <u>A- Agree</u> B- Disagree

Explanation:

If there was genetic drift, then allele frequency either increased or decreased by chance, irrespective of natural selection that is irrespective to weather those alleles helped individuals survive in the island environment. In molecular genetic data, there are statistical signature in the  population variation that indicate weather selection or other processes occurred.

Which statement about the DNA replication process in prokaryotes is true?
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The answer is D. Prokaryotes have one origin of replication but it proceeds in two directions.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process in which in which one parental DNA strand acts as template to synthesize complementary daughter strand. There are specific sequences in DNA from where replication starts. These sequences are called origin of replication. In Eukaryotic cells due to large number of DNA many origins of replication are present. However, in prokaryotic DNA only one origin of replication is present that is bi-directional.

O avoid compromising your car's aerodynamic properties, you should avoid ________.
Len [333]

Answer:

to carry heavy load on the vehicle's outside

Explanation:

Aerodyanmic properties of a car refer to its interactions with moving air and the properties which govern smooth movement of the car through air. Aerodynamics of a car address the concerns like lowering noise emission, prevention of heavy load and avoiding the luggage dragging.

Now when there will be great load outside the car,the air will resist the movement of car more, so it will be difficult for the car to cut through the air. Moreover, when a car carries huge amount of load outside its body, the frictional force by aerodynamic drag increases greatly. This can badly effect the performance of high speed cars like sports cars but for other normal cars it poses less hazards.

Hope it helps!

Why is a food chain a more limited representation of the flow of energy through an ecosystem than a food web?
marissa [1.9K]
B.) A food chain shows only a single pathway of energy.

Remember that food web are made out of lots of food chains combine. Food chain is only one pathway.
