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.

The circulatory system consists of three independent systems that work together: the heart (cardiovascular), lungs (pulmonary), and arteries, veins, coronary and portal vessels (systemic). The system is responsible for the flow of blood, nutrients, oxygen and other gases, and as well as hormones to and from cells.

Natalka [10]

The correct option for this question is as follows:

a) they are made of many cells

b) they are made of one or more cells

c) they come from the same kind of cell

d) they come from noncellular structures

Answer:

The correct answer is - option b. they are made of one or more cells

Explanation:

The cell theory has three major parts that are; the cell is the basic and physiological unit of the organism, all living organisms are made up of one or more cells, new cells come from the pre-existing cells.

On the basis of the cell theory, we can say that all organisms including the cheetah that is a multicellular organism or paramecium a single-celled organism, are made up of one or more cells.

In the cell cycle which phase follows S phase, or DNA replication ?
ella [17]
Interphase

Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.
