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

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 producers in the ecosystem produce 25,000,000 kilocalories per year. How much energy is most likely available to the organis
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 25,00,000 Kcal

Explanation:

The transfer of energy in the trophic level is move with each successive level of the trophic level of the pyramid. Energy transfer takes place in a manner that only 10% of the available energy move to the next level and the rest 90% of energy lost as heat and other processes.

So ith producers produce 25000000 Kcal than only 10 % of this will transfer to the next level or the second level of the pyramid

Producer ---->     primary consumer  ----> secondary consumer

100% energy      10% energy of producer     10% of primary consumer

So, the 10% of 25000000  ----->  2500000

Nuclear power plants produce power by ?<br> ________
Nimfa-mama [501]

Nuclear power is a clean and efficient way of boiling water to make steam, which turns turbines to produce electricity. Nuclear power plants use low-enriched uranium fuel to produce electricity through a process called fission—the splitting of uranium atoms in a nuclear reactor.

Some microorganisms have enzymes capable of catalyzing reactions that are difficult or unfeasible by standard industrial chemica
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Metabolic Engineering

Explanation:

Metabolic engineering refers to the process of modifying the genetic and enzymatic processes within cells in order to optimize the output of products. When constraints are noticed in the normal biological process, scientists endeavor to modify the constraints so that wide scale production can be realized.

Examples of processes that incorporate this technique are beer, cheese, wine and some drugs production.
