Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Modern Synthesis is also called the Neo-Darwinian theory as it explains the fusion of Mendelian genetics with Darwinian evolution into a singular theory of evolution. It is sometimes referred to as the Neo-Darwinian theory.

It refers to evolution as "changes in allele frequencies within populations," in order to explain the genetic basis of evolution. The random genetic drift, gene flow, mutation pressure, and natural selection are seen to cause changes in allele frequencies. Resulting in several differences that can be seen gradually over a particular period in time.

In the Modern Synthesis, mechanisms of evolution and not natural selection takes a major role and it explains the continuance of genetic variation going along with Gregor Mendel's particulate theory of inheritance, where the alleles of a gene remain as individual entities rather than merging.

The major key players of the Modern Synthesis are R. A. Fisher and Sewall Wright (worked on population genetics), Theodosius Dobzhansky (studied the fruitfly Drosophila), Ernst Mayr (models of how speciation occurs), George Gaylord Simpson (introduced paleontological observations into Modern Synthesis) and G. Ledyard Stebbins (added some principles as a result of his botanical studies).

Why is it so important to properly don and remove personal protective equipment?
artcher [175]
<span>Personal protective equipment is only helpful if regulations for using it are followed carefully. If it is not worn and used properly, then it will not function properly and it might not provide the protection that is needed in the situation. For example, a helmet is only effective if it is fitted properly and snugly on the head. Otherwise it could fall off in an accident and be rendered useless.</span>

Compare parasympathetic nervous system vs sympathetic
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system effects are slow or inhibit function, where is sympathetic, is responsible for the intense physical activity.

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system or ANS is divided into 2 distinct systems on the basis of their effects- the parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system.

Both of these have opposite actions on the functions that they maintain.

The sympathetic nervous system regulates the body for a high level of physical activity and also known as fight or flight. It fasts the functions of the body according to the situation.

The parasympathetic nervous system is having the opposite effect of the sympathetic nervous system slows high energy functions and relaxes the body.  

Thus, the comparison of these nervous systems is mention above.

IceJOKER [234]
  <span>Neutral mutations are neither harmful nor beneficial. 

Therefore, they are invisible to natural selection. (Since they neither improve nor worsen one individual's chances of survival and reproduction over another.) 

However neutral mutations can still spread into the population by just random replications and matings. This is called genetic drift. 

In other words, they are 'silent'. They are mutations that exist and propagate in populations, but seem to have no effect at all. 

The reason they can become important to evolution is that a day can come when they *do* have an effect. In other words, even though an individual mutation may have no immediate effect on survival or reproduction, a *combination* of neutral mutations may provide some new benefit or harm ... at which point natural selection *will* act on that combination.
