Although selection operates against deleterious alleles in populations, they are rarely lost from these populations. For example

, most deleterious recessive alleles in population have equilibrium q values slightly above 0. Why might that be?

Answer:

Deleterious alleles appear sporadically in a population

Explanation:

A population with a deleterious allele will have no or few individuals that have the ability to pass along these traits. These alleles appear less in a population because of selective pressure but they are not always absent. The alleles appear less often but are are not always passed on and the others that are genetically fit are able to pass along their genes. The reason the population equilibrium is not zero is because these alleles do appear but they are not necessarily passed along. These individuals may not be able to reproduce or reach the age of reproduction.

Deleterious alleles appear more often, making individuals less fit genetically, i.e. they pass fewer copies of their genes to future generations. Put another way, natural selection purges the deleterious alleles.

Explain how carbon atoms can move from CO2 in the air into an organic molecule inside a plant and then back to CO2 in the air.
ludmilkaskok [199]
As we know that the plants is universal producer.Plant absorb CO2 from atmosphere by the help of photosynthesis from where plant make glucose ,oxygen and energy and then plant exhale O2 but in plants there is another process is going on called respiration which exhale same amount of CO2 as consumed in photosyntesis and in autumn the leaves fall on the soil which on later decomposed and release carbon dioxide this whole  cycle is called carbon cycle !!

which organelle produces sugars while releasing oxygen, and in which cell could it be found? a the golgi apparatus, which can be
spayn [35]

Answer:

The correct answer would be d chloroplasts, which can be found in leaf cells of trees.

Chloroplasts are double-membrane cell organelle usually present in leaf cells of a plant.

They are the site of photosynthesis in plants by which plants convert solar energy into sugars. Oxygen is released as the byproduct of the process.

Light reaction of the photosynthesis takes place in the thylakoid membrane. It produces ATP and NADPH and releases oxygen.

Dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast in which ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon (obtained from carbon dioxide) into sugars (glucose).

The overall reaction is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + solar energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
