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.

What is well-tested explanation that brings together many observations in science would include such things as evolution, plate
lara31 [8.8K]

The correct answer is a theory.  

A theory is a rational and contemplative kind of generalizing or abstract thinking or the outcomes of such thinking. On the basis of the context, the outcomes might involve generalized illustrations of how nature functions.  

A theory can be a source of knowledge that may or may not is related to the specific explanatory models. To theorize is to create the body of knowledge.

Which of the following is NOT a negative effect of the way we use science? A. Climate Change B. Damage to the sun C. Pollution D
Kryger [21]

Answer: Option B.

Damage to the sun

Explanation:

Damage to the sun is not a negative way we use science because the sun is very far away from the Earth. The sun is so far away that light from the Sun, traveling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach us. This means that The distance from the sun to the Earth is far and it's difficult for science to have negative effects on the sun. The sun is not easily accessible and sun damage is not easily affected compared to pollution, climate Change, overuse of resources which it's as a result of science negative effect.
