The evolution of populations due to chance is

Biology
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago

Answer:

D). genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the change in an allele frequency over a period of time. This event has to be random and a chance event.

For example: In a population of a flowering plant there are two types of flowers, blue and yellow. Due to a fire many yellow flowers are destroyed by chance. Now the resultant population will have more blue flowers and when they reproduce the population will eventually evolve to have more blue flowers. Effect of genetic variation is more pronounced in a small population since its easy to disturb the allele frequency.

Softa [21]

Answer:

Mutualism

Explanation:

Organisms in an ecosystem interact with one another from time to time. The close interaction between two organisms is referred to as SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis is of different types depending on the how it affects the involved organisms. The example in this question depicts MUTUALISM.

Mutualism is the type of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which both organisms benefit from the relationship. This is the case of the LICHEN, which involves the Algae and Fungi. The algae benefits by making use of the water and minerals supplied by the fungi while the fungi benefits by using the food the algae produces via photosynthesis.

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Inte
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg. The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

Explanation:

  • Data:

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg

Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg

Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg

  • Formula Applied :

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient

Hydrostatic pressure gradient = Capillary hydrostatic pressure - Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 30mmHg - 0 mmHg = 30 mmHg

Oncotic pressure gradient =  Capillary colloid osmotic pressure - Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure =25  - 2 = 23 mmHg

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient = 30 mmHg - 23 mmHg = 7 mmHg.

Hence, The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

Furkat [3]

I believe the answer is The spindle fibers  

Microtubule will form the spindle fibers that will grab the chromosome. The formation of microtubule will be start from prophase and it will have role in moving the chromosome through the metaphase and anaphase. If the substance disrupting the formation of microtubules, then spindle fibers will not be formed.
