A) A textbook definition would be that genetic drift is: a random change in allele frequency caused by a series of chance occurences that cause an allele to become more or less common in a population. In layman's terms, this means that genetic drift happens when luck makes the genetic pool of the population to deviate from what is expected.
B) The cause for this genetic drift is the aformentioned couple. Because amish communities are small and they select partners from their community, having even a couple of carriers of alleles in a community can make the allele freuency much larger than expected; for example, if the community was 100 persons, the percentage would be in the order of 1%, still much larger than the general population. Thus, the cause here is that a small population had a couple of carriers.
C) Sexual reproduction leads to a mixing of alleles from both mother and father and helps diversity. When a population is isolated, the gene pool is fixed and no new genes can come in, reducing diversity. Also some people that have an allele might die, hitting diversity even more. Finally, having a small population creates a strong pressure in some circumstances that leads to elimination of some traits and diversity.
Answer:
Yes, meteorology could be useful when studying other planets such as Mercury and Mars; atmospheric science has been extended to the field of planetary science and the study of the atmospheres of the planets of the solar system.
Answer:
5. false 9 percent make up agriculture
6. false the population would be 9.8 billion
7. the current population on earth is 7.7 billion or rounded up is 7 billion
8. 40 percent of earth surface is used for agriculture.
9.The UN Food and Agriculture Organization says one-third of all food is wasted.
10. eating for a healthy planet means eating sustainably. The meaning means what you eat may need to be sustainable because it can be regrown and not be cut off. Also it could mean what you eat wont leave a footprint on the earth.
Answer:
For the production of food for animals.
Explanation:
365,000 acres of land were needed for the production of feed for animals in order to produce beef. Feed such as grasses, berseem, shaftal and maize etc are given to animals because these plants has high protein content which is necessary for the production of meat in animals. If proper feed is not provided to animals so they becomes weak and low in meat which will not fulfill the beef need of a country so proper feed is necessary for the production of high amount of beef.
A: Energy hope this helps
