The bottleneck effect is used to describe an event where a population decreases. One example involves the northern elephant seal

. They have a reduced genetic variation due to a population bottleneck humans inflicted on them in the 1890s. Hunting reduced their population size to as few as 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Their population has since rebounded to over 30,000, but they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted. Which phrase best explains this change if gene frequency?

Genetic drift  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the best phrase to describe this would be Founder effects. Founder effects occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population. This small population size means that the colony may have; a non-random sample of genes in the original population. Reduced variation from the original population.. According to Bottlenecks and founder effects, genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations.

What is an important structural molecule of cell membrane..?
guajiro [1.7K]
Most important and abundant one are the phospholipids - amphiphatic molecules with an hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails. They compose the membrane bilayer. Also important are the membrane proteins, which can be periheric and internal and can serve as channels, receptors, pumps etc. 
Depending on the cell type the membrane can also contain cholesterol (in animal cells, enhances the membrane stability) or hopanes(in prokaryotes, same function as cholesterol) or ether-phospholipids with branched hydroharbon tails(in archaea, make the membranes more stable and resistant to severe conditions, as archaeas are extremophiles)

Answer:

They would be the enzymes that assimilate the presence of Q to generate a metabolism that encourages growth.

And also those that are X-forming, which is what is always present in cells.

Explanation:

Therefore, all the enzymes that assimilate the amino acid Q continue to function.

In simple words, in this situation, amino acid Q went from being a non-essential amino acid (because it was manufactured in-house) to being an essential amino acid (which, if or if, must be administered by the medium due to lack of own production in order to generate growth) .

Which of the above molecules would be least soluble in water?<br><br>(See attached image)​
weqwewe [10]

C

Explanation:

Molecule C would be least soluble in water because it is not a polar compound/molecule. It also lacks any unit that can combine with water to form a good hydrogen bond.

  • The general rule of solubility is that like dissolves likes.
  • Polar molecules will only dissolve in polar solvent.
  • Water is a polar solvent with hydrogen bonds in them.
  • Hydrocarbons typically have weak london dispersion forces between them and they are not polar.
  • Other compounds have functional groups that can form hydrogen bond with water.
