Answer:

The correct answer is b. must be present in a population before natural selection can act upon the population

Explanation:

Genetic variation can be caused by mutation, recombination between chromosomes during meiosis and by fusion of two genetically different gametes during sexual reproduction.

This genetic variation is necessary for the evolution of any population. Natural selection acts on every individual and it decreases the frequency of those alleles that are not suited for the environment and increase the frequency of those alleles which helps the individual to survive in the changing environment.

Therefore genetic variation must be present in the population before natural selection act on the.

How does removing trees affect nitrogen cycling in a forest ecosystem? A. After clearcutting, more soil nitrogen was exported vi
mina [271]

Answer:

B. After clearcutting, plant uptake stopped and nitrogen accumulated in the soil.

Explanation: Clear cutting leaves the soil bare and allows for direct penetration of sunlight this increases the soil temperature which favors the activity of soil microrganism. This microrganism activity increase the production of ammonium and nitrate hence the increase in soil Nitrogen level. Clearcutting then allows for accumulation of Nitrogen produce due to removal of plant or forest tree that could use up the Nitrogen produced.

What is the difference between free and attached ribosomes? what is the difference between free and attached ribosomes? free rib
Blizzard [7]

The correct answer is: Free ribosomes are located in the cytoplasm, whereas attached ribosomes are embedded on the endoplasmic reticulum.


<span>Free ribosomes produce proteins which are released into the cytosol and used within the cell. On the other hand, attached (membrane-bound) ribosomes synthesize proteins that are needed within the plasma membrane or are released from the cell. The newly synthesized polypeptide chains are inserted directly into the endoplasmic reticulum by the attached ribosome and are then transported to their destinations where they will be secreted. </span>
