Answer:

Will never go to fixation.

Explanation:

Mutation is the sudden, heritable change in the genetic sequence of the organisms. The mutation might cause the particular disease in the organisms.

The  gene fitness leads to the increase in the gene frequency in the upcoming generations. The gene will fix in the population when their i no selection and no mutation. Since, the information given in the question states that mutation is acting, so the A allele will never fix in the population.

Thus, the answer is option (c).

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

La pata de un pato y la aleta de un pez son en ambos casos son elementos que les permiten tanto al pato como al pez moverse, además de sus funciones de estabilidad. La aleta de una ballena y el brazo del ser humano, sucede lo mismo que en el caso anterior. En el caso de la aleta de la ballena, es como la aleta del pez. En cuanto al brazo del ser humano permite realizar movimientos que contribuyen al desarrollo de sus funciones, como por ejemplo, agarrar distintos elementos. La pelvis reducida de los cetáceos no tiene actualmente ninguna función.

Explanation:

La pata de un pato es una extremidad que por su estructura le permita nadar perfectamente. En cuanto a la aleta de los peces y ballenas, es una parte de estos animales formada por tejido conjuntivo. Pueden tener distintos tamaños y su principal función no sólo es permitir el movimiento sino también la estabilidad. En cuanto a la pelvis reducida de los cetáceos era algo que tenía sentido en especies de antaño. Durante la evolución, su utilidad de fue perdiendo, como podría mencionarse el ejemplo en los humanos de las muelas de juicio.

Does the stomach only does chemical digestion to break down food?
bonufazy [111]
In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. Peristaltic contractions (mechanical digestion) churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining cells secrete (chemical digestion). As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it's broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that your body can easily absorb. This breakdown is known as chemical digestion.
