What will most likely happen if the gene frequencies in a given population remain constant?

1 answer:

7 0

When gene frequencies stay relatively constant, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium occurs. HW equilibrium occurs in large populations with random mating, with no migration, mutation, or natural selection. In this case, the proportion of dominant homozygous equals the square of the frequency of the dominant allele (p2), the proportion of recessive homozygous equals the square of the frequency of the recessive allele (q2<span>) and the proportion of heterozygotes equals 2pq.</span>

Bacteria undergo mitosis and meiosis in order to reproduce and increase genetic recombination.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (b)-False

Explanation:

Bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis to reproduce and increase its genetic recombination. To increase their genetic recombination bacteria take the help of horizontal gene transfer through which it gets the genetic material of another bacteria. This new gene helps bacteria to survive in the challenging environment.

Bacteria divide through binary fission in which one cell of bacteria divides into two equal daughter cell each having its genetic material because genetic material of parent cell segregate equally into both the cell.

Therefore bacteria do not undergo meiosis or mitosis.

19. How did the evolution of the jaw contribute to diversification of early vertebrate lineages? A) It allowed for smaller body

Dvinal [7]

The evolution of the jaw contribute to diversification of early vertebrate lineages is It made additional food sources available.

<h3>What is evolution?</h3>

Evolution is the shift in a biological population's heritable traits over successive generations. These traits are the result of genes that are expressed during reproduction and transferred from parent to offspring. Mutation, genetic recombination, and other causes of genetic diversity frequently result in different traits existing within a population. When these variations are subjected to evolutionary processes like natural selection (which includes sexual selection) and genetic drift, specific traits within a population start to become more or less prevalent. This is when evolution happens.

What do cells want to being in and what do cells want to keep out

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Cell membranes serve as barriers and gatekeepers. ... Small polar molecules, such as water and ethanol, can also pass through membranes, but they do so more slowly. On the other hand, cell membranes restrict diffusion of highly charged molecules, such as ions, and large molecules, such as sugars and amino acids.
