Which variable is likely to undergo the largest change in value resulting from a mutation that introduces a new allele into a po

Answer:

b. average heterozygosity

Explanation:

From the available options:

a. nucleotide variability

b. average heterozygosity

c. average number of loci

d. geographic variability

Nucleotide variability represents a form of genetic variation that occur as a result of difference in nucleotide sequence of deoxy ribonucleic acid.

The locus is a region on the chromosome where genes are located. Average number of locus thus refers to total number of loci per total number of individuals in a population.

Geographic variability refers to difference in genetic traits across the various geographical distribution of a population.

Average heterozygosity is the percentage or proportion of heterozygous individuals for a trait within a population. It is a common measure of genetic variation in a population.

When a mutation occur within a population and this leads to the introduction of a new allele at a locus for which some individuals within the population are homozygous, it will directly affect the average heterozygosity of the population because more individuals will lose their homozygosity and become heterozygous.

<em>The correct option is b.</em>

Which of the following correctly describes how nerve impulses move throughout the body?
ikadub [295]
The correct options are as follows:
1. ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION THROUGH NEURONS AND CHEMICAL TRANSMISSION BETWEEN NEURONS [D].
Neurons, which are the nerve cells that carry nerve impulses are made up of cell body and dendrites. Electrical events propagate signals within a neuron and chemical processes transmit the signals from one neuron to the other.
2. SENSORY NEURON - BRAIN - SPINAL CORD - MOTOR NEURONS [B].
Waking up from sleep involves sensory neurons. Hearing of a strange sound is made possible by the activity of the brain. The man become alarm as a result of the message to the body from the brain via the spinal cord and running  involves motor neurons.
3. MOTOR NEURONS AND SENSORY NEURONS [A].
The peripheral nervous system is one of the two components of the nervous system and is made up of the nerves and the ganglia outside the brain and the spinal cord. The neurons of the peripheral nervous system is made up of sensory and motor neurons. The sensory neurons bring signals to the central nervous system while the motor neurons carry signals out of the central nervous system.

Compare sickle cell disease and malaria. compare sickle cell disease and malaria. sickle cell disease and malaria are both genet
Luden [163]
The correct answer is the final option - sickle cell disease and malaria are both potentially lethal diseases. 
The other options are incorrect because sickle cell disease is an inherited disease, but malaria is not - it is an infectious disease. However, both of these disease are quite dangerous, and may have severe consequences (such as death) if they are not properly treated.
