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>

Give an example (except for a plant responding to light) of an organism's response to a stimulus.
kolezko [41]

Answer:

plants For example, phototropism is the plant's response to stimulus, i.e. sunlight. A plant hormone “auxin” keeps the plant's direction towards the sun by activating the growth in a particular part of a stem. Similarly, gravitropism in plants responds to the stimulus, i.e. gravity

Production of energy using water power

Using electricity or energy-saving products, creation of technology to capture sulfur dioxide are the processes that can be taken into account.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Acid rain is a very serious issue in the urban areas now a days. Acid rain forms due to the excessive production of gases like sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides etc which are beyond the level of absorption by the environment. This gases go up in the atmosphere and they mixes with cloud water to form corresponding sulphuric acid and nitric acid. These acids come along the rain and decrease the pH of the water bodies as well as soil.

If we start using water as the source of our energy production, then we can eliminate the use of coal and other fossil fuels which are chief sources of these gases.

If we can grow some technology to capture these gases before they are released into the environment, then also there will be less problems. Technologies like alkali bath are not so operative in large scales.

We can use electricity in boilers and other places where still, fossil fuels are brunt to produce the heat so that sulphur oxides don't come out.
