Answer:
The correct answer is: Genetic Drift.
Explanation:
- In any population of any species having two or more alleles encoding for different genes, the frequency of occurrence of each allele among the individuals of a population can vary.
- The frequency of one allele may be far more or far less than the frequency of other alleles.
- The frequency of any particular allele is dependent on factors like random mating among individuals as well as natural selection, that tends to increase the frequency of those alleles which provide a survival advantage to the individual in a given environment.
- Genetic drift can be defined as a phenomenon due to which the frequency of an allele encoding for a particular gene undergoes drastic change (increase or decrease) in a population due to random mating as well as natural selection.
- In the given statement, one individual of an isolated population of piranhas underwent synonymous mutation in the beta-globin encoding gene.
- A synonymous mutation can be defined as such a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene that does not affect the sequence, structure or function of the protein encoded by it.
- The increase in the frequency of the mutated form of the beta-globin gene after five generations to 5% indicates that due to the impact of random mating or natural selection or both, this has happened.
Answer:
Considering the boys' situation, the boys live in the rural areas of one of the western United States, e.g. California.
Explanation:
Hantavirus is spread by rodents and is most common in rural areas of the western United States during the spring and summer months. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome also occurs in South America (especially in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, and Bolivia). Hantavirus cases have also occurred in Canada and some parts of Asia, where they reportedly caused kidney disorders rather than lung problems.
Answer:
Kepler's third law relates the semi-major axis of the orbit to its sidereal period. The major axis is the total length of the long axis of the elliptical orbit (from perihelion to aphelion).
Explanation:
A and C
Answer: Spectrin Protein Is a major component of the cortex in RBCs. mutations in this protein develop a from of anemia that can cause to RBCs to develop a flatened shape, making them extremely fragile.
Hypothesis are guesses based on scientific knowledge. Theories are systems of ideas intended to explain something.
