Answer:

The correct option is (D).Genetic drift is otherwise known as the Sewall Wright effect or allelic drift and is defined as the change in the allelic frequency of a given population that results due to random sampling .

Explanation:

Genetic drift refers to a phenomenon that is characterized by the change in the allelic frequency of a given population. It results in the disappearance of the gene variants that eventually leads to a reduction in the genetic variation. Occurrence of chance phenomena like emigration and immigration and independent selection eventually leads to genetic drift. This leads to the increment in the homozygosity as the changes in the associated allelic frequency does not move in the optimum predefined direction. The major driving forces is the genetic mutation or migration apart from random selection. The increased frequency and the fixation of rare alleles also occur due to genetic drift.

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The sound will reach my ear in a shorter time in Scenario 1.

The speed of sound waves in solids is faster than it is in gases.

Explanation:

The sound which is produce due to hitting of metal bar with a drumstick reaches to the ears in short time because sound is a longitudinal wave which requires or needs medium for its propagation from one place to another and in solids the particles of medium are close to each other as compared to air so the sound travels faster in solid materials as compared liquid and gases and takes less time to reach my ears.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?

Explanation:

Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.

Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.

Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.

Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.
