Mutations are changes in the DNA..... A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, evolutionary change is based on the accumulation of many mutations. <span>movement of genes from one population to another and is an important source of genetic </span>variation

Various types of plants use different strategies to optimally photosynthesize. A common strategy for plants on the forest floor
EastWind [94]

Answer:

light

Explanation:

The factor of photosynthesis that is maximized by the production of large, thin leaves that span over large areas is light.

<em>Light in the forest floor is limited due to the shade provided by the overstorey layers of the forest. As such, light becomes a limiting factor for photosynthesis for forest floor dwelling plants. In order to overcome this challenge, forest plants increase their leaf surface areas and thickness so as to increase light-gathering efficiency. </em>

6. explain the relationship between temperature and pressure. why do you think this occurs?​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to the temperature at a given amount of volume. When the temperature of a system goes up, the pressure also goes up, and vice versa.

This occurs because of the pressure temperature law. (or also known as the Gay-Lussac's law)

Discuss the influence that population size can have on
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene, it does not evolve and allelic frequencies will remain the same for generations.

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: there is no mutation, the mating is random, there is no gene flow, the population size is infinite and there is no selection.

If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population can evolve for that gene (that is, the allelic frequencies of that gene may change).

The mechanisms of evolution are violations of the different Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: mutation, non-random mating, genetic flow, finite population size (gene drift) and natural selection.
