lands and swamps of the Southest portion of Florida with no changes. How will genetic drift probably affect this population?
a
It will reduce genetic diversity
b
It will accelerate the appearance of new traits?
c
It will promote the survival of panthers with beneficial traits.
d
It will increase the number of alleles for specific traits.

The correct answer is - a. It will reduce genetic diversity.

The pumas that live in Florida, also known as the Florida Panthers, will have a much reduced genetic diversity. The reason for this is that the population is very small. It also lives in the same area, where the living conditions are the same. The genetic pool is very small, and the breeding is going on between individuals that have the same traits, and are also relatively closely related, as the mating occurs between the second or third generation that came out form the same parents. That will result in a very reduced genetic diversity, so the Florida Panther will remain the same if the conditions do not change drastically, or these an invasion of pumas from the west into their territory.

If phosphofructokinase experienced a mutation that interfered with substrate binding, then what other enzyme is going to be most
frozen [14]

Answer: Aldolase

Explanation:

In the metabolism of glucose( glycolysis) phosphofructokinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversation of fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This in turn is converted to pyruvate after various steps of enzymatic activity in the glycolytic pathway.

If phosphofructokinase experienced a mutation that interfered with substrate binding, the enzyme that is going to be most immediately impacted in terms of accessing substrate is the ALDOLASE.

Aldolase enzymes cleave fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to triose phosphates( glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxy-acetone phosphate) facilitating an increase in anaerobic production of ATP in muscle.

Therefore, the substrate for binding of aldolase, which is fructose-1,6-bisphosphate is lacking due to mutation of phosphofructokinase enzyme.

How does the structure of water contribute to its unique properties
frutty [35]

So basically water is a polar molicule. So when it comes to the structure, water is able to form many hydrogen bonds and the way the atoms are able to bond together adds to the water's special properties.

Would white fur color be an evolutionary advantage if the arctic circle began to resemble a temperate forest biome?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

White fur is only an evolutionary advantage if the creature can hide in snow.

If you live in a temperate forest biome and want to hide from enemies, you wouldn't want fur that sticks out brightly against the dark forest.

Just like, if you lived in a snowy biome, you wouldn't want black fur that would stick out against all the snow.

So no, white fur is not an evolutionary advantage in a temperate forest biome

Hope this helps!
