The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium law is an important way to check whether natural selection or other evolutionary factors are influencing a particular population.  Through the Hardy-Weinberg equation, we can determine the genetic configuration of a population that is not evolving.  From this analysis, we can compare the data with the actual information of the population and thus understand whether or not there is evolution.

According to Hardy and Weinberg, a population that is not evolving has, from generation to generation, constant frequency of alleles and genotypes. In those cases, where only recombination is observed according to Mendel's laws, we say that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

A population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium when its genotypic and allelic frequencies remain constant. For the equilibrium to occur, the analyzed population must obey some premises. The essential conditions for a population to remain in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

  • Lack of natural selection
  • No mutations
  • No gene flow
  • Large population
  • Same number of males and females in population
  • All couples should be fertile and have the same number of puppies.
  • Occurrence of random intersections.

Answer:

The Hardy-Weinberg law states that in a sufficiently large population, in which matings occur randomly and that is not subject to mutation, selection or migration, gene and genotypic free frequencies are kept constant from one generation to another, once a state of equilibrium has been reached, which in autosomal loci is reached after one generation.

It is said that a population is in equilibrium when the alleles of the polymorphic systems maintain their frequency in the population throughout the generations.

Answer:

towards the inside hyperpolarising the neuron

Explanation:

GABA(gamma amino butyric acid) is an inhibitor neurotransimitter. When it attaches to the post-synaptic segment it causes an influx of anions that makes is harder to generate an action potential.

Put the following in order from least complex(1) to most complex(4). cell, organism, organ, organ system
grigory [225]
Salutations!

<span>Put the following in order from least complex(1) to most complex(4). cell, organism, organ, organ system.

Cell is the basic and the smallest unit of life.

Organ is a wedge of a living thing/ organism that has a function to carry along. A group of organs is called organ system

Organ system is a group of organs working together to carry out the functions along.

Organism is separate living thing that lives through the functions carried along by the organ system.

Lets put the terms in order!

</span>→ 1) Cell
<span>
</span>→ 2) Organ
<span>
</span>→ 3) Organ system
<span>
</span>→ Organism.
