Explain the idea of genetic drift. How does natural selection effect genetic drift.

Biology
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
3 0

Genetic drift is defined as a shift in the allelic frequency of a population. This can be caused by natural selection which is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals across a population due to differences in phenotype. Natural selection favors particular traits in a population hence these individuals are able to reproduce while the individuals with disadvantageous traits will pass their genes to succeeding generations. This way the allelic frequency of succeeding generation will be diferent from that of the parent population.

7. Explain why we have 4 seasons.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The four seasons happen because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. At different times of the year, the sun's rays hit different parts of the globe more directly. The angle of the Earth's axis tilts the Northern Hemisphere towards the sun during the summer.

Solid sodium reacts with liquid water to form hydrogen gas according to the equation 2 Na(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → 2 NaOH(aq) + H₂(g) Wha
lana66690 [7]

Answer: 21850.42mmHg or 28.78atm

Explanation: From the equation of the reaction, 2 moles of sodium reacts with 2 moles of water to produce 2 moles of NaoH and 1 mole of hydrogen gas at s.t.p.

molar volume of gas at s.t.p. = 22.4dm^3,

standard temperature = 0°C or 273K,

standard pressure = 760mmHg or 1atm,

molar mass of Na = 23g;

volume of the container= 20L or 20dm^3

From the equation, 2 moles or 46g of Na produces i mole or 22.4 dm^3 of hydrogen.

Therefore, 1kg or 1000g of Na will produce 22.4 * 1000/(46)= 486dm^3 of hydrogen.

To find the pressure of the gas produced, the formula P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1= 760mmHg, T1= 273K, V1 (initial volume of gas)= 486dm^3, T2=50.0°C or 50+273K= 323K, V2( final volume of gas= volume of vessel)=20dm^3  P2=?

P1= P1V1*T2/(V2T1)= 760mmHg * 323/(273)= 21850.42mmHg or 1atm*21850.42/760= 28.78atm
