Biology

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.

Why is it important for signal transduction systems to trigger a rapid response within a cell and be able to be shut down quickl
lorasvet [3.4K]

-All signal transduction cascades are shut down immediately so as to prevent the cell from mounting a response.

-Cells are unable to respond quickly to hormones, and therefore signal transduction cascades always occur over a long time.

-Cells have to be able to function alone, because they are unable to work together in a coordinated fashion.

-Cells often have to respond very quickly to changes in their internal and external environments.
