What is the best reason for the scientific community to accept a theory? The theory is supported by all the available observatio

ns and data. An award-winning scientist proposed the theory. The majority of the general public agrees with the theory. The theory contradicts an older theory.

Answer:

The theory is supported by all the available observations and data.

Explanation:

The scientific community will accept a theory when a sufficient body of evidence supports it. This includes experiments that refute other potential theories. Experiments should also be carried out that attempt to disprove the theory but cannot.

It should not matter who proposed the theory or who supports it, and instead should entirely be based on the quality and abundance of data supporting it.

The extinction vortex represents the idea that even if an organism is extant, it may have a gene pool that will not support its

NISA [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Extinction vortex is a model used by scientists to understand extinction dynamics within a community. This model allows scientists to assess and understand how a population can become highly vulnerable to elements of its habitat, becoming increasingly apt for extinction. According to this model, any organism is capable of extinction, as all are susceptible to having a gene pool that will not allow its survival, regardless of the environment.

50 POINTS! Please Help! 2-3 Sentences Per Question!

andrezito [222]

Well for the very last sentence it would be if any of the organs shut down it could seriously hurt someone or possibly even kill them if their brain,heart or some other important organ shuts down it could kill them.
There are other minor organs where if it shuts down it wouldn't really hurt the person too much. Sorry I couldn't help you with the other ones though.

14). During the early 1700’s, a small group of pacifist Protestants fled Germany to avoid religious persecution. This group, the

A) In the Dunker population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.3 and the frequency of i allele is 0.4. In the general population, the frequency of IB allele is 0.1 and t<span>he frequency of i allele is 0.5.
</span>
If:
$I^{A}$ - <span>the frequency of IA allele
</span> $I^{B}$ - <span>the frequency of IB allele
</span> $i$ - t<span>he frequency of i allele

Then:
</span> $I^{A} I^{A}$ + <span> $I^{A} i$ - the frequency of individuals with A blood type
</span> $I^{B} I^{B}$ + <span> $I^{B} i$ - the frequency of individuals with B blood type
</span> $ii$ <span>- the frequency of individuals with O blood type
</span>
Let's first take a look on the Dunker population:
$I^{A} = 0.3$
$ii=0.16
$

<span>Since there is only one possible genotype for O individuals - ii - the frequency of the allele i is square root of the frequency of O individuals:
</span> $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.16}$
⇒ $i=0.4$

Now, we have the frequencies of two alleles ( $I^{A}$ and $i$ ). To calculate the frequency of $I^{B}$ <span> allele, we will use the formula:
</span> $I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.3-0.4$
⇒ $I^{B} = 0.3$

Now, in the general population:
$I^{A} = 0.4$
$ii=0.25$

<span>Similarly to the work for the Dunker population:
</span> $i= \sqrt{ii}$
⇒ $i = \sqrt{0.25}$
⇒ $i=0.5$

$I^{A} + I^{B} + i = 1$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1- I^{A} - i$
⇒ $I^{B} = 1-0.4-0.5$
<span>⇒ $I^{B} = 0.1$
</span>

b) A founder effect is a result of geographical separation of a few individuals from the original population. Those founding individuals will form a new population. The Dunker population was not only geographically separated, but also genetically. The group interbreeding was present resulting in increasing those allele frequencies that were the most common in the founding population. In this case, the most individuals from the founding population had B blood type.
