Imagine a huge population with a gene that has ten functionally equivalent, neutral alleles. A small but genetically representat

ive group of individuals from the big population is transported to an island, forming a small population. Which of the statements below best describes what will likely happen over time, and why? a. Because natural selection doesn't act on neutral alleles, the frequencies in the two populations should remain the same over time. b. Genetic drift will cause one allele to first become fixed in the island population, and later to become fixed in the original, large population. c. Genetic drift will result in the allele frequencies of the two populations diverging over time, with alleles being lost sooner in the island population. d. The allele frequencies of the two populations will change similarly due to a combination of genetic drift natural selection.

Answer:

I think your answer is wrong. The right answer is D. Nucleus & Ribosome.

Explanation:

A process that takes place in the cells of all living things: the production of proteins. This process is called protein synthesis, and it actually consists of two processes — transcription and translation. During translation, the genetic code in mRNA is read and used to make a protein. These two processes are summed up by the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA → RNA → Protein. In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus. During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). The molecule of mRNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.

The nucleus contains the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of ribosomes and proteins. Typically, the nucleus is the most prominent organelle in a cell. Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus, which means the cell’s DNA is surrounded by a membrane. Therefore, the nucleus houses the cell’s DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes, the cellular organelles responsible for protein synthesis.

What is the best description of what viruses are made of?
Mazyrski [523]

The answer is C.

A virus is made up of or consists of a nucleic acid in varying quantity which may either be RNA or DNA.

The nucleic acid is surrounded by a protein shell called a capsid. The word capsid comes from the Latin word  capsa which means box.The capsid and the nucleic acid within it are together referred to as nucleoprotein.The  capsid is made up of small sub units called capsomeres.

In many viruses, the nucleoprotein makes up the whole virus. More complex viruses have one or more further enclosing structures also made mostly of protein. These structures are referred to as envelopes and each envelop is specific to a particular virus.
