1. Non random mating
                                    In genetic equilibrium individuals must mate at random. However, in many species, individuals select mates based on heritable traits, such as size, strength, or coloration, a practice known as sexual selection.

2. Small population size
                                        Genetic drift does not have major effects on large populations but can affect small populations. Thus evolutionary change due to genetic drift happens more easily in small populations.

<span>3. Immigration or Emigration
                                                 Individuals who join a populations may introduce new alleles into the gene pool. Likewise individuals who leave may remove alleles from the gene pool. Any movement of individuals into (immigration) or out of (emigration) a population can disrupt genetic equilibrium, a process know as gene flow.

4. Mutations
                   Individuals who join a populations may introduce new alleles into the gene pool. Likewise individuals who leave may remove alleles from the gene pool. Any movement of individuals into (immigration) or out of (emigration) a population can disrupt genetic equilibrium, a process know as gene flow.

5. Natural Selection
 if different genotypes have different fitness, genetic equilibrium will be disrupted, and evolution will occur.</span>

Pesticides on foods are stored in body tissues in a process known as
Tom [10]
The Process in which pesticides are stored in body tissues is known as Bio-Accumulation.
When pesticides get into our body through eating food which is not go through the process of metabolism or which is not excreted, that is stored in fatty tissues of the body and as time passes we may build up high concentration of pesticides in our body. Pesticides are the chemical compounds used for killing pests, bacteria etc.

Question 4 (1 point) If 18 grams of oxygen reacts completely with 4 grams of hydrogen, we would expect how many grams of water?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

C.22 grams because mass cannot be created or destroyed

Explanation:

Reaction equation:

        2H₂  +   O₂    →   2 H₂O

Mass of oxygen  = 18g

Mass of hydrogen  = 4g

The mass of water produced is 22g according to law of conservation of mass.

The law states that " in a chemical reaction, mass is always conserved"

 The sum of the mass of product  and reactants must always be the same.
