Researchers are studying a small island that is home to a unique population of land snails. This population was founded by 10 in

dividuals that floated there on a log, and it has been isolated from the large (10,000 snail) mainland population ever since. The island population grew to 1000 individuals and has stayed consistent for some time. A team of researchers compared the genetic variation of the mainland and the isolated island populations for a few generations after colonization. Are the following four statements true or false?
1) Genetic drift is more pronounced in the island population than the mainland population in these first few generations.
A. True
B. False
2) The biologists observed genetic drift but not evolution.
A. True
B. False
3) The island population likely has more alleles-that is versions of genes-than the mainland population.
A. True
B. False
4) Some harmful traits may have become more common in the island population than the mainland population.
A. True
B. False

In plants, which of the following are produced by meiosis?
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c. Haploid spores.

Explanation:

In the plants, spores are normally unicellular and haploid and produced by the process of meiosis in the sporophytic body of the plant.

These haploid spores undergo the mitotic division and develop a new individual called gametophyte that forms gametes eventually.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. Haploid spores.

The lesser tubercle of the humerus is the distal skeletal attachment site for the
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

It has an anterior and posterior face. The greater tubercle serves as attachment site for three of the rotator cuff muscles – supraspinatus, infraspinatus and teres minor – they attach to superior, middle and inferior facets respectively. The lesser tubercle is much smaller, and more medially located on the bone

Plants do carry out cellular respiration
They use it to convert glucose, a product from photosynthesis, into ATP, the energy carrying molecule

Btw plants and animals carry out cellular respiration
ONLY PLANTS carry out photosynthesis because they make their own food but they still need to convert it into energy
