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

Based on the information in the table, which of the following changes is least likely to produce a phenotypic
yaroslaw [1]

GAU to GAC​ is least likely to change phenotype of an organism.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Phenotype of an organism is defined as the physical characteristics of an organism. This phenotype is dependent on the genotype of the organisms. This means the phenotypic characters are actually the expressions of the genes of the organisms. Now the genes are expressed in form of codons that are the three nitrogen base sequences. Each codon codes for a particular amino acid which in turn polymerises to from the protein which actually forms the phenotype of the organism.

Now there are 20 amino acids and 64 codons. Thus there are more than 1 codons for a single amino acid. So, if a codon is replaced by another codon which codes for same amino acid, then the phenotype is least likely to be affected.

Both the GAU and  GAC​ codes for aspartic acid. So the phenotype won't be affected much by this mutation

What is a carrying capacity? Please explain in two or more sentences.
Mademuasel [1]

Hello!

Carrying capacity, in biology, is the mps (maximum population size) of the species that the environment is able to take care of.  The environment should be able to give food, habitat, and water, and other necessities needed for the certain animal species. If there are to many of the species, the environment may not be able to care for all animals, due to the fact that there will not be enough resources for all of the animals.

Hope this helps, have an awesome day/night! :)
