Some of the conditions that must be met for a population or an allele to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

1. The population must be very large.

2. There must be no migration and population must be isolated.

3. There must be no mutations.

4. There must be random mating, which means there are no mating preferences.


So, a population will not be at Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium if it is small, or there are mutations, which is not mentioned, but mutations are expected to occur. Also, although there is a large mountain, skunks can migrate to some other area of a woodland. So, probable mutations and migrations suggest that the population is not at <span>Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.</span>

What characteristic is shared by both inceptisols and entisols, the soils of flood plains?
marysya [2.9K]

<u>Answer</u>:

"Both are young and only beginning to develop horizons and a soil profile"is the characteristic  shared by both inceptisols and entisols, the soils of flood plains

<u>Explanation</u>:

Inceptisols and entisols are the soils that are seen in the floodplains. These soils are very weakly withered and also lacks organic matter. They are the sediments that comes from several other places through flood. The soil order of inceptisols in USDA in the soil taxonomy because they have the capability to form by the change of parent material. Also they are known to be more developed than that of entisols. Presence of clay, iron oxide, aluminium oxide and organic matters are also not found. But the entisols can not be changed from that of parent material. They are either rock or sediments.

cricket20 [7]
Duyen has Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B contaminates in excess of 300 million individuals worldwide and is a typical reason for a liver ailment and liver tumor. HBV, an individual from the Hepadnaviridae family, is a little DNA infection with uncommon highlights like retroviruses. 
At the point when the viral DNA polymerase is utilized to interpret RNA to DNA, it is going about as a switch transcriptase like that found in retroviruses. Actually, Hepatitis B infection's DNA polymerase and retroviral turn around transcriptase are fundamentally the same as and may have developed from a typical progenitor.
