The smaller a population, the greater the potential effect of genetic drift on gene frequencies.
Genetic drift is an evolutionary term which refers to the random changes in a population's allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance due to the random selection of alleles from the genetic pool in each generation. Genetic drift can lead to either loss of some alleles or the fixation of others (100% frequency). The effect of genetic drift is stronger in smaller populations. This is because, the larger the population, the larger the sample size and the slower the result of genetic drift.
The best way to solve a transportation problem, is to give the following information:
m= The number of sources.
n= The number of destinations.
The total quantity available at each source.
The total quantity required at each destination.
The cost of transportation of one unit of the commodity from each source to each destination.
Answer:
Domains
Explanation:
All Biological organism can be classified or placed in a group.
Taxonomy is a branch of science that deals with naming and classification of biological organism based on shared characteristics.
In taxonomy, a domain is the highest order of classification or ranking ,its even higher than the kingdoms.
It is inclusive of all biological grouping.
All cellular organisms can be placed in any of the three domains namely, Bacteria, Archaea and the Eukarya.
3. It's because of the heat underneath the crust of the Earth. Because heat rises, the molten rock and such underneath the crust rises to the top and then the movement underneath causes things on top to move.
4. Plates are the different sections that the lithosphere has been cracked into. These plates once all fit together as a giant plate called Pangaea.
5. An earthquake is a sudden, sometimes violent shaking of the ground, as a result of the shifting of tectonic plates, or volcanic eruption.
6. On the magnitude scale, earthquakes range from 2.5 or less (usually never felt but strong enough to be detected by seismograph) to 8.0 or higher. Causes extreme damage; enough to destroy whole cities at once if close enough to the epicenter.
7. Depends on what kind you're looking for. I'd look it up for your specific topic.
8. To apply a forces to something, usually resulting in a stretch.
9. The action of compressing something, to flatten or squeeze by pressure
10. A strain on the layers of something because of pressure, resulting in the shifting of those layers.
11. In areas undergoing extension or stretching. It's when the crust is extended.
12. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.
13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)
14.
B. answer is correct. HIV that causes AIDS has RNA instead of DNA.
HIV is actually a retro-virus.
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic, potentially life-threatening condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By damaging your immune system, HIV interferes with your body's ability to fight the organisms that cause disease. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lenti-virus (a subgroup of retrovirus) that causes HIV infection and over time acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
