Changes in the gene pool can occur due to various mechanisms. From 1892 to 1954, millions of individuals emigrated (moved out) f

rom countries across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. Many of these individuals entered through Ellis Island, a federal immigration station in New York. Which mechanism affected the gene pool of the immigrants that entered the United States through Ellis Island?

The correct answer for this mechanism is gene flow: gene flow is the mechanism of a change in the gene composition in a population as a result of migration.

The migration from other countries into the Us was an example of a large-scale migration, so it resulted in a gene flow.

The mechanism that affected the gene pool of the immigrants that entered the United states Through Ellis Island is Gene flow.

Gene flow involves the movement of genes or alleles between interbreeding populations of a particular species. In other words it is the movement of genes from one population to another population. Actually it may be an important aspect of evolution; evolution can occur as a result of genes being transferred from one population to another. Gene flow occurs when there is migration, since the loss or addition of people can easily change pool frequencies even without no other evolutionary mechanisms operating.

What is Cytosine? Where is it located in the DNA? Who is it paired with? What is the role of Cytosine?
Natalija [7]
One of the 4 nucleic acid bases. They connect the two strands of the DNA double strand by means of hydrogen bonds, the principle of so-called complementarity of bases. derived from pyrimidine. It is part of nucleic acids, where it forms a complementary pair with guanine using three hydrogen bonds.

What sort of information can you get from a body fossil that you can't get from a trace fossil?​
den301095 [7]

Trace fossils include footprints, trails, burrows, feeding marks, and resting marks. Trace fossils provide information about the organism that is not revealed by body fossils. Trace fossils are formed when an organism makes a mark in mud or sand.

Three different alleles (c1, c2, and c3) at the c locus exist in a hypothetical population of juniper trees. If the frequency of
prisoha [69]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

When considering the frequency of the potential alleles of a gene in a population, the total must add up to 1. Think of it like percentages. an allele frequency of 0.3 means 30% of the population carry it (out of a possible 100%).

We know that the frequency of c1 is 0.3. Lets take each option and see if it can be true

a) cannot be less than 0.3.  - false. It <em>could </em>be less than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.1, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would be 0.6 (because 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.6 = 1)

b) cannot be greater than 0.3. - false. It <em>could </em>be greater than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.5, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would have to be 0.2 (because 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.2 = 1)

c) is 0.7.  - false. It <em>can't </em>be 0.7, because that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)

d) cannot be greater than 0.7. - true. It <em>cannot </em>be greater than 0.7, because  that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)
