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.

In STR profiling, PCR is used to obtain enough DNA to then detect the number of STRs at I specific loci.​
Licemer1 [7]

PCR technique is important in STR profiling in order to amplify and detect the number of Stars at a specific gene loci.

<h3>What is Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling?</h3>

Short Tandem Repeat profiling is a technique in molecular biology used to compare allele repeats known as STRs at specific loci in DNA between two or more samples.

The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technique used in STR profiling involves making multiple copies is a particular segment of DNA in order to make enough quantities detectable in the analysis.

Therefore, PCR technique is important in STR profiling to detect the number of Stars at a specific gene loci.

How do animal cells, Plant cells, freshwater protists, and
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Plant cells deal with osmosis by being enclosed in a cell wall.

Animal cells use active transport systems to deal with the problem of osmosis.

Fresh water protists have contractile vacuoles to deal with osmosis.

Many bacteria have cell wall to protect them from osmosis.

Explanation:

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall. If a plant cell is places in a place where the conditions are hypotonic, then the cell will tale up water by osmosis but the cell wall will prevent it from bursting. This condition is termed as the cell being 'turgid'.

As animal cells do not have the rigid cell wall, they use the mechanism of active transport system to stop the cell from bursting during osmosis. In this process, ions are moved out of the cell so that the pressure in the cell due to osmosis can be reduced.

Fresh water protists have a structure present in them called as the contractile vacuole. The contractile vacuole has the capability to remove any excess water from the cell as well storing water if there is not enough water.

Bacteria have peptidoglycan cell walls to prevent osmosis.
