Northern elephant seals have reduced genetic variation because of a population bottleneck inflicted on them in the 1890's by hum

ans. Hunting reduced their population size to 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Although their population has rebounded to over 30,000 , but their genes still carry the marks of this bottleneck and they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted.
Big losses of genetic variation for the small populations are readily caused by
A) gene flow.
B) genetic drift.
C) natural selection.
D) the founder effect.

A synovial joint is surrounded by a two-layer ____________ which encloses a fluid-filled space called the ____________ . The out
galben [10]

A synovial joint is surrounded by a two layer <em>joint capsule</em> which encloses a fluid filled space called the <em>synovial cavity</em>. The outer layer of this structure consists of <em>dense connective tissue</em> which is continuous with the periosteum of each bone. The outer layer may be reinforced by <em>ligaments</em> which are bundles of collagenous fibers. Some of these bundles are part of the capsule while other are located outside of the capsule. By definition, the structures, such as some ligaments, that are located outside the capsule are called <em>accessory structures</em>. The inner layer of the joint capsule is the <em>synovial membrane</em>, consisting of loose connective tissue. The inner lining of the joint capsule secretes a fluid called <em>synovial fluid</em>. This fluid is viscous, and moistens and lubricates the surfaces within the joint capsule

Explain the law's of segregation and independent assortment.
VikaD [51]

I hope this helps.

Explanation: The law of segregation states that the two alleles of a single trait will separate randomly, meaning that there is a 50% either allele will end up in either gamete. This has to do with 1 gene. The law of independent assortment states that the allele of one gene separates independently of an allele of another gene.

Which of the following is NOT a pyrimidine?
Nostrana [21]
That'll be guanine. If you look up "pyrimidine" in google, it will tell you the two nucleotides that are pyrmidines are cytosine and thymine. So that leaves guanine.
