oee [108]3 years ago
8 0

Question continuation;

..........type B. Type A is found to be more common in the mainland population from which the island was settled.

How could a geneticist best explain the dominance of blood type B in the island population?


Multiple choices;

A. Random mutations have occurred in the island population.

B. Genetic drift has reduced the frequency of type A individuals.

C. Natural selection has only occurred in the mainland population.

D. Environmental conditions on the island are less favorable for type B individuals.


Answer;

B. Genetic drift has reduced the frequency of type A individuals.


Explanation;

-Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance.

-It occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.

Alex is participating in a 50 meter dash. Predict the most important chemical process his muscles will rely on during this race.
natta225 [31]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option E

BOTH ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION AND CREATININE PHOSPHATE BREAKDOWN.

Explanation: 50 meter dash is a race,a form of exercise, energy is required as well as muscle contraction and chemical processes.

Alex muscles will rely on the following chemical processes during the race;anaerobic respiration and creatine phosphate breakdown.

These chemical processes are explained below;

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to generate energy but unlike aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy and create adenosine triphosphate(ATP), lactic acid and ethanol.

Muscle contraction cannot take place without the supply of energy by ATP, molecules can store energy in it's phosphate form, this molecule is known as creatine phosphate,when this happens,ATP that is in excess will then transfer it's energy to creatine,this action will produce creatinine phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and they will now be stored as reserve of energy that can be used to produce more ATP and thus energy is produced.
