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.

The theory of plate tectonics:
sertanlavr [38]

A) .was immediately accepted

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics was immediately recognized as the explanation for the moving continents. It provided a more scientific background as why continents drift apart and the seafloor keeps spreading.

  • The theory explains that the earth is broken up into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves on the weak, ductile and fluid asthenosphere.
  • The movement of part of the earth mantle provided the mechanism through which the lithosphere moves. This is now known as the mantle convection.
  • This theory provided a scientific mechanism through which the plate moves and seafloor spreads.
  • It was immediately accepted when the theory was propounded by Alfred Holmes in the 1930s

If GFR is 125 ml/min, and you are studying a drug that has a renal clearance rate of 20 ml/min, you can conclude that
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

(B). The drug is reabsorbed.

Explanation:

Renal clearance rate determines the excretion of drugs into the urine during excretion. It is used to study the main process associated with a drug's renal excretion.

When the renal clearance rate is lower than GFR (glomerulus filtration rate), the drug is absorbed in the renal tubules. When the renal clearance rate is higher than GFR, the drug is secreted into the urine. When the renal clearance rate is equal to the GFR, the drug is neither reabsorbed nor secreted.

As for given drug, renal clearance is 20 ml/min (less than GFR), this drug will reabsorbed.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
