When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution?

Answer:

B) when there is no selective pressure

Explanation:

Genetic drift refers to a chance act acting over genetic variations or alleles previously distributed evenly over a population, drastically altering the distribution. For example, if I had 100 rabbits with coats white, brown, gray and black and suddenly a disease broke that killed all my black and brown rabbits, the genetic variation allowing for brown and black coats would have disappeared. This is a chance act, as the black and brown rabbits were not intentionally affected. Also there was no selective pressure for rabbits to develop one coat color, that's why the genetic variation was distributed evenly. This is different from artificial selection, as the eradication of black and brown coats was due to a random event, we did not select the coat color like people do for artificial selection.

In the term trace element, the adjective trace means that
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The elemental is required in very small amount. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Trace element is also known as micro-nutrient. It is also defined as any chemical element required by living organisms in a minute or small amounts which is usually part of the vital enzyme (cells produced by catalytic protein).

Exact needs of trace elements vary among species, like commonly required plant trace elements are cooper, zinc, manganese, boron, and molybdenum. Animals commonly required iodine, manganese, and cobalt.

Absence of necessary plant trace elements required by plants in the soil causes deficiency disease, lack of animal trace elements used by animals in the soil may not harm plants, but, animals feeding on those plants develop their deficiency disease.

So, the adjective trace means that the elemental is required in a very small amount.

When a cell divides to make two new cells, it copies its DNA first. This is called DNA replication. Why do you think this is imp
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

DNA replication is important because without it, cell division could not occur. With DNA replication, the set of DNA of a cell can be duplicated and then each cell that results from division can have its own entire set of DNA, and cell division can theoretically continue indefinitely.

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters Earth’s atmosphere?
Liula [17]
The answer is A.It is absorbed by Earth.
