When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution?

Biology

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.

Which of the following events takes place in the electron transport chain?A) the breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecule
castortr0y [4]

The correct answer is: C) the extraction of energy from high-energy electrons remaining from glycolysis and the citric acid cycle

Electrons from electron carriers (NADH and FADH from glycolysis and citric acid cycle) donate electrons to the electron transport chain and that causes changes in protein complexes of electron transport chain. As a consequence, protein complexes pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria.  H+ can only get back and pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane with the help of ATP synthase (down their electrochemical gradient). ATP synthase turned by the force of the H+ diffusing through it forms ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP. This type of ATP synthesis  is called oxidative phosphorylation and it is based on chemiosmosis-movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane.

What does the model suggest about a mechanism for regulating ph in an organism?
Goryan [66]
The answer is c02 regulation, the carbonic acid bicarbonate buffer regulation, the H+ regulation and gas exchange. The following regulations are all completed through the circulatory, excretory and respiratory systems which is part of one huge function that is called homeostasis. Homeostasis is the predisposition to repel alteration in order to uphold a even comparatively constant internal situation.

Which kingdom or supergroup is characterized by organisms that are heterotrophic by ingestion?
Akimi4 [234]
The kingdom described above is the kingdom Animalia. Heterotrophic mode of nutrition is a type of nutrition in which organisms depends upon other organisms such as plants for survival, for example all animals are heterotrophic and obtain all organic materials they need to survive. The other type of nutrition is the autotrophic mode of nutrition in which organisms use simple inorganic substances to synthesize organic molecules, a characteristic of plants.
