Northern elephant seals were hunted to the point that their population size was reduced to as few as 20 in the late 1800s. Since

then, their populations have rebounded to over 30,000. However, the genetic diversity is significantly reduced in the rebounded population of elephant seals. What explains this lack of genetic diversity in a population of 30,000?

Population bottlenecks.  but their genes still carry the marks of this bottleneck: they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted.

Answer:

Population bottleneck

Explanation:

Population bottleneck refers to drastic decrease in a population size due to environmental effects or human interference. When very low individuals survive and multiply, they might still recover the population size but the genetic diversity is reduced a lot. This is because allele frequency can decrease for a lot of alleles when the population size is decreasing, some alleles might even get eliminated completely from the population.

Here, even though Northern elephant seals regained their population to 30000 they had started from only the 20 remaining seals. Due to lack of diversity in remaining seals, even the progeny did not show genetic diversity.

Glucose provides energy for cells. Different cells have different mechanisms for glucose intake. Intestinal cells contain protei
Vlada [557]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Intestinal cell takes in glucose against Concentration gradient (uses energy in the form of ATP) to transport glucose into cell.

In blood cell, uptake of glucose occurs down concentration gradient. Hence, its facilitated diffusion (passive transport)

Glucose is a polar molecules due to presence of polar hydrophilic - OH group, hence carrier proteins are needed to provide a hydrophilic channel for glucose to enter the cell via facilitated diffusion.

What is the order of how glucose molecules make it into the cells? *
grandymaker [24]
During glycolysis, a glucose molecule with six carbon atoms is converted into two molecules of pyruvate, each of which contains three carbon atoms. For each molecule of glucose, two molecules of ATP are hydrolyzed to provide energy to drive the early steps, but four molecules of ATP are produced in the later steps.

What electron carrier is used in the redox reactions in cellular respiration
antoniya [11.8K]
<h2>Answer with Explanation </h2>

The electron that carries is use in redox reaction in the cellular respiration is a complex process. The electron carriers are needed to transport the electrons. The electron transfer that which is used during redox reaction in the cellular respiration is NAD+(NADH2). NADH is oxidized back to NAD+, and FADH2 is oxidized back to FAD. This stored energy can then be used to generate ATP. The ATP basic energy currency of a cell.

Where simple sugars are broken down into carbon dioxide, water vapor and atp ogranelle?
aleksklad [387]

Answer: Mitochondria

Explanation: Mitochondria is an organelle responsible for cellular respiration which is the break down of Simple sugars into carbon dioxide,water,ATP( adenosine trisphosphate).

It has a double membrane,known as the power House of the cells found in the cytoplasm of most Eukaryotic organisms.The number of Mitochondria found in an organism varies according to the Oxygen requirements of that organism. In human liver contains about 2000 Mitochondria,the Red blood cells do not contain Mitochondria.
