Geneticist have determined that the majority of individuals in an isolate island population have blood type b. type a blood is f

ound to be more common in the mainland populations from which the island was settled. how would a geneticist explain the dominance of blood tpe b in the island population.
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.

The correct answer is genetic drift has minimized the frequency of type A individuals.

Usually, genetic drift takes place in small populations, where infrequently happening alleles encounter with a greater chance of getting lost. Once it starts, genetic drift will continue until the involved allele is the only allele present in a population at a specific locus or until the allele involved is lost.

In the given case, allele A is lost due to genetic drift phenomenon.

The instructions for the traits of an organism are coded in the arrangement of
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is bases in DNA in the nucleus.

Explanation:

DNA act as repository of genetic material.DNA contain nucleotides in which the genetic information is being stored.

       The proteins that are formed from RNA(which is in turn formed from DNA ) to carry out the central dogma of molecular biology.

  The bases or nucleotides those are present within DNA molecule in the nucleus generate instruction for the traits of an organism.
