Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism that in a population it changes allelic frequencies over generations just by chance. For this reason, small populations are more susceptible to be affected by genetic drift than bigger populations.  

In this example, Indiana Jones visited a small village of 50 people and over generations allele A probably was lost just by chance, or by genetic drift.

The structure labeled ________ can be influenced by hormones to change the concentration of the urine.
puteri [66]

Answer: The diagram attached is known as the nephron,it is labelled from A to E, the structure labelled E which is known as the COLLECTING DUCT can be influenced by hormones to change the concentration of urine.

Explanation: Antidiuretic hormone ADH is one of the hormones that is produced by the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland of the endocrine system,this antidiuretic hormone performs certain functions of which one is that it helps to increase the rate and amount of water that is reabasorbed in the distal convulated tubule of the nephron during the second stage of urine formation,when these water are reabsorbed,the urine being produced becomes more concentrated and there is a further reduction in the volume/quantity of urine produced.

When this volume of urine is decreased/reduced, plasma osmolarity increases in reaction to the decreased volume of urine.

Urine are also reabsorbed in the collecting duct.

Write components of xylem and phylem ?
aleksandrvk [35]
  • Xylem contains tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibre.
  1. Tracheids: They are elongated, tubular dead cells with tapering end walls.
  2. Vessels: These are also known as trachea. They are elongated, tubular dead cells. They are joined to each other by end to end forming a continuous pipe. The cells are thick and lignified.
  3. Xylem parenchyma: They are also called wood parenchyma. This is the only living tissue of xylem.
  4. Xylem fibre: They are dead cells with thick walled fibre.

  • Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
  1. Sieve tubes: These are elongated, tubular living cells arranged in a row, with their perforated end walls forming a sieve. They are non-nucleated. Their protoplasm are inter-connected through sieve plates. They possess vacuoles.
  2. Companion cell: They are elongated, lens-shaped cells containing dense cytoplasm and prominent nuclei. These cells maintain connection with sieve cells through pits.
  3. Phloem parenchyma: They are living thin walled parenchyma cells.
  4. Phloem fibre: They are also known as bast fibre. They are elongated fibre like sclerenchymatous dead cells with thick walls containing pits and interlocked ends. Phloem fibre are the only dead cells in phloem.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
