In a relatively small iguana population the allelic frequency is tracked for three generations. Webbing is a recessive allele; n

o webbing is the dominant allele. During one very rainy spring and summer, a flood washes all the iguana without webbed feet out to sea. By the fall, and three generations later, you have the gene pool seen here. This is an example of A) gene flow. B) immigration. C) genetic drift. D) founder effect.

Answer:

C) genetic drift.

Explanation:

In this question, the alleles of the dominant trait that is without webbed feet are eliminated from the population due to flood in the area where the iguana population was living.

This elimination of the dominant alleles due to flood is a by chance event or a random event. This event changed the gene pool of the population and the population with left or recessive alleles will survive.

This change in the gene pool of a small population due to the random effect is known as the genetic drift.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation: The random change in the gene pool is due to genetic drift. Remember, genetic drift occurs at a more rapid rate when the population size is reduced. The flood is a random occurrence. It could have as easily been a drought.

Divergent faults form when tectonic plates _____. move away from one another stop moving crash into one another slide past each
AleksAgata [21]

Correct answer: A). Move away from one another

The divergent boundaries are formed when the tectonic plate move away from each other. It forms volcanic islands that occur when the plates move away in order to produce gaps that are filled by molten lava.

The divergent boundary contributes to the formation of seafloor spreading. When the plates that are made up of oceanic crust move away from each other, a crack in the ocean floor appears. Then the magma oozes out from the mantle to fill that crack that results in ocean ridges.

Hence, the correct answer would be option A.

Why is innate host resistance a type of nonspecific immune response?.
ASHA 777 [7]

These defenses are described as nonspecific because they do not target any specific pathogen; rather, they defend against a wide range of potential pathogens.

<h3>Is innate immunity nonspecific resistance?</h3>

The innate immune system provides this kind of nonspecific protection through a number of defense mechanisms, which include physical barriers such as the skin, chemical barriers such as antimicrobial proteins that harm or destroy invaders, and cells that attack foreign cells and body cells harbouring infectious agents.

Thus,  they do not target any specific pathogen; rather, they defend against a wide range of potential pathogens.
