8 0

Answer: catastrophic events.

Explanation:

Several factors besides Natural Selection, such as gene flow, mutations, and genetic drift promote the evolution of populations, but only Natural Selection results in adaptations. Natural selection can explain the adaptation and specialization of living beings and depends on the existence of reproduction, heritable phenotypic variation, to some degree, and especially the difference of fitness among individuals. Reproductive differential and/or mortality favors certain genotypes over generations and may lead to loss or fixation of alleles over time within populations. Natural selection can act in different ways, depending on the variants phenotypic phenomena and the adaptive values associated with them, which may be disruptive, directional or stabilizing. Based in this, we can affim the catastrophic events are not required for natural selction to occur.

Which term describes the example below?A child with no freckles has a mother who has freckles and is heterozygous and a father w
Natali5045456 [20]
It is C as to have freckles you have to have a dominant and recessive gene (can be worked out using a punnett square) as the child has 50% of not having freckles like his dad or 50% having freckles like his mom. 
                     male genes(homozygous recessive)
                     f            f

female    F    Ff           Ff
genes
              f     ff             ff

so ff is not having freckles and being homozygous recessive, or Ff having freckles and being heterozygous.

So the child is heterozygous  so C

What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na+ concentrations and lower than normal K+ concentrations.

Explanation:

Na+/K+ ATPase exists in two forms: Its phosphorylated form has a high affinity for K+ and low affinity for Na+. ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation of the Na+/K+ pump favor the release of Na+ outside the cell and binding of K+ ions from the outside of the cell. Dephosphorylation of the pump increases its affinity for Na+ and reduces that for K+ ions resulting in the release of K+ ions inside the cells and binding to the Na+ from the cells.  

The presence of ATP analog would not allow the pump to obtain its phosphorylated form. Therefore, Na+ ions would not be released outside the cells. This would increase the Na+ concentration inside the cell above the normal. Similarly, the pump would not be able to pick the K+ from the outside of the cell resulting in reduced cellular K+ concentration below the normal range.
