Answer:

a population’s gene pool

Answer:

The correct answer would be - marbles represent alleles for a particular trait that has an allelic frequency of 0.5 in this simulation.

Explanation:

In this given representation or simulation to illustrate genetic drift, a student used marbles of different colors. She used 20 red and 20 yellow marbles in a population of 40 individuals. In this simulation, she used each marble color red and yellow to represent the allele for a particular trait.

That means red marbles represent alleles that are specific to a trait of a gene and similarly yellow marble represents another trait of the same gene. It is also represented that both alleles are present in the same number which means they have alllelic frequency of 0.5.

What are the steps of meiosis
zlopas [31]

Answer:

In meiosis I there is prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I and then in meiosis II there is prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.

Explanation:

In meiosis I we have;

Prophase I in which a pair of homologous chromosomes line up and form a tetrad. This is the stage during which genetic recombination occurs.

Metaphase I occurs, during which the homologous chromosomes line up opposite each other at the metaphase plate. The chromosomes orientate themselves randomly, thus homologous chromosomes are distributed randomly to daughter cells .

In Anaphase I, homologous chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cells but sister chromatids remain together. Each cell now has 23 chromosomes.

Telophase I in which the homologous chromosomes move to the poles and cytokinesis occurs. Two daughter cells are formed.

In meiosis II we have;

Prophase II (note: there is no interphase as seen in mitosis) during which chromosomes start to move to the metaphase II plate. There is no replication.

Next is metaphase II when the chromosomes align at the metaphase II plate.

In anaphase II the sister chromatids separate from each other and move towards opposite poles.

Lastly, in telophase II cytokinesis occurs again and four daughter cells are produced. Each of the four daughter cells has 23 chromosomes.

Which of the following modifications is least likely to alter the rate at which a DNA fragment moves through a gel during electr
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

A) altering the nucleotide sequence of the DNA fragment

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique to separate the DNA fragments on the basis of their charges and size. DNA fragments are made to migrate through a gel in an electric field. DNA has nucleotides and the presence of phosphate groups makes it a negatively charged molecule. In the gel electrophoresis, DNA fragment migrates through the gel toward the positive pole. Also, the gel slows down the large molecules more than the small molecules. Therefore, the DNA fragments are separated by size. However, the sequence of the nucleotide of DNA fragments does not affect the rate of their migration in the gel.

Show how evolution could have occurred by the process of natural selection
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Natural selection is basically a way for nature to choose what works and what doesn't work.  For example, if an animal was born with webs to swim, but most of its food source can be gotten on land, then the animal will die off until it evolves to go on land.  That is how evolution works with natural selection.  In the past long ago, millions of years back, animals in the water needed oxygen to breath, but the water started to lose it.  The land had air, and then the fish slowly grew legs, and their gills would evolve to lungs.  Eventually they would be able to roam the land.  Because there was so much oxygen with all of the shrubs, trees, and plants, that allowed the bodies of animals to grow big.
