5. What types of genes change very slowly?

2 answers:

Answer: Mutation. The allelic variations that make evolution possible are generated by the process of mutation, but new mutations change gene frequencies very slowly, because mutation rates are low. Assume that the gene allele A1 mutates to allele A2 at a rate m per generation and that at a given time the frequency of A1 is p.

Type 2 causes serious medical problems beginning in infancy, while Type 3 progresses more slowly than Type 2. There are also other more unusual forms that are hard to categorize within the three Types. Gaucher disease is caused by changes (mutations) in a single gene called GBA. Mutations in the GBA gene

hope this helps :)

Genetic drift simulation: understanding evolution

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance (sampling error).

Genetic drift occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.

Genetic drift may result in the loss of some alleles (including beneficial ones) and the fixation.

Genetic drift can have major effects when a population is sharply reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group splits off from the main population to found a colony (founder effect).

Check all of the statements that are true regarding keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.

strojnjashka [21]

Answer;

-Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium forms the epidermis of the skin.

-In keratinized stratified squamous epithelial tissue, the cells on the apical (outer) surface are dead.

Explanation;

-Stratified squamous epithelium is a type of tissue found covering and lining parts of the body. Stratified squamous epithelium may be keratinized or nonkeratinized. Non-keratinized surfaces must be kept moist by bodily secretions to prevent them from drying out.

-The cells on the surface of stratified squamous keratinized epithelium are very flat. Not only are they flat, but they are no longer alive. They have no nucleus or organelles. They are filled with a protein called keratin, which is what makes our skin waterproof.
