Why is earthquake prediction a challenge for scientists​

Biology
1 answer:
Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

Reliable predictions require precursors – some kind of signal in the earth that indicates a big quake is on the way. The signal has to happen only before large earthquakes and it has to occur before all big quakes.

State the five requirements for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
mihalych1998 [28]

When it comes to population evolution and genetics, we cannot fail to cite the Hardy-Weinberg principle which emphasizes that if evolutionary factors such as natural selection, mutation, migration and genetic oscillation do not act on a particular population, the frequencies genotypic proportions will remain constant.

The five requirements for a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

  • Large-scale breeding population: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, it is important that this population is large, as small populations favor genetic drift (unanticipated fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to another).
  • Random mating: In order for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium to occur, it is necessary that the mating occur at random, with no preference for certain groups within the population. In this case, we say that the population is in panmixia, that is, they all mate at random.
  • No mutations: Mutations alter the total alleles present in a population (gene pool). Therefore, in a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium population, no mutations should occur.
  • No gene flow: When there is gene flow due to migration or immigration of individuals, some genes may be included or excluded from the population. Thus, in an equilibrium situation, no gene flow occurs.
  • Lack of natural selection: For a population to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, natural selection must not be acting on it. If natural selection acts, some genotypes will be selected, modifying the allelic frequencies of the population.

someone please help me with Part A and B on biology please i really need help will give brainliest ​read hard and rotate phone i
finlep [7]

<em>Hi there, I come in behalf of jcherry99,</em>

So, first question -

This shouldn't be that much of an issue, since we have the text to help us out, but I'll try breaking it up into more simpler words:

The placenta is incide the uterus, where the baby starts forming. As you might already know, babies do not eat while they're inside woman's bellies:

So how do they feed?

They feed throught the umbilical cord.

So why is the placenta there? Why would the baby want anything apart from food?

The placenta, instead of trading food with the baby, regulates temperature, supplies it with nutrients, exchanges gas with the mother (which the mother later exchanges with the environment) and gets rid of waste.

And, food is not everything for a baby that is in the urge of developing complex muscles, bones, etc.

Second "question" -

I do not actually know what I'm supposed to do, since there is no question. But I can tell you this - the information contained in part B is correct:

The amnioic sac provides babies with a liquid which allows him to move freely in the uterus, which is very helpful. But, note that he doesn't start moving randomly, he is always in a fetus or similar-to-fetus position.

Hope it helped,

elixir [45]

Answer:

Which generations saw a population altering incident? Use your imagination to invent apossible environmental incident that could have caused this shift in populations. The white bears saw a population altering incident because in generation 6 the number wentdown pretty unexpectedly.
