Suppose that a few individuals of a lizard species are transported on a log that floats from the mainland, where the lizard is a

bundant, to a distant island, where prior to this event no lizards (of any species) existed. The environmental conditions on the island are similar to those on the mainland. A small population of this lizard becomes established on the island; within a few years, allele frequencies in the island population differ greatly from those in mainland populations. What is the most likely cause of the genetic differences between the island and mainland populations?

densk [106]

Answer:

The cytochrome b6f is a large multi-subunit protein, which accepts electrons from the plastohydroquinone.

One electron moves linearly toward plastocyanin while the other goes through a cyclic process, which effectively pumps more protons into the thylakoid lumen.

Explanation:

The cytochrome b6f is distributed among both grana and stroma thylakoids equally. They are usually large and embedded in the membrane.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The cell bodies of sensory neurons that are in clusters of neurons outside the spinal cord are called  ____

The answer is "dorsal root ganglia"

Explanation:

Explanations of some terms

Sensory neurons:

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, have cell bodies that are located in the dorsal ganglia (also known as  spinal ganglia) of the spinal cord. Most sensory neurons have one axon which is split into two branches, they transmit impulses toward the spinal cord.

Spinal cord:

The spinal cord is a tubular structure composed of nervous tissue housed within the vertebral column, runs from the base of the brain to the lower spine. Spinal cord is a component of the Central Nervous System that serves as information highway the between brain and the body which Integrates and processes information. It can function with the brain and can also function independently of the brain.

Dorsal root ganglia:

Dorsal root ganglia also known as dorsal ganglia originated as bipolar cells. They exists within the peripheral nervous system and they have special nerve cell clusters that aid in transmitting the sensory messages of pain and touch. The dorsal root ganglia receive information from sensory receptor organs and transmitting the information to the central nervous system.
