A small group of diploid triangular Sticky Notes were fluttering along the coast of The Mainland. A storm blew in and blew the S

ticky Notes to an isolated island that had never previously been inhabited by Sticky Notes. After a few years, the Sticky Note population (though still small) has happily made the new island their home and are visited by an evolutionary biologist. The evolutionary biologist bands the Notes, collects tissue for a genetic analysis, and finds that this isolated population of Notes is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Why is this, and what may be the potential long-term significance

Answer:

Because genetic drift (Founder effect) is acting on this population. Not all the Hardy weinberg criteria are accomplished. There are no random matings and populations are finite-sized.

Explanation:

This is a special case of genetic drift: the founder effect.

The “Founder effect” phenomenon refers to cases where a new population originates from a few founder individuals, coming from a bigger ancestral population, that established in a new environment. This small population might or might not be genetically representative of the original one. This subgroup carries with them some genetic information that they share with their original population. Over time, some genes can be lost, or they can increase in frequency. Some rare alleles might be exceeded or might be completely lost. On Consequence, when the small population grows, it will have a genetically different composition from the original one. In these situations, genetic variability is reduced and enhances the possibility of developing a peculiar allelic composition. In some cases, the founder effect is part of the process of speciation.  

The criteria for maintaining a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:  

  • Random matings
  • No superposed generations
  • No mutations
  • No migration  
  • Infinite population size
  • No natural selection

Genetic drift involved the un-accomplishment of random matings and infinite population sizes.

Genetic drift involves:

  • limited population sizes
  • individuals reproduce by endogamy/exogamy, and matings occur by phenotype.

What similarities in flower structure are found among the plants in the rose family
emmainna [20.7K]

The rose family is a medium-sized family of flowering plants. The rose family (Rosaceae) is one of the major angiosperm families. The leaves are generally arranged spirally. Flowers of plants in the rose family are generally described as "showy". They are actinomorphic and almost always hermaphroditic.  Rosaceae generally have five sepals, and five petals. They also have many spirally arranged stamens. The bases of the sepals, petals, and stamens are fused together to form a  cup-like structure called a hypanthium. They can be arranged in racemes, spikes, or heads; solitary flowers are rare.

How does the feild that surrounds the electromagnet differ from the Earths magnetic field
tino4ka555 [31]

The differences between the geomagnetism and electromagnetism are given below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Geomagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is located all around the earth. Whereas electromagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is produced due to passing of electricity through a conductor.

The geomagnetism is formed because of the molten elements of iron etc which are present inside Earth's core, and are continuously moving. It mostly resembles the solid block magnet in its field characteristics. But electromagnetism is different. It can be changed according to the current input which isn't possible for Earth’s magnetic field.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The answer is

2. magnetism and fluorescence

Explanation:

The other properties mentioned are common properties that are used to identify all minerals. As you can see, hardness, color and fracture are common properties that cut across all minerals. Magnetism and fluorescence however, are not very common and are found in only a few special minerals. That is why they are considered special properties.

Hope this helps!
