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.

Vanyuwa [196]
Step 1
Glucose enters glycolysis pathway and glycolysis yields pyruvate, then pyruvate undergoes processing.
step 2
Pyruvate processing ;releases acetylCOA which joins the citric acid cycle.
Step 3
The citric acid cycle yields 2ATP and CO2 and also releases NADH and FADH2 to electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
Step 4
Chemiosmosis and electron transport chain yields 25 ATP molecules and H2O Oxygen enters electron transport chain and osmosis.

How do the structures in an organism relate to their functions?
finlep [7]

The study of the relationship between structures and functions is at the very heart of biology. This relationship is expressed in living beings by the adaptation of the first to the second and poses a series of absolutely fundamental problems, such as the relationship between causality and finality, analogy and homology, structural improvement and evolutionary level, etc.

For example, the structure of the hand is related to its function, thanks to the fingers and the thumb it is easy to wear and store objects.

The zigzag structure of the intestine is related to its absorption function, as this makes it possible to increase the contact surface between the alimentary bolus and the intestinal wall, and thus to increase the absorption.
