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).

The nucleus has a system of _____ embedded within its outer membrane which allows communication between the nucleus interior and
Bumek [7]

Answer:

pores

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of "nuclear pores" on its outer membrane. Each of these are surrounded by <em>nuclear pore complex.</em> It allows the pore to <u>regulate the movement of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.</u> It allows small particles to pass through such as ribosomal proteins. It prevents most large particles<em> (except for histone)</em> from passing through; thus, <u>it is selective in nature</u>. This function of the pores clearly shows that <em>it allows communication to occur between the nucleus interior and the cytoplasm.</em>

   Which statement about male and female cones is true? asap!!!
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: a-Male cones are smaller than female cones.

The cones are the characteristics of the gymnosperms plant species specifically to the Conifers. These plants exhibit naked ovules and the pollination in these cones is aided by the wind pollination. The male cones are smaller than the female cones and grows on the lower branches of the trees whereas the female cones grows on the higher branches. Each bract or scale of the male cone exhibit numerous pollen grains which are blown away by the wind and they pollinate the ovules of the female cones. Each bract or scale of female cone exhibit an ovule at the lower end. Each ovule is fertilized by the pollen to form the seed.
