A new mutation arises in one person on the island of Kiribati (human population size 100,000). Assuming this particular mutation
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.999999 ≈ 1

Explanation:

In a population ( N ) there is the presence of 2N alleles in the population also chance of fixation can be expressed as ; 1/ 2N

Therefore the probability that the mutation will be lost due to genetic drift

= 2N - 1 / 2N ---- ( 1 )

given that ; N = 100,000

back to equation 1

P ( losing mutation due to genetic drift ) = ((2*100,000) - 1 )) / ( 2* 100,000 )

= ( 200,000 - 1 ) / 200,000

= 0.999999 ≈ 1

What is the most important distinction between the membrane transporters known as channel proteins and those known as carrier pr
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Channel proteins form hydrophilic channels to passively transport substances down the concentration gradient.

Carrier proteins bind to substances to transport them actively against the concentration gradient. They do not form channels.

Explanation:

Channel proteins are the membrane proteins that serve in transport of small polar molecules and/or ions by making a hydrophilic pore across the membrane. These molecules diffusion through the pore and exhibit facilitated diffusion.  

Carrier proteins are the membrane proteins that transport the substances across the membrane by binding to them. They do not form the hydrophilic channels. Carrier proteins serve in the active transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.

Which is a reflex response?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer/ explanation :

Reflex response is an involuntary, automatic and rapid response to a stimulus.

It's is controlled by the brain stem.

Reflex actions cannot be controlled. They are coordinated by nerves which moves to and fro in the spinal cord without a direct involvement of the brain.

Examples of a reflex response

Sneezing, coughing, yawning, toughing a hot object, blinking of the eyes.

There are two types of reflex response

Autonomic reflex arc

The somatic reflex arc

The reflex responses happens so quickly because they do not have to be processed by the brain before taking place.
