In a hypothetical population of butterflies, a dominant mutation in an allele that controls wing color has resulted in purple sp

ots developing on the wings. The genetic change is heritable such that the offspring of butterflies who inherit at least one mutated allele will develop purple spots. The population of butterflies inhabits a windy field that contains many purple flowers. Individuals with purple spots are so well camouflaged on the purple flowers that they are eaten less frequently by predators. There are other fields with populations of the same species of butterfly nearby, but purple flowers are less prevalent in these nearby habitat areas. There are no borders between these fields and it is common for individuals from one population to be blown into another population by the wind. Despite the advantage the mutated allele confers to the butterflies in the field with many purple flowers, the mutated allele never occupies 100% of the gene pool and the population of butterflies always contains a mix of individuals with and without purple spots. What is the most likely explanation for why this trait does not spread entirely throughout the population

The movement of alleles into a population is called gene flow. The most likely explanation for why this trait does not entirely spread in the population is 'outside alleles enter the population through gene flow'.

Gene flow is caused by the migration and further reproduction of individuals in the population, or the transport of gametes from one population to another (e.g., the transport of pollen by pollinating bees).

Gene flow is an evolutionary force capable of modifying allele frequencies in a population.

In this case, despite the evolutionary advantage that the mutated allele confers to the butterflies, the frequency of this allele can not reach 100% due to the continued introduction of alleles from other populations (i.e., due to gene flow).

ardiac muscle cells rely mainly on fatty acids and glucose from the blood to produce ATP. Both glucose and fatty acids are catab
Art [367]

It is now well established that oxidation of other energy substrates, such as ketones and branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), can also contribute to energy production in the heart, despite the fact that mitochondrial fatty acid and carbohydrate oxidation is the major source of ATP production in the heart.

Cells must evaluate their metabolic condition in response to a dynamic nutritional environment to determine whether to grow, survive, or perish. When communicating metabolic information to their protein and nucleic acid counterparts, these tiny molecule metabolites are crucial. The processes by which metabolites have an impact on cellular regulatory mechanisms are still largely unknown, despite growing knowledge of this reciprocal interplay.

Where do the branches of the bronchial tree ultimately end? 2. list the steps of the pulmonary circuit of the cardiovascular sys
Aneli [31]
1. The branches of the bronchial tree ultimately ends at the alveoli.
Bronchial tree consist of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Bronchi are formed as the lower part of the trachea divides into two tubes. Bronchioles are smaller tube divisions of the bronchi. It walls contain smooth muscle and no cartilage. Alveoli are tiny ends of the alveolar ducts, which functions as the site for gaseous exchange. 

2. Blood flows from the left atrium; mitral (bicuspid valves), the left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta, veins and heart, right side of the heart, superior and inferior vena cavae, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, then back to the heart...

3. Arteries and the veins differ in structures and they way they functions; Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body (except pulmonary artery) while veins carry deoxygenated blood back from the body to the heart (except pulmonary veins). A structural differences includes; the veins contain valves while arteries lack. Arteries have narrow lumen while veins have wide lumen. Lastly, blood carried by veins has higher pressure compared to blood carried in vessels.

4. The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and the bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs throgh the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.

5. The cartilage rings of the trachea
They are strong but flexible tissues which support the trachea or the windpipe while still allowing it to move and flex during breathing. Additionally these cartilage rings are C-shaped to provide room for the esophagus, which lies along the back side of the trachea.

6. Functions of the larynx includes;
To protect the airway from choking on material in the throat
to regulate the flow of air into our lungs
The production of sounds used for speech 
Larynx is part of the respiratory system and is located between the pharynx and the trachea. Humans use larynx to breathe, talk and swallow. 

7. Structures that make up the pathway of air through the respiratory system starting with the external nares; We start with; External nares, nasal cavity, internal nares, nasopharynx, laryngopharynx,oropharynx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus, bronchiole, terminal bronchiole, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolar sac and alveolus.

Alpha particles used in the Gold foil experiments are Helium atoms that__?
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2. have no negative particle

Explanation:

Helium atoms contains 2 neutrons and 2 protons (or 2 electrons). Thus, it has a mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2.

Alpha particles are heavy and positively charged, which make them to be deflected in a magnetic or electric charge. So, the helium atoms used as alpha particles for the gold foil experiment must have no negative particle.
