True or false: Theoretically, it is possible (but very difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while.

It is true that it is possible for a population to not evolve for a while.

There is something called the Hardy-Weinberg theorem, which characterizes the distributions of genotype frequencies in populations that are not evolving.

There are 5 Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

  • no mutation
  • random mating
  • no gene flow
  • infinite population size
  • and no selection (natural nor forced).

You can see that some of these are kinda extreme and really hard to get, but with approximations, we can work.

For example, instead of an "infinite population size" we have enough with a really large population, such that genetic drift is negligible.

Concluding, yes, it is possible (but really difficult) for a population to not evolve for a while (at least, in nature), as long as the 5 assumptions above are met.

Which TWO descriptions of plants explain how they contributed to the carbon cycle?
denpristay [2]

Plants stored carbon in their tissues to use as energy and plants took in carbon dioxide and released oxygen through photosynthesis. Thus, the correct option is A and D.

<h3>What is carbon cycle?</h3>

The carbon cycle is the ongoing process through which carbon atoms move back and forth between the atmosphere and the Earth. The amount of carbon in this system does not fluctuate because our planet and its atmosphere are a closed environment. The location of the carbon, whether it is on Earth or in the atmosphere, is continually changing.

Plants use photosynthesis to transport carbon from the atmosphere into the biosphere and move it up the food chain. They make sugar molecules by chemically combining carbon dioxide with oxygen and hydrogen from water using solar energy.
