In the next decade, the gene coding for green eyes in hares may have increased in proportion in the hare population, it may have decreased, or it may have been completely eliminated from the population. This will happen completely randomly.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Genetic drift is an evolutionary mechanism that can act together with natural selection.
  • While natural selection allows the most adapted genes to be passed on to the next generation, genetic drift does not have a criterion, and genes are passed through generations in a completely random way.
  • Thus, according to the genetic drift, the next generations can receive the adaptive gene in greater quantity, smaller quantity, or not receive, causing a trait to be removed from the population in a completely random way.

Therefore, we can say that it is not possible, through genetic drift, to know what will happen to the green-eyed genes in hares, as they can increase, decrease or disappear from the population.

Which information is needed to construct a geomagnetic time scale?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth

Explanation:

The earth's magnetic field or geomagnetic field is believed to originate from the movement of molten iron and nickel in the outer core.

During a period in which the earth magnetic field is normal, crystallising magnetic minerals in magma records the orientation of the prevailing geomagnetic field. At other times when the field reverses and the magnetic field orientation changes, magnetic minerals in cooling magma stores this record.

To create a geomagnetic time scale, geologists can assign absolute ages to the records of these paleomagnetic anomalies which are the reversals. The rock is dated using radiometric techniques and each period of reversal is ascribed an absolute geologic age. Therefore, the magnetic direction of rocks along the surface of Earth and the age of rocks along the surface of Earth helps to build the geomagnetic time scale of the earth.
