Answer:
The correct answer is: Genetic Drift.
Explanation:
- In any population of any species having two or more alleles encoding for different genes, the frequency of occurrence of each allele among the individuals of a population can vary.
- The frequency of one allele may be far more or far less than the frequency of other alleles.
- The frequency of any particular allele is dependent on factors like random mating among individuals as well as natural selection, that tends to increase the frequency of those alleles which provide a survival advantage to the individual in a given environment.
- Genetic drift can be defined as a phenomenon due to which the frequency of an allele encoding for a particular gene undergoes drastic change (increase or decrease) in a population due to random mating as well as natural selection.
- In the given statement, one individual of an isolated population of piranhas underwent synonymous mutation in the beta-globin encoding gene.
- A synonymous mutation can be defined as such a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene that does not affect the sequence, structure or function of the protein encoded by it.
- The increase in the frequency of the mutated form of the beta-globin gene after five generations to 5% indicates that due to the impact of random mating or natural selection or both, this has happened.
Answer:Determinants
Explanation:
Determinant covers causes, risk factors, mode of transmission (why and how)
Answer:
Explanation:a) low melting point
Poor conductivity
: Low solubility
Low solubility The mass is equal to the sum of the masses of all the individual atoms in the molecular structure.
b) The cross-sectional area of the fluid.
Therefore The diffusion coefficient is a physical constant dependent on molecule size and other properties of the diffusing substance as well as on temperature and pressure.
-Genetically modified crops :weather and disease resistant meaning more crops and more food available ensuring food security for many counties
- Vaccinations : immunisation from diseases that previously proved deadly
- Fertility assistance ,prenatal scanning, home pregnancy tests
-research into Alzheimer’s
- provided cancer and heart disease treatment
- enabled growing of organs so waiting lists for transplants get shorter and more lives are saved
Answer: D - Lipids
Lipids provide a long term energy storage because they contain longer C-H bonds compared to the other organic molecules, making it easier for them to store larger amount of energy. Moreover, upon burning they produce twice the amount of calories compared to that of the carbohydrates.
