Answer:

1. a.mutation,

b. recombination,

c. immigration of genes,

d.climate and

e.associations

2. Mutation : Is the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.

  • Gene flow : Gene flow is also called gene migration. Gene flow is the transfer of genetic material from one population to another. Gene flow can take place between two populations of the same species through migration, and is mediated by reproduction and vertical gene transfer from parent to offspring.

  • Genetic variation can be caused by mutation (which can create entirely new alleles in a population), random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis (which reshuffles alleles within an organism's offspring).

  • Genetic Recombination : Is a process by which pieces of DNA are broken and recombined to produce new combinations of alleles. This recombination process creates genetic diversity at the level of genes that reflects differences in the DNA sequences of different organisms.

3. The 3 Types of Natural Selection

  • Stabilizing Selection.
  • Directional Selection.
  • Disruptive Selection.

  • Stabilizing selection : Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which the population mean stabilizes on a particular non-extreme trait value. This is thought to be the most common mechanism of action for natural selection because most traits do not appear to change drastically over time.

  • Directional Selection: In population genetics, directional selection, is a mode of negative natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes, causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of that phenotype.

  • Disruptive selection : Disruptive selection, also called diversifying selection, describes changes in population genetics in which extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values. In this case, the variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups.

Which of the following functions does the myelin sheath perform for a nerve cell?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

a. insulation  

Explanation:

The myelin sheath provides increased cell isolation (increased membrane resistance) because there are no membrane leakage channels in which there is myelin.

In addition to no membrane leakage channels, there is also virtually no type of membrane channel when there is myelin sheath (eg sodium and potassium pumps), which causes the cell a lower need for protein synthesis, or that is, less energy expenditure.
