Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

When humans dig-up fossil fuels and burn them to power the modern world, carbon flows between which two reservoirs of the carbon
Luda [366]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

When humans dig-up fossil fuels and burn them to power the modern world, <u>carbon flows between the Geosphere/lithosphere and the atmosphere.</u>

Both the geosphere and the atmosphere represent important reservoirs of carbon. The digging-up of fossil fuels, otherwise known as exploration, is carried out in the geosphere or the lithosphere part of the earth. For example, crude oil is obtained deep from the ground. When the fuels are burned, they release carbon in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

<em>Hence, it can be concluded that carbon flows from the geosphere/lithosphere part of the earth to the atmospheric portion of the earth when fossil fuels are burned.</em>

The correct option is B.

Anika [276]
The sodium levels increase inside the cell during action potential. Opposite to resting state, depolarization is the shift of electrical charge resulting in positive charge inside the cell. Depolarization is the start of cell-to-cell communication and other necessary physiological functions of an organism.
