Suppose the size of a population of marmots is 300. According to genetic drift theory, what is the probability that a newly aris

en mutation will become fixed in this population? Select one:a. 1/1200b. 1/100c. 1d. 1/300e. 1/600

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

<h2>Axons </h2>

Explanation:

Axons cross from one side of the spinal cord to the other through the gray commisure

  • Each arm or extension of the gray matter in the spinal cord is referred to as a horn
  • Projecting towards the back of the spinal cord are the dorsal horns (or posterior horns)
  • Projecting towards the front are the ventral horns (or anterior horns)
  • In the thoracic and upper lumbar regions of the cord, an additional pair of side projections occur, which are called the lateral horns
  • A narrow band of gray matter known as the gray commissure stretches across of the center of the spinal cord and connects the two sets of horns
  • In the middle of the gray commissure is the central canal, which contains cerebral spinal fluid

After the completion of meiosis in humans, a diploid germ cell has produced cells with half the original chromosome number, gene
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: 23

Explanation:

After the completion of meiosis in humans, a diploid germ cell has produced cells with half the original chromosome number, generating 23 haploid nuclei.

Meiosis is cell division that reduces chromosome number by half. Hence, a diploid germ cell with 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) is halved to 23 nuclei at the end of meiosis, the 23 nuclei will be carried by the sex gamete

The following picture shows the three primary types of plate boundaries. Which boundary is being shown in label A? an arrow poin
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The label A corresponds to Convergent boundary zones  

Explanation:  

When two oceanic plates collide, it occurs oceanic convergence. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate, and at this point, it starts the volcanic activity. As the thicker plate descends, it is heated and melted and its materials are incorporated into the mantle. The fast subduction originates magma that ascends to the surface by crevices. This makes place to the formation of grouped <u>volcanic islands</u>, t<u>he island arches</u>. Subduction zones coincide with deep-sea <u>trenches</u> or depressions in the ocean bed. The volcanic islands are arranged in a circumference arch shape, which is bordered by a fossa. Most of these are located in the western Pacific, where the pacific crust is older and thicker, and hence it submerges easier in the mantle.
