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
A. into a climax community; species replaces another
B. and replaces another; ecosystem becomes stable
C. on unoccupied ground; biological community replaces another
D. and then fails; niche changes
E. intraspecific competition; experiences interspecific competition
Answer:
C. on unoccupied ground; biological community replaces another
Explanation:
Primary succession is a gradual change that occurs on bare rocks or areas that have no life existing on it before. It could take several years to be colonized by living things.
On the other hand, secondary succession are changes that occur when one biological community replaces another as a result of factors such as wild fires, or take place in abandoned farm land. New species of organisms take over the area that has life existing on it already. Secondary succession occurs on areas or land that has been colonized initially before.

Which of the following best explains the reactions of these enzymes?
A) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.
B) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.
C) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.
D) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.
The answer is A
Explanation:
In nature, MONOMERS are simpler units that come together to form larger units called POLYMERS. According to this question, Amylase converts carbohydrate polymers to monomers while Glycogen synthase converts carbohydrate monomers to polymers.
Monomers of carbohydrate are joined together by adding water molecule to form covalent bonds between the monomer units, hence, forming a POLYMER. This is how Glycogen synthase catalyzes its reaction of forming carbohydrate polymer (glycogen).
On the other hand, Amylase breaks down large polymer molecules into monomers by removing water molecules in a process called HYDROLYSIS. This breaks the covalent bond that holds the monomeric units together.
