Generation-to-generation change in the allele frequencies in a population is _____.

a. genetic drift b. natural selection c. macroevolution d. mutation e. Microevolution

Answer:

e. Microevolution

Explanation:

Microevolution refers to the small changes in the allele frequencies and the genotype frequencies of the populations. These changes occur over a few generations and deviate the populations from the genetic equilibrium.  

The processes responsible for microevolution are mutations, genetic drift, gene flow, etc. Similarly, sexual selection and nonrandom mating also change the allele frequencies of the populations. Likewise, natural selection brings about microevolution by increasing the frequencies of the alleles that impart the beneficial traits to the organisms.

Which is true regarding the TCA cycle (Krebs cycle)? A. pyruvate is an end product of the cycle B. energy capture in the cycle i
exis [7]

Answer:

D. some components of the cycle are used as building blocks for certain anabolic pathways

Explanation:

Kreb's cycle starts when pyruvate enters the cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The cycle completely breakdown acetyl CoA into CO2 and H2O. The released energy is stored in the form of NADH and FADH2 which enter oxidative phosphorylation to drive ATP synthesis. Kreb's cycle is an amphibolic pathway as it is involved in both catabolic and anabolic processes.

Some of the intermediates of Kreb's cycle serve as precursors for other anabolic pathways. For example, alpha-Ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate from Kreb's cycle enter the anabolic processes of synthesis of amino acids aspartate and glutamate respectively. Succinyl CoA from Kreb's cycle serves as one of the intermediates for the synthesis of porphyrin rings present in "heme" groups. The heme group is a structural and functional part of hemoglobin and myoglobin proteins.

The data in the graph are the result of a paramecium being placed in a hypertonic salt solution. A graph entitled Paramecium Con
Bond [772]

Answer:

  Replace the concentration descriptions with actual values

Explanation:

For results of this nature to mean much, they need to be able to be reproduced by a different experimenter. In order to be able to do that, the experimenter must be able to reproduce the salt concentrations. The graph would be more useful if it had the actual concentration values.

Consider an animal cell in which motor proteins in the kinetochores normally pull the chromosomes along the kinetochore microtub
anygoal [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is "yes, yes, no" or "B, B, A".

Explanation:

In the hypothetical situation stated in the question, an inhibitor blocks the function of the motor proteins in the kinetochore, but allows the kinetochore to remain attached to the spindle. The animal cells treated with this inhibitor would be able to elongate during mitosis, their sister chromatids would separate from each other but the chromosomes would not move to the poles of the cell. The inhibitor only action is to block the function of the motor proteins, and since the motor protein function is to move the chromosomes to the poles of the cells, this will be the only activity that will be affected during cell's mitosis.

Maria is concerned because she has been exposed to a small amount of radiation during an X-day . What is her doctor most likely
UNO [17]
If you're exposed to significant radiation, your thyroid will absorb radioactive iodine (radioiodine) just as it would other forms of iodine. The radioiodine is eventually cleared from the body in urine. If you take potassium iodide, it may fill "vacancies" in the thyroid and prevent the absorption of radioiodine.

From my knowledge I mostly think its Thalilacea

I think this because even though it can be Appendicularia too, Thalilacea has BOTH a tail and notochord in the adult stage
