Answer:

In the exceptionally cold winter of 1997, Lake Superior froze over between the Wisconsin mainland and Isle Royale. A pack of 8 wolves crossed the ice and reached Isle Royale, an island where they encountered a population of about a dozen wolves. It is estimated that the wolf population on Isle Royale has been isolated for over 100 years (~10 generations). The pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice would be referred to as <u>founder population</u> and if the wolves interbreed with the island population, <u>genetic drift</u> will occur.

Explanation:

The founder effect occurs when a portion of a population (i-e the founders) separates from the old population to start a new population with different allele frequencies. Hence the pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice would be referred to as <u>founder population</u> in the given scenario.

Genetic drift is defined as change in the allele frequencies in a population due to chance event. As in the given scenario, the pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice, interbreed with the island population, thus change in the allelle frequency is occuring in the population , hence <u>genetic drift</u> will occur.

The geocentric model, in all of its complexity, survived scientific scrutiny for almost 1400 years. However, in modern astronomy
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The geocentric model appealed to mans' vanity, being in the center of everything. Simply, it satisfied their self-thought thus leaving no room for questioning its validity.

Explanation:

The geocentric and heliocentric models were the two main models proposed on how our solar system is laid out. Geocentric, coming from the word 'geo' meaning earth and 'centric' being center said that the Earth was the center of our solar system and the rest of the planets rotated and revolved around it. This model appealed to mans' vanity, this theory was promoted by Egyptian mathematician, Ptolemy. This theory was incorporated into religious dogma thus creating false credit. Ptolemy's calculations were correct, but his assumptions were not: the earth was motionless, circular orbits for planets, all celestial bodies orbit the earth etc. This was until Keppler and Galielo proved him wrong with his assumptions giving rise to the valid, Heliocentric model where the sun is the center of our solar system, planets have elliptical orbits and other planets had bodies orbiting them.

In a paragraph of 125+ words, express your opinion regarding when it should be permissible for the rights of an individual to in
zvonat [6]
<span>The only time I think it should be allowed to disrupt another citizens group is when that persons group is promoting and acting upon ideas that interlope anothers happyness, property, or well being. I think if someone is wrong doing  something innocent then you have to wrong do them to put an end to it. So when they say "forget their rights" you gotta say "forget their rights". It should be completely an eye for an eye in an incident such as this one. Fighting fire with fire will only burn everything down but thats exactly what you want to happen when it comes to a matter such as this one.</span>

1. What is the approximate elevation of Wonderland Lake? Explain your reasoning.
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ans 1) The approximate elevation of wonderland lake is about 5500 feet, because it lies in the vicinity of the ridge where peak are having contour values upto 6600 feet and the wonderland lake lies on the lower contour of near about 5500 feet.

Ans 2) The peak elevation of poorman hill is 6485 feet as it can easily seen in the map that the highest contour value us 6485 feet. Poorman hill is lying in this contour value.

Ans 3) It is clearly seen and observed from the map that the elevation of the poorman hill is about 6485 feet where as the elevation of the boulder creek present at the south of poorman hill is less than 6000 feet. Thus poorman hill has higher elevation as compared to bank of boulder creek.
