Populations have a genetic variation among individuals and that is important to the populations ability to survive in different situations that have an affect on the natural selection. There are different factors which can increase or decrease the genetic diversity, and influencing natural selection. These factors can include an environmental factor, one of the major factors, which can cause changes in the genetic variation of a population and influence the natural selection. A famous and important example of the environmental factors affecting natural selection was made during the industrial revolution when many more gray moths made up the moth population. This was so that they could blend in with the soot from factories to avoid predators.
Answer:
-Because membranes are fluid, membrane proteins and phospholipids can drift about in the membrane.
-The diverse proteins found in and attached to membranes perform many important functions.
-The framework of a membrane is a bilayer of phospholipids with their hydrophilic heads facing the aqueous environment inside and outside of the cell and their hydrophobic tails clustered in the center.
The probability is 1/16 that a gamete will receive only paternal chromosomes. In life
cycles that alternate between haploid and diploid stages, fertilization doubles
the number of chromosomes per cell, The pairing of chromosomes along
their lengths , which is essential for crossing over is referred to as synapsis
I) Alleles is the alternative form of a gene or in other terms the variant form of a gene. If there are two alleles at a locus p and q are used to represent their frequencies. Frequencies of all alleles in a population will add up to 1.
Therefore, in this case if red allele CW is p=0.7, then the frequency of the white allele in this population (q) is 0.3.
ii) From the punnet square the expected genotypes frequencies in the offspring generation will be 0.49 CRCR (red flowers, o.42 CRCW (pink flowers) and 0.09 CWCW (white flowers).
Answer:
They are building blocks for larger polysaccharide which are important in structural rigidity of cells.
Polysaccharides such as Starch and Cellulose which are instrumental in cell structure and rigidity are formed from chains of monosaccharides.
They are also useful in the provision of energy which is used in cell functions (metabolism).
Monosaccharides such as Glucose, Sucrose are useful in provision of energy for physical and metabolic activities of the body.
