Answer:
The population suffered a genetic bottleneck, which decreased genetic variation and thereby randomly increasing the frequency of harmful alleles
Explanation:
A population bottleneck, also known as genetic bottleneck, can be defined as a drastic reduction in the size of a population, which may be caused by anthropic activity and/or environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, famines, fires, droughts, etc). A genetic bottleneck leads to a reduction in genetic variability within a population. Moreover, the genetic drifit caused by a genetic bottleneck can also increase the frequency of harmful alleles/mutations (it is due to the random sampling of individuals), thereby increasing the frequency of deleterious alleles/mutations in the population.
Answer:
Explanation:
Narrow sense heritability - h2
selection differential - S
Selection differential is calculated from the difference between the population average and the parental population.
Breeder's equation:
Response to selection - R = h2S
Mean milk production of 10% cows for experiment = 8.9L/hr
Mean milk production of parental population = 5.1L/hr
Selection differential S= 8.9 - 5.1 = 3.8 L/hr
Response to selection = 0.587 × 3.8 = 2.23
Answer:
Sea urchins have a unique relationship of oxygen and carbon-di-oxide.
Explanation:
Sea Urchins spread oxygen in a unique way. They take in oxygen by staying inside water. Oxygen enters the body through their gills and tubed feet. CO2, which is waste is released through the anus. They get oxygen only through diffusion, i.e. diffusion of oxygen into the organism. Oxygen diffuses in body through the canals and carbon dioxide diffuses back into the canals. Urchins also have the capability to cope up with rising CO2 levels in the sea.
Answer:
Both the PKA and IP3 levels increases. Hence, the correct answer is a and b.
Explanation:
Forskolin refers to a drug that increases the levels of cAMP or cyclic AMP by stimulating the enzyme adenylyl cyclase. The cAMP is an essential secondary messenger that ensures proper biological response of cells to hormones and other signals and also takes part in communication between the cells.
When Forskolin increases the levels of cAMP, it will stimulate the enzyme PKA or protein kinase A and at the same time also enhances the intracellular concentration of Ca2+ and IP3 (inositol 1,2,5 triphosphate).
Answer:
Producers
Explanation:
They are the food for the consumers.
