How does the large amount of genetic variation observed in prokaryotes arise? see concept 27.2 (page 576) view available hint(s)

how does the large amount of genetic variation observed in prokaryotes arise? see concept 27.2 (page 576) the mutation rate in prokaryotes is much higher than in eukaryotes. they have extremely short generation times and large populations. they can exchange dna with many types of prokaryotes by way of horizontal gene transfer. they have a relatively small genome. the second and third answers are correct?

The large amount of genetic variation observed in prokaryotes  arise due to: 
Prokaryotes have extremely short generation times and large populations and also that they can exchange DNA with many types of prokaryotes by way of horizontal gene transfer; the short generation times and large population sizes in most prokaryotic species, coupled with their ability to exchange genes, helps to increase genetic variability beyond what we would expect in asexually reproducing organisms.

Determine whether the description applies to landfills, incinerators, or both
kompoz [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. can generate energy – Both , In landfills methane gas is produced which is used to generate electricity, like wise heat energy produced in incinerator is also used for producing energy

2. emits toxins through combustion – Incinerators produce dioxins which is a dangerous chemical

3. drains liquids into the ground – Land fill, leachate is a common issue with all landfill site.  

4. releases greenhouse gases – Both, methane and other carbon gases are produced in both landfill and incinerators

5. requires a substantial amount of land – land fill site , needs a large land to dump the city waste

6. generate ash – Incenerator only

In Kerr and Wright's experiment with 96 fruit-fly populations, only 4 males and 4 females bred in each generation. After 16 gene
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.
