Answer:
The correct option is;
Glaciers that once covered South Africa have melted and can no longer form.
Explanation:
The Karoo Supergroup that formed hundres of millions of year ago covered the most part of South Africa. The Tillite debris from melting glaciers, in Dwyka Tillite are located at the bottom layers of the Karoo Supergroup, which is an indication that millions of years ago, South Africa was under extensive glacier coverage formed during the movement of the continent past the South Pole
The eventual arrival of the continent to temperate regions away from the South Pole resulted in the melting of the glaciers from which a huge swamp was formed.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.
For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.
Answer:
p = 0.34
Explanation:
The green allele is recessive, meaning two copies of q (qq) are required to be green. Conversely, animals that are either pp or pq will be blue.
If 44 organisms are green, that means 44 are qq.
For genotype frequencies, the equation is:
homozygous dominant genotype + heterozygous + homozygous recessive = 100%
Which is denoted as
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
We know that q² = 44/100 = 0.44
To work out q, we can do
= 0.66
For allele frequencies, the total must add up to 100%, so
p + q =1
We know that q= 0.66
So p = 0.34, because 0.66 + 0.34 = 1
Answer:
The correct answer is b) asexually reproducing organisms, but not sexually reproducing organisms, pass all mutations to their offspring.
Explanation:
In asexually reproducing organisms all the mutation is passed to the offspring so the offspring are identical to the parents. Daughter cells contain all the genes that are present in the parent, therefore, in asexually reproducing organisms mutation leads to more evolutionary change.
In sexual reproduction, the offspring get half genes from male parents and half from female parent so a parent does not pass all the mutation in the offspring and in sexual reproduction selection pressure eliminate those offspring that have bad mutation so that the wrong mutation can not pass to next generation.
Therefore the correct answer is b.
