Imagine an island archipelago where all of the islands are founded by individuals that are heterozygous at a particular locus. If there is no migration or mutation, and the alleles at that locus are neutral, what do you expect the island populations to look like after many generations?

a) Some island populations will have fixed one allele, and other populations will have fixed the other allele.
b) The populations on every island will have fixed the same allele.
c) The island populations will have high levels of genetic diversity at this locus.
d) We cannot assess the probability of any outcome because genetic drift is a random process.

a) Some island populations will have fixed one allele, and other populations will have fixed the other allele.

Explanation:

The founder population for each island is heterozygous for the locus. The absence of any migration and mutation would result in no gene flow or the introduction of new alleles of the locus. Over several generations, one or the other allele will be fixed in the populations depending on the adaptive features imparted by each under the different conditions present on these different islands. Genetic drift may also work on these small founder populations to randomly fix one or the other allele.

question: which statement best describes the different properties of metals?

answer: they are shiny and bend without breaking.

since metals have certain characteristics properties, they include the following: they are ductile, malleable, shiny, hard, lustrous, flexible and they are good conductor of heat and electricity. so therefore, metals are not dull and they are not non-flexible as listed. instead, they are shiny and flexible.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
