Answer 2

the answer is not there, i just came from there ._.

Answer 3

Hi Tributized - The correct answer is a small population size. One of the defining characteristics of the Hardy-Weinberg principle is a limited population size.

Answer 4

Thanks.

Answer 5

@Atam , why u say it is small population size

Answer 6

in a hardy weinberd principle, the population need to be big!!! plz show u why u think the population is small

Answer 7

The correct answer is random mating, that means each allele has a equal chance to mate with another allele

The rest of the options give u variations in alleles frequencies!!!

Answer 8

I can give you a more detail explanation if u need to
that's why you always need to ask "why" for the answer given
If it is wrong, it might actually screw u over

Answer 9

._. good thing i didn't turn it in yet.
i thought it was right because i just read something about population.

Answer 10

You're right CMKC 109! I mis-read the question! A small population size would be a huge problem because the population has to be large enough to minimize random sampling errors. Please have my medal back :(

Answer 11

It's alright xD

Answer 12

no problem , it's good to try to answer questions :) and good that u know the right answer now :)

Answer 13

do u mind answering two more questions?

Answer 14

sure if i know the answer :)

Answer 15

but better if u open a new post

Answer 16

Gee, I'm not sure I should answer any more! Maybe I need a nap!

Answer 17

haha

Answer 18

Why do new species evolve more rapidly after a mass extinction?

Few organisms survive, which allows the remaining organisms to reproduce rapidly.

Mutations increase during mass extinctions, which then increase the rate of evolution.

Ecological niches become available for organisms to evolve into by adaptive radiation.

There is a lot more food available, so the remaining organisms are able to flourish.

Answer 19

other one is

Species of anteaters in Australia, Africa, and South America are not closely related. However, they share similar characteristics that they use to eat ants and termites, including a long sticky tongue, large salivary glands, and a rugged stomach. This is an example of

punctuated equilibrium because one species evolved into several related species over a short period of time.

convergent evolution because different species developed similar adaptations to similar environments.

adaptive radiation because one species evolved into several different forms that occupy different niches.

coevolution because the evolving anteaters evolved together to interact with the changing environment.

Answer 20

Few organisms survive, which allows the remaining organisms to reproduce rapidly.

Answer 21

hmm u sure it's not ecological niches?

Answer 22

well, extinction involves competition between 2 species (can be more than 2)
so extinction is usually when 1 species is driven out, then the rest with a better traits will reproduce quickly

Answer 23

but i'm not strongest in evolution, still learning it , so it will be better if u can post up as a new question so more people can help u

Answer 24

well ok
thanks for answering :)

Answer 25

and the 2nd one, i believe is convergent evolution
same trait but not related

Answer 26

they live in similar environment which causes them to evolve in similar traits, even if they are not related

Answer 27

yup you're right

Answer 28

yup
