(t/f) calcite makes rocks very resistant to chemical weathering a) true b) false

Which of the following factors would not contribute to allopatric speciation? a) a population becomes geographically isolated from the parent population.b) the separated population is small, and genetic drift occurs.c) the isolated population is exposed to different selection pressures than the ancestral population.d) different mutations begin to distinguish the gene pools of the separated populations.e) gene flow between the two populations is extensive.

In a population that is in hardy-weinberg equilibrium, there are two possible alleles for a certain gene, a and a. if the frequency of allele a is 0.4, what fraction of the population is heterozygous? a. 0.40 b. 0.60 c. 0.16 d. 0.48

Part a - which gene to compare? in this exercise, you will use the cytochrome c oxidase i (coi) gene to investigate relationships among salmon species. (this gene encodes a protein that functions in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.) you will compare the coi gene sequences from your salmon test samples to the standard sequences for each salmon species. in order for the coi gene to be useful for distinguishing among the different salmon species, which three statements must be true?
