The Channel Islands are a series of small islands off the California coast. Each island has a genetically distinct population of foxes. Compare the population of foxes on one of these islands to the population of foxes in the forests of mainland California. Which is more likely to be impacted by genetic drift? Which is more likely to be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

The fox population on the Islands experiences genetic drift  whereas foxes in the forests has Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

Explanation:

The fox population on the Islands experiences genetic drift because there is no chance of introduction of different type of foxes in these Islands which experiences less variation in the population of already existing foxes. Genetic drift is the change that occur in the frequency of an existing gene allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms. Genetic drift may cause gene variants to disappear completely with the passage of time which leads to reduce genetic variation. The foxes that is located in the mainland forest experiences Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

many phylogenetic trees have a single lineage at the base representing a common ancestor. a lineage that evolved early from the root and remains unbranched is called basal taxon. when two lineages stem from the same branch point, they are called sister taxa.

can i get the brainliest pls

explanation:

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
