Genetic Drift There are two types of genetic drift‚ the bottleneck effect and the founder effect. Genetic drift is a term that refers to changes in allele frequencies. These changes happen by chance and cannot be predicted. Let’s look at both types of genetic drift. The first genetic drift type we will look at is the bottleneck effect. Genetic drift can affect real world organisms through a mechanism called a population bottleneck. This is when a large population is slashed and

Comprehension: Individual Differences in Working Memory Marcel Adam Just and Patricia A. Carpenter Carnegie Mellon University A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed. The theory proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals. Individual differences in working memory capacity for language can account for qualitative and quantitative differences among college-age

The gel electrophoresis results confirm that the inserts were successfully cloned into the expression vector based on the identical fragment position of each cut candidate in the gel. The fragment sizes of the both cut candidates produced on the gel when compared to the DNA ladder were larger‚ at roughly about 6000 base pairs and 6800 base pairs‚ than the predicted size of 2315 and 3119 base pairs. The fragment size of the three control candidates in wells numbered four‚ five‚ and six align with the

Genetic Engineering Do you think that Genetic engineering is a positive step in our development? Many people think that genetic engineering is the next step in the evolution of humanity and has many benefits. However‚ genetic engineering presents unprecedented ethical and social concerns‚ such as damaging nature‚ limiting human autonomy and risking to human health. First of all‚ genetic engineering can cause widespread crop failure affecting the natural environment. Nowadays‚ many people think

Concept Check 14.1 C O N C E P T C H E C K 14.1 1. Pea plants heterozygous for flower position and stem length (AaTt) are allowed to selfpollinate‚ and 400 of the resulting seeds are planted. Draw a Punnett square for this cross. How many offspring would be predicted to have terminal flowers and be dwarf? (See Table 14.1.) 1. According to the law of independent assortment‚ 25 plants (1⁄16 of the offspring) are predicted to be aatt‚ or recessive for both characters. The actual result is likely
