Why are observations of meiotic drive and driver alleles relatively rare?

a. The selective advantage of drivers in heterozygotes is balanced by fitness loss in homozygotes.
b. Most driver alleles become rapidly fixed in populations.
c. Fitness advantages of driver alleles are too small to lead to an increase of the alleles in the population.
d. Most driver alleles arise in small populations and are rapidly lost by genetic drift.

We can calculate whether a reaction is spontaneous by calculating the change in free energy and accounting for

entropy. Your paycheck always lists your gross pay, net (take home) pay, and tax withholdings. Which of the following best correlates your paycheck to the changes in free energy?

a. gross salary = net salary - tax; total energy = free energy - entropy b. net salary = gross salary - tax; free energy = total energy - entropy c. tax = gross - net salary; entropy = total energy - free energy d. gross salary = tax - net salary; total energy = entropy - free energy e. net salary = gross salary + tax; free energy = total energy + entropy
