During drought years, seeds with thin coats are more likely to desiccate (dry out) and not be able to germinate

Biology

Directional selection favors one of the extreme phenotypes. Option B). Fewer plants with thin seed coats will be able to germinate, leading to a higher proportion of plants that produce seeds with thick seed coats.

<h3>What is directional selection?</h3>

Directional selection increases in the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait.

There must be a selective pressure or environmental pressure acting on populations to lead the species to increase the number of individuals expressing that extreme phenotype.

This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which interactions between living organisms and the environment modify in the same direction.

In the exposed example the environmental pressure is drought during several years.

Drought periods decreases the fitness of plants that produce thin seed coats because they dehydrate before germinating.

Originally the population expressed both types of seeds. But after the drought pressure, only plants that produce seeds with thicker coats got to survive and reproduce.

The correct option is B). Fewer plants with thin seed coats will be able to germinate, leading to a higher proportion of plants that produce seeds with thick seed coats.

Which sentences describe the differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration
katrin [286]
The difference is that photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts and cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Another difference is the reactants for photosynthesis are different than the reactants for cellular respiration. One more difference is in photosynthesis you capture Energy from the sun and change it into food and cellular respiration is the process by which cells use oxygen to break down food and produce.

erastova [34]

The sets of alleles for each parent are Dm for the mother and DM, Dm, dM, and dm for the father. This information is fundamental for estimating genotype and allele frequencies in offspring.

<h3>What are alleles?</h3>

Alleles are gene variants for a given gene <em>locus</em>, diploid organisms inherit two alleles for each locus (one from each parent).

Gametes are germinal (haploid) cells that carry specific allele combinations.

The analysis of gamete combinations is fundamental to estimate genotypes and allele frequencies.
