if a population of oak trees has acorns with a circumference most commonly occurring at 2cm, what would you expect the most comm

on circumference to be after 15 generations of stabilizing selection?

The most common circumference to be expected in this situation is 2 cm.

Since it is given that the original population of oak trees contains acorns with the most common circumference of 2 cm, thus, the same circumference will be favored after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

Stabilizing selection occurs when natural selection results in stabilization i.e. large number of individuals attain mean or average value for a particular trait. In this process, phenotypes of medium-sized individuals are favored through natural selection.

Since it is already mentioned that the mean circumference is 2 cm in the original population thus the same value will be expected after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

The expression of a gene to form a polypeptide occurs in two major steps. What are these two steps in their correct chronologica
Katen [24]

two steps of expression of a gene in their correct chronological order are Transcription then translation.(option a)

The process by which information from a gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product that enables it to produce protein or non-coding RNA end products and ultimately affect a phenotype as the final effect is known as gene expression.

It comprises two significant stages: translation and transcription, Gene expression is made up of transcription and translation working together to form a polypeptide.

  • The production of RNA from DNA is known as transcription. The enzyme RNA polymerase acts as the catalytic agent.
  • The process by which a messenger RNA's genetic code is decoded to produce a particular polypeptide chain is known as translation. A particular amino acid is specified in each genetic code.

Describing Comparative Investi
kogti [31]

Answer:

Limitation of comparative investigation is that when it is done on a huge population, huge amount cost is required. Explanation: Benefit of comparative investigation is that we can get descrete information about specific breed or species. It is important for the study of behaviour of many organisms.

Explain what terms in the Hardy-Weinberg equation give: allele frequencies (dominant allele, recessive allele, etc.) each genoty
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg equation is presented below and describes that in a population the frequency of alleles ad genotypes will remain static or the same in the absence of evolutionary disturbances such as mutation, migration ( gene flow), natural selection and with the population large and random mating

p² +2pq + q²

where p represents the frequency of the dominant alleles

q represent the frequency of the recessive alleles

p² represent the frequency of the dominant homozygous genotype

q² represent the frequency of the recessive homozygous genotype

2pq represent the frequency of the heterozygous genotype

q² also represent the frequency of the recessive phenotype

(p² + 2pq) represent the frequency of the dominant phenotype
