The correct option is (D) Nucleotide variability and average heterozygosity

The higher the proportion of loci that are "fixed" in a population, the lower are that population's nucleotide variability and average heterozygosity.

<h3>What does it indicate when a gene in a population is fixed?</h3>
  • In population genetics, fixation is the transformation of a gene pool from one in which at least two alleles of a certain gene exist in a given population to one in which only one allele persists.
  • Any allele must eventually be lost entirely from the population or fixed (permanently established at 100% frequency in the population) in the absence of mutation or the heterozygote advantage.
  • Selection coefficients and random variations in allelic proportions determine whether a gene will ultimately be lost or fixed. Fixation may relate to a specific nucleotide location in the DNA chain or a gene in general (locus).

Why might introduction of exotic species disrupt and ecosystem?
Tanya [424]
Exotic species do not have a niche in the ecosystem that they are in. Therefore they take up resources that native species rely on to survive. Exotic species also have no natural predators in that environment causing them to flourish and multiply quickly.
