Answer:
Positive natural selection.
Explanation:
The positive natural selection is a type of natural selection that increases the frequency of an allele or trait when it is advantageous for the population. What happened in the example is that the mouth with the slight change in morphology (trait) was more advantageous for the population in the south in relation to the ancestral morphology (still preserved in the population in the north), and therefore its frequency increased. This, in turn, is due to the fact that the food (prey) is not the same in the two habitats (north and south). The specific prey in the south, caused the new morphology to be selected, (increasing the frequency of individuals with the new mouth), becasue probably that trait allows the trouts in the south to hunt more effectively.
100 centimeters make up one meter
Answer:
b. the bottleneck effect.
Explanation:
The bottleneck effect occurs when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. This will result in a very reduced genetic variation, which can lead to further adaptation problems.
The Founder effect has its similarities (in terms of the resulting reduced genetic pool) with the bottleneck effect, BUT it occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle in population genetics that states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next IF certain conditions are present (no migration, aleatory mating, among others), so this is not the answer.
Genetic drift (refers to the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms, so it is not the answer.
C. it determines which protein molecules to synthesize.
B I think is the answer sorry if I’m wrong
