Answer:
a. Directional selection favors one end of the phenotype distribution, whereas
stabilizing selection favors intermediate over extreme phenotypes
Explanation:
Directional selection is called directional because it favors one phenotype over another, and stabilizing selection finds a balance between phenotypes.
Answer:
No
2. Yes
Explanation:
This is because DNA undergo transcription to produce RNA and RNA undergo translation to produce protein. Translation is the process where mRNA molecule is used as a template to produce protein.
RNA undergo mutation more than DNA and this is because the enzymes found in RNA viruses and participate in copying viral genomes is why it occur so. These enzymes does not have the abilities to recognize DNA damage that enzymes in most organisms have.
A polymer is made up of monomers. A monomer is a unit that occurs in repetitive chains. Lipids do not occur in repetitive chains, so they are not classified as monomers. Since they're not monomers, they can't make up polymers, either.
Answer:
Four conditions are required for evolution to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individuals among the members of the observed population.
