Explanation:
Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.
In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.
The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.
The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.
The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.
Hi!! I was wondering if you could somehow include the graph for the first question, that would really help me in being able to help you!
Multifactorial disorder
Multifactorial disorders are
disorders that involve variations in multiple genes joined with environmental
causes. Diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity are multifactorial
disorder as they do not have single genetic cause but are caused by a
combination of environmental factors and life style with mutations in multiple
genes.
