A population of tree salamanders is highly variable in color and blends easily with the surrounding, colorful vegetation. After

a factory upstream impacts their environment, several species of trees die off and only those with one color of leaf and flower are left. Within several generations, the salamander population has reduced variability in color.

Answer:

This is an example of directional selection.

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of positive selection where the evolutionary fitness of one genotype is higher compared to the other ones, thereby favoring the selection of one particular phenotype and shifting allele frequencies towards the selected genotype. In a biological context, the directional selection increases the chances for surviving and for reproducing in those organisms that have the alleles favored by this type of selection. Thus, the directional selection produces the loss of genetic variability and leads to the fixation of the dominant alleles.

mixer [17]

Answer:

e. HIV envelope proteins bind to host cell receptor and coreceptor.

g. Host cell engulfs HIV particle, and enzymes remove viral protein coat.

a. Reverse transcriptase synthesizes DNA complementary to viral RNA.

f. Double-stranded DNA is incorporated into host cell's DNA.

d. Viral genes are transcribed, and translation produces viral proteins.

b. Viral proteins assemble around viral RNA and reverse transcriptase.

c. New viruses acquire an envelope as they exit the host cell by exocytosis.

Explanation:

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a retrovirus (genus Lentivirus) whose genetic material is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA. HIV is known to infect HIVcells of the human immune system such as, for example, macrophages, T cells, dendritic cells, etc., eventually leading to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Within host cells, the HIV genome is reverse transcribed into DNA by using a specific enzyme called reverse transcriptase. Then, this DNA is integrated into the genome of the host cell, replicating when the host cell replicates. Moreover, the integrated HIV genome can also be transcribed to produce RNA and proteins capable of infecting new cells.
