Sati [7]2 years ago

In this example of evolutionary development, we can see a selective advantage.
Developing of new characteristics, in this case, the spots on moth's wings is a part of the process of adaptation of organisms to their environment.
The new characteristics are acquired through mutations and natural selection filters the ones that are the most beneficial for the holder.
For example, a  mutation which results in moths having shorter wings is disadvantageous, because it makes the individual who possesses it less likely to survive and reproduce.
On the other hand, developing of spots that resemble eyes can be advantageous, since it enables the holder of the trait to be more successful and more likely to leave offspring.

What does it mean to say that an allele is "fixed" in the population?
Gemiola [76]
Alleles are the individual genes that give rise to certain characteristics in an organism.

When an allele is "fixed" to a population, this means that the characteristic will be constant & most likely will not change until the environment changes as well.

Like with arctic hare, the alleles that influence the color of their coats (white in the winter & brown in the spring/summer) will stay because any fur pattern other than the aforementioned characteristics with result in becoming someone else's food with the lack of camouflage.

Hope that helps!

The shape of a protein is primarily determined by
bulgar [2K]


The best answer is A.

The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure. The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids  in each polypeptide chain which make up a protein.

The sequence of amino acids is basically a list of amino acids that are linked to each other to form a chain which is known as a polypeptide chain.

The structure of the finished protein will depend largely on the first  (primary) chain of amino acids to be produced to make up that protein.
