Why does natural selection act on phenotype rather than genotype of an organism?

Biology
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]3 years ago
8 0
By definition, the phenotype is the actual physical manifestation of an organism's genotype, so the way an organism looks or behaves is what is being selected on. For example, if ladybugs have red (R) shells or yellow (r) shells and ladybug-eating birds only eat the ones with red shells, any red-shelled ladybugs will be selected against based only on their phenotype. The birds do not know whether each bug is RR, Rr, of rr, so phenotype, not genotype, is what is affected by natural selection.

What color stripes does zebras have black and white or white and black?
sp2606 [1]

People believed that zebras were white animals with black stripes, since some zebras have white underbellies. Embryological evidence, however, shows that the animal's background color is black and the white stripes and bellies are additions.

1. Compare and contrast the functions of DNA and RNA.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

  • compare and contrast
  • DNA replication works
  • process of transcription

Explanation:

COMPARE AND CONTRAST:

DNA is a double-stranded molecule while RNA is a single-stranded molecule. DNA is stable under alkaline conditions while RNA is not stable. ...DNA and RNA base pairing is slightly different since DNA uses the bases adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine; RNA uses adenine, uracil, cytosine, and guanine

HOW IT WORKS:

How is DNA replicated? Replication occurs in three major steps: the opening of the double helix and separation of the DNA strands, the priming of the template strand, and the assembly of the new DNA segment. During separation, the two strands of the DNA double helix uncoil at a specific location called the origin.

PROCESS OF TRANSCRIPTION:

Transcription is the process in which a gene's DNA sequence is copied (transcribed) to make an RNA molecule. RNA polymerase is the maintranscription enzyme. Transcriptionbegins when RNA polymerase binds to a promoter sequence near the beginning of a gene (directly or through helper proteins).
