Is selection more effective against recessive alleles in haploid or diploid organisms?

1 answer:

3 0

The selection of more effective which is against recessive alleles in haploid organisms than diploid organisms. This is because haploid organisms contain a single set of alleles if a deleterious allele is present in haploid organisms which will produce its effect immediately as there will be no dominant allele which can prevent the expression of the recessive allele as it happens in diploids. Recessive allele will not produce its effect in presence of the dominant allele in the case of heterozygote which is Aa.
Where there is haploid the selection will be more effective when removing recessive alleles in the population. It is the homozygous recessive condition which as aa then the selection will act against recessive alleles.

What is the last structure of the air passageway in your lungs

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Bronchioles

Explanation:

You inhale through your nose and the air is filtered. It goes down the pharynx. It goes through the larynx. A "door" called the epiglottis opens during breathing. Then it enters the trachea. (windpipe) It goes through the bronchus. The tertiary bronchi branch into fine tubules called bronchioles, the last passageways for air. Air ends its pathway in the ________. (I bet you can guess because you're so smart!) They're surrounded by capillaries that connect the pulmonary arteries and veins. This enables the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

I hope this helped!!! Good luck on the test/quiz/project/homework/etc. you're working on! If you want I can give you a l!nk to the article I used. If not, it's fine too. Have a great day!
