Complete question:
Thinking creatively about evolutionary mechanisms, identify at least
two schemes that could generate allelic polymorphism in a population except natural selection that favors heterozygotes.
<u>Select the two correct answers.</u>
-inbreeding among individuals in the population
-purifying selection against mutational variants of alleles in the population
-continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
-mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity
-genetic drift of alleles common in the population
-events leading to genetic bottleneck effect
Answer:
The two events that might favor heterozygotes among the options are
- The Continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
- Mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity. These might favor heterozygous frequencies.
Explanation:
Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
All of the above are needed. Nucleotides are the basic building blocks of new DNA, ATP energy is needed because replication is an active process, and enzymes catalyze the reactions needed to carry it out (e.g. helicase to separate the strands to be replicated, DNA polymerase to build the new strands, and ligase to "glue" the fragments together).
Nitrogen fixation, N2 --> NH3+, is not something that plants to by themselves but some plants have bacteria that does this. I believe that pea plants have these, but I'm not 100% sure.
The answer is B.
It describes the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration accurately.
