svetlana [45]

Answer:

The options

a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness

b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance

c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness

d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance

e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift

The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.

b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance

Explanation:

In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.

It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)

of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.

Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.

What is nitrogen cycle and, what things need the nitrogen cycle and why is it important?
lapo4ka [179]

Explanation:

So plants need nitrogen to make their proteins (proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and small amounts of sulfer).

Unfortunately, the nitrogen in the atmosphere is inert (unreactive).

But there are still other ways to get nitrogen:

1. Lightning. It causes some of the nitrogen to combine with oxygen, forming nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain and are washed into the soil where they form nitrates.

2. Artificial fertilizers. There are literally ammonium compounds and nitrates in those bags that people sell.

3. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria. So there is bacteria in the soil that live in root nodules on plants.

What do they do?? They use nitrogen from air spaces in the soil and combine it with other subsrances to make ammonium ions and other compounds.

4. Nitrifying bacteria. They turn ammonium ions into nitrates, which plants can use again. (so basically they serve nitrogen dish to the plant)

They convert the nitrogen containing substances into BETTER nitrogen containing substances for the plant

5. Denitrifying bacteria. FINALLY these bacteria turn nitrates and ammonia in the soil into nitrogen gas, which goes back to the atmosphere.

And the cycle goes on from the start...

Note that 1-3 are just ways in which nitrogen can be converted into a more reactive form.

I Hope this helps

Tyrahn’s rods do not transform light into nerve impulses as easily and efficiently as they should, so he has difficulty seeing i
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

This is called Night blindness.

Explanation:

It is also known as nyctalopia and is a vision impairment. this happens when the rods in the eyes do not transform light into the nerve impulses efficiently and easily than normal. As a result you will be having hard time seeing in dark places where there is only minimal light.

This is can be caused by cataracts, nearsightedness, usher syndrome or deficiency of vitamin A. These can be cured by certain procedures. To prevent developing this eye problem, it is important to take care of your eyes. you should monitor sugar levels and eat the right foods. foods that are abundant in vitamin A and other antioxidants would in preventing it.
