In a species of fish, fin shape is controlled by a single gene that has only two alleles. In a generation of 185 fish, the frequ

ency of the recessive allele is 0.25. After six generations, the recessive allele frequency in a population of 230 fish is 0.43. Which of the following does this most likely indicate about the dominant and recessive alleles?
The dominant allele is more advantageous than the recessive allele because it produces larger populations.
The dominant allele will disappear entirely as the recessive allele increases in frequency.
The recessive allele is easier to transmit than the dominant allele during reproduction.
The recessive allele produces a phenotype that is better able to survive and reproduce than the dominant phenotype.

The correct answer is: The recessive allele produces a phenotype that is better able to survive and reproduce than the dominant phenotype.

Natural selection (adaptation mechanism), gene flow, and mutation combine to change allele frequencies across generations. Natural selection tends to increase in frequency beneficial alleles, while it tends to decrease in frequency deleterious alleles.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The correct option is B. The stage of a virus where it is activated to perform the function for which it was intended is referred to as the triggering phase.

Explanation:

The life cycle of a virus consists of the following stages:

The Dormant phase:

In this phase, the virus doesn't take any action. It just manages to get into the system or software.

The Propagation phase

In this phase, the virus makes copies of itself.

The Triggering Phase

In this phase, the virus performs its function.

The Execution Phase

In this phase, the destruction made by the virus can be seen.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

a. they can fix carbon at the lower CO2 concentrations that develop when the stomata are closed

Explanation:

C4 plants are those that have the capacity to fix CO2 even when a tiny concentration of it is available.

Desert condition is characterized by dryness and strong heat with both condition capable of creating water stress in plant as a result of evapotranspiration. In order to reduce evapotranspiration rate, desert plants (most C4 plants) close their stomata during the day.

<em>Stomata closure limit the diffusion of CO2 into desert plants and the small concentration of CO2 that results is utilized by a special enzyme in the plants.</em>

The correct option is a.
