Answer:

Directional    

Explanation:

In population genetics, for natural selection to occur there must be a variation that will favor the survival of an individual.

Directional selection is a form of natural selection that occurs in the extreme end when an environment condition such as food favors one phenotype over the other.

This will make the allele Frequencies to shift towards the direction of the superior phenotype.

In the pedigree that is shown, which represents Irene's allele combination?
Greeley [361]

The red-green color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. The females are not affected unless both the X chromosomes have the affected allele. Mostly, the females are the carriers, and the males are affected as they have only one X chromosome. In the given pedigree, the father of Irene have the normal allele, while her mother is a carrier. However, Irene is neither a carrier nor affected. This means that she carries normal alleles on both X chromosomes. Hence, her allele combination is X^{H} X^{H} .

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

selective breeding; biotechnology

Explanation:

Selective breeding is a type of artificial selection that consists of crossing plants/animals with desirable and heritable phenotypic traits in order to increase the frequency of such traits in progeny. Selective breeding can be considered as one of the first biotechnological techniques applied by humans. In the past, the selective breeding technique has allowed obtaining domesticated animals (e.g., dogs from wild wolves) and domesticated crops from their wild ancestors (e.g., maize from its wild ancestor teosinte).
