Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is B) Advantageous traits become more common in a population.

Theory of natural selection was given by Darwin. This is one of the mechanisms of evolution.

According to this theory, organisms that are better adapted to their environmental conditions survive and increase their population by reproduction. So they pass the advantageous trait to the next generation. In other words, it reflects the survival of the fittest.

Due to this, the advantageous trait becomes more common in the population.

Thus, the correct option is B)

Tomtit [17]
Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins, are proteins manufactured by the body that help fight against foreign substances called antigens. When an antigen enters the body, it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. (The immune system is the body's natural defense system.) The antibodies attach, or bind, themselves to the antigen and inactivate it.<span>

In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fr
juin [17]

Correct option(s):

(b) This muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) This muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.

A dominant allele is one that is capable of expressing itself even in the heterozygous condition and overshadows the effect of the recessive allele. It is usually denoted by a capital letter. Recessive allele on the contrary cannot express in presence of a dominant allele and is denoted by a small letter.

In the given case the fruit with a sour taste (phenotype) can have two possible genotypes (FF and Ff). The genotype of sweet taste is ff which is a homozygous condition.  

Note: Your question is incomplete, probably your complete question is “In a group of muskmelon plants, some individuals have sour fruit and others have sweet fruit. in this group, the gene for the fruit taste trait has two alleles. the allele F is for sour fruit, and the allele f is for sweet fruit. a certain muskmelon plant from this group has sweet fruit. this plant has two alleles for sweet fruit. Choose the correct option:

(a)  this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste trait is sweet fruit.

(b) this muskmelon plant's genotype for the fruit taste gene is ff.

(c) this muskmelon plant is homozygous for the fruit taste gene.”

Inga [223]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) Scientific paradigm</em>

Explanation:

The scientific paradigm focuses on the infection and the microorganism for the occurrence of the infection. A scientific paradigm also refers to the treatment of these infections through pharmaceutical or surgical approaches. Hence, option B is correct.

Other options, like option A, is not correct because a holistic paradigm focuses on the connection between the mind, body and the soul. Option C is false because the analytical paradigm is not a part of the major health belief system.
