Answer:
The number of habitats falls below a critical level.
Explanation:
The possible reason for extinction is that the number of habitats falls below a critical level. This makes it impossible for organisms to survive.
- A habitat is the dwelling place of living organism in an ecosystem.
- The resources and other materials that ensures the survival of an organism are made available in the habitat.
- When a habitat begins to thin out and can no longer support organisms, then extinction will ensue.
Its called <span>Heterozygous</span>
Answer:
C
Explanation:
If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.
There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.
Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.
C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.
Heterozygous parents would have the genotype Rr. In a punnett square, this would show a result of 25% homozygous dominant (RR) offspring, 25% homozygous recessive (rr) offspring, and 50% heterozygous (Rr) offspring.

Yes, that is true, is there something you wanted answered on this question?
