Answer:

a. Disruptive selection

Explanation:

Imagine there is a population of  red-colored, white colored,  and green colored wings butterflies on  a red- petals, green leaves hibiscus flower plants.

Generally the  red-colored wings will be camouflaged by the red-colored  hibiscus flower petals, while the green color of the leaves will masked the green colored butterflies.Therefore the white-colored butterflies will be exposed to predators and therefore selected against by environmental pressure leading to disruptive selection.

<u>Consequently in the  butterfly population,  there is  increased genetic variation in  red and green butterflies population ,  with consequent population diverse.</u>

<u />

Therefore when an extreme value for a trait(red and green wings colors) is  favoured for intermediate trait (white).The term that describes this is called Disruptive selection. One of the naturally selected  wings may  migrate from the population leading to speciation.

Answer: A- Disruptive selection

Explanation: Disruptive selection increases genetic variation as the population begins to be more different when selection existing in nature chooses multiple phenotypes reaching the highest degree which each have particular benefits. However, they tend to make single-celled life form that has interposed characteristics to produce smaller offspring while allowing the organisms that have the highest degree of characteristics to produce more offspring.

True or False: <br><br> The first step in glycogen synthesis is the phosphorylation of glucose.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

<u>The first step in glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) is the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate</u>, which is catalyzed by hexokinase. [This step is also the first step in the glycolytic pathway]. Glucose-6-phosphate is then isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by the action of phosphoglucomutase. This glucose-i-phosphate is then converted to glycogen by glycogen synthase.

Patients with osteoporosis often suffer _________ fractures of the vertebral bodies due to loss of bone mass. spiral
OleMash [197]
Patients with osteoporosis often suffer compression fractures of the vertebral bodies due to loss of bone mass. Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become weak and at a risk of being fractured. It occurs when the bone mass decreases after mostly 35 years of age. It mostly occurs in women after menopause due to a reduction in estrogen.
