A metapopulation is a group of separate, in ecology, it is a regional or group of connected populations of species. It is an isolated population that has individuals occasionally disperse between the habit islands. Bighorn sheep are found in dry desert mountains of Southeastern California. A result of morphometric measurements and protein and mtDNA analysis, Ramey recommended that only Desert Bighorn Sheep and the Sierra Nevada population would only be recognized as a separate species.

Savatey [412]
The answer is alleles.  In addition, the phenotype of an organism is the physical look resulting from the expression of the genes present. The principle of segregation states that substitute alleles for a trait discrete from one another throughout gamete formation and keep on distinct. A diploid organism that has two alike alleles for the same trait is named homozygous for that particular trait.

Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Give examples.
Pepsi [2]
Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.

-DNA is the blueprint for proteins, which play many roles in the body. PROTEINS play many roles in the body and determine many traits. The section of DNA that codes for a specific trait is called a GENE. In fruit flies, straight wings are dominant and curly wings are recessive.
