Natural and artificial selection depend on genetic and phenotypic variation. In natural selection, the selective pressure comes

from the environment, and in artificial selection it comes from the human breeder. Suppose a breeder of pigeons has a population of birds with feather pigments that range from light to intermediate to dark. She selectively breeds the pigeons with intermediate pigmentation. After several generations, which pattern of evolutionary change will be observed among the pigeons? A. disruptive selection, in which pigeons with dark pigmentation are favored. B. stabilizing selection, in which pigeons with intermediate pigmentation are favored. C. directional selection, in which pigeons with dark pigmentation are favored. D. directional selection, in which pigeons with intermediate pigmentation are favored.

<h2>B) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Natural selection is a selection pressure which operates in a population and allow the best fitted genotype to survive in changing environmental conditions and eliminate the other genotype which are not fit

In artificial selection, breeders select superior breed for the breeding purpose so that this type of selection favors the superior genotype and eliminates inferior genotype, thus leading to genetic drift

Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which intermediate genotype is favored but extreme genotypes (inferior and superior) are eliminated

In the given example of pigmentation in pigeons, breeding is selectively done with intermediate pigmentation hence intermediate genotypes will be favored

Can same enzyme have different kinetics for different substrates? What is the biological significance that?
ad-work [718]

An enzyme possesses different kinetics for different substrates as a result of this different products are formed.

Discussion:

  • Multi-substrate reactions are governed by intricate rate equations that specify how and in what order the substrates bind. If substrate B is altered while the amount of substrate A remains constant, the study of these reactions becomes considerably easier. The enzyme behaves exactly like a single-substrate enzyme in these circumstances, and a plot of v by [S] yields the actual KM and Vmax constants for substrate B.
  • These results can be utilized to determine the reaction's mechanism if a series of such measurements are carried out at various fixed concentrations of A. There are two different sorts of mechanisms for an enzyme that accepts two substrates, A and B, and converts them into two products, P and Q: ternary complex and ping-pong.

Why do you think pressurized seeds and spores are a beneficial adaption for these plants and fungi?
Annette [7]

It is a beneficial adaptation since the pressurized seeds and spores spread widely, helping the organism reproduce elsewhere.   In plants, it allows them to survive better by flinging the seeds far away so that their offspring don’t compete for food. For the fungus, it allows the parent to fling the spores into the grass so that when other animals eat them, the life cycle of the fungus continues on.  These may be dispersed by the wind.
