Identify three types of natural selection for a polygenic trait.

Biology
1 answer:
kaheart [24]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A polygenic trait can be described as a physical trait which is influenced by more than one gene.

The three types of selection for a polygenic trait are:

1) Directional Selection: In a directional selection, one of the phenotype is favored in an ecosystem. As a result of this favoring, the allelic frequency changes and shifts in favor of this particular trait.

2) Stabilizing selection: It is a type of natural selection in which the intermediate trait is favored. The population carries a middle trait in abundance.

3) Disruptive Selection: Disruptive trait is a type of natural selection in which the traits on the extreme sides are favored. The intermediate traits are less favored.

Why arent descriptive investigation repeatable
trapecia [35]

n descriptive investigations, we still haven't formed any hypothesis yet so we seek information by asking question.


It's net repeatable because repeating the questions over and over again without any clue about what we want to seek is completely waste of time

During photosynthesis, plant cells take in water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen (O2). How is this different f
IceJOKER [234]
A. During aerobic respiration, cells take in O2 (Oxygen is an input of cellular respiration) and release CO2, H2O and ATP.

Cellular respiration equation (THIS IS VERY USEFUL :) ):
C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2 (Oxygen) = 6CO2 (Carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) + 36-38 ATP (energy)

NOTE: Inputs are the things going in, outputs are the things being produced. 

WHY THE OTHER ANSWERS ARE WRONG:
B. Not B because it mentions the process of fermentation which is anaerobic.

C. Not C because insulin has nothing to do with cellular respiration in particular but rather blood glucose level homeostasis 

D. Not D because although it is partially 'correct', the actual wording (inhaled /exhaled) is incorrect as H2O is produced not exhaled. ATP energy is also produced.

Which describes an oxidation reaction that occurs during cellular respiration?
Yuri [45]

Answer: <u>Option 4; Oxygen gains electrons and hydrogen to form water. </u>

Respiration is a process where glucose is used and energy is released stored in this molecule. Oxygen is used during respiration as well and it gains the electrons and hydrogen to form water. And, gain of electrons is an oxidation reaction. So answer is option 4.

Since, oxygen is consumed during respiration, option 1 is incorrect.

Loss of electrons is reduction, so option 2 is also incorrect.

Glucose is used in respiration, thus option 3 is incorrect.
