The answer to your question is D) punctuated equilibrium.

The theory of Punctuated Equilibrium states that extremes in the environment cause sudden evolution; a long period of time precedes the sudden evolutionary changes.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Punctuated Equilibrium

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>According to the theory of punctuated equilibrium organisms are in stasis until a major change causes evolutionary pressures, which will result in a rapid burst of speciation until the stasis is reached again.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Based on this theory, when species occur in a fossil record, then the population will become stable, thus showing little evolutionary change for the geological history.</u></em>
  • <em><u>In this case, based on the theory of punctuated equilibrium all of the oak species in Georgia appeared suddenly from one common ancestor, over a short period of time, due to some extreme environmental changes, and that since that time, they have not changed much.</u></em>

Below is a picture of a tomato plant. It is a multicellular organism with many parts that work together to keep the plant alive.
galben [10]

Answer:

1. Roots: anchor the plant in soil and absorb water and minerals

2: Stem: Holds the plant upright and bear leaves, branches and fruits.

3. Leaves: Carry out photosynthesis to make food for other plant parts.

4. Flower: serves as organ of reproduction to maintain the continuity of the species.

Explanation:

1. Roots: The cells of roots are specialized to penetrate the soil deep to anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals for nutrition of plants.

2: Stem: The cells of stem impart mechanical strength to keep the plant upright and bear leaves, branches and fruits.

3. Leaves: Cells of leaves have chlorophyll pigment to carry out photosynthesis to make food for other plant parts.

4. Flower: Some of the cells of flowers produce male and female gametes that fuse leading to seed formation. Seed germination maintains the continuity of the species.

For a gene that determines wing color in butterflies, there are three possible genotypes: BB (blue wings), bb (white wings), and
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer: The frequency of the b allele is calculated as follows: since there are 2 alleles in each organism, total number of genes is 200. The number of white alleles is 10*2+30 (since there are 2 copies of the alleles in white organisms and 1 copy of the b allele in the white wings with blue blotches). So the total number of white alleles is 20+30=50 white alleles. The frequency of the white allele is then 0.25. So the frequency of the blue allele is 1-0.25=0.75. Since heterozygous term is 2*p*q, the frequency of the Bb genotype is 2*0.25*0.75=0.375. Hope that helped!
