7 0

Answer:

Option D,  Number of limbs

Explanation:

Options for the question

a. Birth weight

b. Hair color

c. Number of offspring

d. Number of limbs

Solution

Variation within a species is caused due to genetic differences governed by varying allele frequencies and duet to environmental factors that somewhere effect the expression of the genetic potentials thereby causing phenotypic variation.  

Number of limbs is a physical characteristics, very unlikely governed by genetic variation. While factors such as hair color (grey, black, white etc.), height (tall, short, medium) etc. are governed by genetic variation as a result of which they have several phenotypic variations.

Hence, option D is correct

Allele frequency can change over time since natural selection and other
KonstantinChe [14]

These various variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. For instance, two alleles may occur at one specific locus, one of which codes for the cytosine base and the other for the thymine base. One copy of the human genome is inherited from each parent. We are hence referred to as diploid organisms.

<h3>What is Allele Frequency ?</h3>

The relative frequency of an allele at a certain locus in a population, represented as a fraction or percentage, is known as gene frequency or allele frequency. The percentage of chromosomes in the population that carry that allele relative to the whole population or sample size is what is being discussed.

The frequency of an allele in a population is referred to as its allele frequency. It is calculated by dividing the number of gene copies by the number of times the allele occurs in the population. All the copies of every gene in a population make up the gene pool of that population.

<h3>What is Allele ?</h3>

Leading textbooks on genetics and evolution define an allele as a different variation of the same sequence of nucleotides at the same location on a long DNA molecule. "The chromosomal or genomic location of a gene or any other genetic element is called a locus and alternative DNA sequences at a locus are called alleles.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

the order would be:

Carnivorous animal -> scavenger animal ---> autonomous living organism ---> decomposing organisms.

Explanation:

The lion would be the carnivore, the bird that eats the waste of dead meat would be the scavenger, the vegetable the autonomous, since it does not require an external energy source to live but synthesizes its own energy and finally the decomposers fulfill the function to decompose chemical compounds to give energy to the earth, which would be useful for the growth of other living organisms. This is how the chain meets the cycle of life.
