1 answer:

This has to do with SURFACE TO VOLUME RATIO. For a typical small cell, its surface area to the volume ratio get smaller as the cell grows. This implies that, if the cell grows beyond a certain limit, then the amount of nutrients that entered the cell will be limited, that is , nutrients will not be able to migrate into the cell as needed. To avoid this, the cell has to divide to reduce its surface to volume ratio.<span />

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

Lithosphere

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Lithosphere is the solid outer part of the earth which includes the brittle upper portion of the crust and the mantle. It is bounded by the asthenosphere below and the atmosphere above.
<em><u>The pressure in the lithosphere is about 109 gigapascals or GPa. </u></em>
<em><u>Asthenosphere has a pressure of about 18 GPa</u></em>
<em><u>The mantle is a layer between the outer core and the crust, it has a pressure of about 149 GPa.</u></em>

Polygenic characteristics are disproportionately affected by natural selection.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The natural selection on polygenic traits affects selection.

Explanation:

The natural selection process allows changes in frequencies of alleles in a character that is determined by single gene. The polygenic characteristics are disproportionately affected by natural selection as natural selection affect the phenotype distribution.

This occurs in three ways that are disruptive selection, stabilizing and directional selection.
