Answer:
The options
a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness
b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance
c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness
d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance
e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift
The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.
b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance
Explanation:
In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.
It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)
of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.
Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
Answer:
Carbon, Oxygen, hydrogen , Nitrogen , and phosphorus.
Carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, and acids may all cause chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking a large rock into smaller pieces without changing the minerals in the rock. Mechanical weathering may be caused by frost, ice, plant roots, running water, or heat from the sun.
I can't really give you a percentage sorry. My answer is Possible, yes but probable, no.
