Answer:
Fitness or aptitude
Explanation:
Aptitude (or fitness) is the genotype/phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate. It is a way of measuring the individual ability to leave fertile offspring.
Aptitude puts together everything that matters in natural selection. Includes the survival capability, finding a mate partner possibility, producing fertile descendants, and leaving the genes to the next generation. The aptitude of a genotype must be significant for natural selection to act in its favor.
1. C) Both parents contributed a recessive allele
The offspring is homozygous for the recessive allele, which means it has two copies of it. Because each parent contributes one copy of the gene, this means that both parents contributed the recessive allele.
2. D) The offspring can be tall or short
The first cross between TT and tt will yield an F1 generation with the genotype Tt. When this generation is self-pollinated, the cross may result in the following genotypes:
TT, Tt, tt
Which means that the offspring can be tall or short.
Answer:
D. Population genetics
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations, and involves the examination and modelling of changes in the frequencies of genes and alleles in populations over space and time. ... In natural populations, however, the genetic composition of a population's gene pool may change over time.
Explanation:
microevolution - evolutionary change within a species or small group of organisms, especially over a short period. (Not studying the overall evolution in the population, just a single allele usually) Not it then
macroevolution - Macroevolution in the modern sense is evolution that is guided by selection among interspecific variation, as opposed to selection among intraspecific variation in microevolution (this goes over huge groups of different species) Not it then
gene pool - The gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species. (Not the study of evolution in a population) Not that then
So it has to be D
B. Using fewer fossil fuels, such as gasoline for a car, reduces the emission of harmful pollutants into the air
What this student is doing is collecting data. So, he wants to check how many life forms there are in the waters nearby. In order to do so, he has to take a sample, and look at it through a microscope so as to determine the number. So, he collected a sample which is his data. He is not drawing conclusions yet, but rather counting these organisms. He is not making a peer review - his peers aren't even mentioned here. He is not forming a hypothesis because he is just counting at this point.
