Natural selection relies on genetic variation. In any population of beetles, there are alleles for brown or green color. What ha

ppens to the genotype and the phenotype of the beetle population when there are distinct advantages and disadvantages due to color?

The correct order for natural selection can be summarized as:

1. Inherited variation: Individuals among the population exhibit inherited variation such as body color, body size, hair colors, voice properties, et cetera.

For example, the population of beetles: an equal number of green and brown beetles.

2. Competition: Organisms face the struggle for their survival.

For example, Natural habitat is in trees. Green leaves hide green beetles.  

The brown beetles are noticed by birds in the area.

Birds eat brown beetles.

3. Selection: It leads to differential reproduction, that is, the organisms with adaptive traits tend to survive and reproduce more.

For example, green beetles reproduce in greater number than brown beetles.

4. Adaptation: The organisms with survival traits tend to survive more and pass their traits to the future generation.

For example, more green beetles survive than brown beetles.

5. Evolution: The change in allele frequency of the population takes place.

For example, beetle population changes from brown and green to mostly green beetles.

Thus, the correct order would be:

1. The population of beetles: an equal number of green and brown beetles.

2. Natural habitat is in trees. Green leaves hide green beetles.  

3. The brown beetles are noticed by birds in the area.

4. Birds eat brown beetles.

5. Green beetles reproduce in greater number than brown beetles.

6. More green beetles survive than brown beetles.

7. Beetle population changes from brown and green to mostly green beetles

ELEN [110]

Answer:

For [a] .....Yes

For [b]......No

Explanation:

Meiosis is known to be a process of reducing the number of chromosomes in a diploid to half.

And it should be noted that , meiosis requires the pairing of two chromosomes sets.

Therefore in this case, before meiosis can occur in the haploid, it must involves two haploids. This means that two individual haploid will fuse together to form diploid meiocyte, which will allow meiosis to occur.

This is the reason why meiosis can only takes place on haploid species.

In summary, it should be noted that, meiosis can only takes place in a diploid and two individuals haploid [ haploid species] that can fuse together to form diploid, but not in a haploid individual.
