1. A genetic condition, due to a recessive allele (a), is deadly in homozygous individuals

Biology
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:C. The disorder will be maintained in the population through the reproduction of heterozygous individuals.

Explanation: Since the genetic condition is deadly in homozygous individuals, all individuals who are homozygous for the recessive allele will die, therefore only the individuals who are heterozygous for the recessive allele will survive because the allele is not deadly in a heterozygous condition. Therefore, the disorder will continue to stay in the population through the reproduction of individuals who are heterozygous for the recessive allele.

What distinguishes disruptive and directional selection pressures when both select for extreme genetic traits?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Yes both are different. In directional selection one of the extreme traits is favored, whereas in disruptive selection both the extreme traits are favored.

Explanation:

Directional: If selection acts to eliminate one extreme form and supports the other extreme then the peak shifts in the direction which is selected by the nature.

Disruptive: If the selection does not favor the mean character value, rather favors both the peripheral character values then this kind of selection is called disruptive selection.
