Answer;

-Disruptive selection

Disruptive selection results in the creation of two distinct phenotypes.

Explanation;

-Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that selects against the average individual in a population. The make up of this type of population would show phenotypes of both extremes but have very few individuals in the middle.

-The variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups. The disruptive selection will cause organisms with intermediate traits to reproduce less, and will allow those organisms with extreme traits to reproduce more.

Compare and contrast the three different types of symbiotic relationships that we went over in class. Be sure to provide an exam
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Mutualism

Commensalism

Parasitism

Explanation:

In mutualism, both organisms benefit.

<em>Ex</em>. Sea anemone and clownfish. Clownfish gives the anemone food, the anemone allows the clownfish to use it as a home.

In commensalism, one organism benefits, while the other is neither harmed nor benefited.

<em>Ex</em>. Sharks or whales and remora fish. The remora rides along the belly of whales or sharks and when it eats, the pieces that float around, the remora eats the excess.

In parasitism, one organism is benefited, while the other is hurt.

<em>Ex. </em>Dogs and fleas. The fleas are constantly biting and feeding off of the dog's skin. The dog gets bitten and itches a lot.

Mutualism and commensalism are similar because at least one organism is benefited.

Parasitism and commensalism are different because instead of one organism not getting hurt, like in commensalism, that happens in parasitism.

The frequency of a lethal allele in a population is greatest when it is: Group of answer choices dominant manifested in infancy
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

recessive

Explanation:

A lethal allele is a gene variant associated with a mutation in an essential gene, which has the potential to cause the death of an individual. In general, lethal genes are recessive because these alleles do not cause death in heterozygous individuals, which have one copy of the normal allele and one copy of the allele for the lethal disease/disorder. In recessive lethal diseases, heterozygous individuals are carriers of the recessive lethal allele and can eventually pass the 'defective' allele on to offspring even though they are unaffected; whereas dominant lethal diseases are caused by dominant lethal alleles, which only need to be present in one copy to be fatal. In consequence, the frequency of recessive lethal alleles is generally higher than dominant lethal alleles because they can be masked in carrier individuals. Some examples of human diseases caused by recessive lethal alleles include, among others, Tay-Sachs disease, sickle-cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis.

Two frog populations (same species) living in two neighboring lakes sing slightly different courtship songs. Increased irrigatio
dedylja [7]

Answer:

C. The songs will become more similar to each other.

Explanation:

To answer this question, first, you need to remember that both populations belong to the same species, so they can mate because there is no reproductive barrier. The only limiting physical factor impeding individuals of both groups to cross was the piece of land before the land got wetter. So once populations got together, individuals can easily mate.

One population´s males exhibit a courtship song that slightly differs from the one of the other group. This difference has a genetic basis. But females hardly notice the difference. All of them prefer loud frogs to quieter frogs, independently of the population to which they belong.

So when the two populations get together, individuals get mixed. Females do not recognize males of their group, and during the breeding season, all females will mate the most with louder males of any of the population. So females from population A might mate with males from population B, and females from population B might mate with males from population A. So after mating season, there is also a genetic mixture between populations.

The new generations will carry elements of both genotypes. So males´ songs will be even more similar to each other. Songs will become more similar to each other because individuals of both populations are mixed and mated, and their genes intercrossed, producing new individuals with genes of both populations.

What is the rapid change in a membrane's potential caused by the depolarization of a neuron?
yarga [219]

Answer:

During depolarization, the membrane potential rapidly shifts from negative to positive. As the sodium ions rush back into the cell, they add positive charge to the cell interior, and change the membrane potential from negative to positive.
