Answer:

Diversifying or disruptive selection increases genetic variance when natural selection selects for two or more extreme phenotypes that each have specific advantages.

In directional selection, a population's genetic variance shifts toward a new phenotype when exposed to environmental changes. Diversifying or disruptive selection increases genetic variance when natural selection selects for two or more extreme phenotypes that each have specific advantages

RSB [31]

Answer:

Option (a) is the correct answer of this question.

Explanation:

Mona shows' Jet Lag ' condition as she's having trouble sleeping as her internal body clock (circadian rhythm) is already locked to California's time zone instead of its present position and time zone. Therefore, her body can not adapt to the new time zone and experiences the phenomenon of' Jet lag.'

Jet lag can take place when sleep-wake routines are interrupted.A person can feel somnolent, exhausted, nauseous, dizzy and somewhat fatigued. This may be the product of going across time zones or performing shift work.

Many Japanese people consume a diet rich in seaweed, including the edible red alga Porphyra, which is used for preparing sushi.

Answer:

e. horizontal transfer of genes from a marine bacterium

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one independent mature bacterium to another and creates new gene combinations in the recipient bacterium. It mostly occurs between the bacterial of different species and is responsible for the spread of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance, digestion of specific substances, virulence, etc.

Transfer of genetic material from the donor to host bacteria can occur in three ways: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. According to the given information, marine Bacteroidetes have enzymes required to digest porphyran and agarose. <em>B. plebeius</em> might have acquired the genes for these enzymes from marine Bacteroidetes by horizontal gene transfer. This resulted in its ability to digest the marine seaweed while its close relative species cannot do so.
