One of the major elements of natural selection is that all species have genetic variation. Natural selection is a process when organisms adapt better to their environment. It is an essential key in evolution. There is a change in phenotype of a population over time.
Answer:
Homologous structures can be described as the structures which are similar to one another present in different organisms. These similarities depict that the organisms might have a common ancestor i the past. For example, the forelimb of man, birds, dogs.
Analogous structures can be described as structures in different organisms which perform the same function but might not have a common origin. For example, the wings of bats and birds.
Answer:
A) polar
Explanation:
Polar molecules contains partial positive and partial negative charge as in all polar molecules two atoms have unequal sharing electron. Due to unequal sharing of electrons, one atom that attracts valence electrons strongly gains positive charge and other gain negative charge.
For example water, water is a polar molecule having partial negative and partial positive charge because the oxygen atom in water attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.
Hence, the correct answer is "A) polar".
Answer:
1/4 WR; 1/4 wr; 1/4 wR; 1/4 Wr
Explanation:
The principle of independent assortment indicates how different genes independently separate from one another when gametic (reproductive) cells develop. When a cell divides by meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, thereby different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. In consequence, each gamete has a unique combination of chromosomes. In this case, the two genes are on different homologous chromosomes, thereby gene variants (alleles) will be randomly distributed to daughter cells during meiosis (anaphase I) and thus the expected proportion of gamete genotypes will be 1/4 WR, 1/4 wr, 1/4 wR, 1/4 Wr.
