Human birth weights range very narrowly between 5.5 and 8.5 pounds. Babies much smaller than 5.5 lbs. suffer a higher mortality

due to low birth weight, while babies much larger than 8.5 lbs. can cause complications during birth and also have a higher mortality rate. This is an example of:a. Stabilizing selection b, Sexual selection c. Genetic drift d. Reproductive isolation e. Disruptive selection

Answer:

a.  Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Babies lower than 5.5lbs would suffer from various disorder because of low birth weight as their body would not be able to compete as well they would have weak immune system and malnourishment. Whereas high birth weight carry the equally above risk as their body wont be able to cope up and organs become insensitive to various hormones. for the survival the birth weight should be within a median range so that it would be favorable for themselves and surroundings.

Stabilizing selection occurs when a population stabilizes on a particular trait value and genetic diversity decreases. As in this example, an average baby weight has to favour against extreme variation for it's better survival.

therefore, this is an example of stabilizing selection.

*Sickle cell disease is a constitutional corpuscular hemolytic anemia related to an abnormal structure of the globin chain. It is an autosomal recessive disease, which means homozygosity is necessary to fully express the illness.
*It corresponds to the synthesis of an abnormal hemoglobin, HbS, which is different from normal Hb (HbA).

*The S allele (located in the chromosome 11), responsible for the anomaly, is especially widespread in the African continent, it is also found in other regions of the Mediterranean.

The suncoast tree of northwest Africa is known for 2 traits that are said to show simple dominance. The 2 traits are height and
ivann1987 [24]

The genotypes would be bbTT X BbTt

Assuming that bark color is represented by B (b) allele and height is represented by T (t) allele.

Since the traits show simple dominance: blue (B) of dominant over purple (b) and tall (T) is dominant over short (t)

  • The genotype of a tree that is purebred purple (bb) and tall (TT) would be bbTT
  • The genotype of a tree that is heterozygous for both trait would be BbTt
  • Thus, the cross would be bbTT x BbTt

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

2c. Jamestown Settlement and the "Starving Time"

Explanation:

The first joint-stock company to launch a lasting venture to the New World was the VIRGINIA COMPANY OF LONDON. The investors had one goal in mind: gold. They hoped to repeat the success of Spaniards who found gold in South America.

In 1607, 144 English men and boys established the JAMESTOWN colony, named after King James I.

The colonists were told that if they did not generate any wealth, financial support for their efforts would end. Many of the men spent their days vainly searching for gold.

As a consequence, the colonists spent little time farming. Food supplies dwindled. MALARIA and the harsh winter besieged the colonists, as well. After the first year, only 38 of the original 144 had survived.
