Answer:

How fit the trait is for the environment

Explanation:

This answer choice describes the process of natural selection. Natural selection is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin and is now believed to be the main process that brings about evolution.

<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

  • According to the given question,
  • For eye color, let the black color be represented by B allele and orange color be represented by b allele. Black is dominant over orange.
  • For skin color, let the green skin be represented by G allele and white skin be represented by g allele. Green is dominant over white.
  • The phenotype of Sam is black eyes and green skin so his genotype can be BBGG or BbGg. It is also said that one of his parents has phenotype orange eyes and white skin. That parent's genotype must be bbgg.
  • Hence, the genotype of Sam must be BbGg.
  • Carole has the phenotype of orange eyes and white skin. Her genotype would bbgg.
  • The gametes produced by Sam are: BG, Bg, bG, bg.
  • The gametes produced by Carole are: bg.
  • Mating them we get,

           BG                    Bg                   bG                       bg

bg      BbGg               Bbgg               bbGg                   bbgg

  (Black/ Green) (Black/ White) (Orange/Green)  (Orange/ White)

  • The genotypes and phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are represented above.
  • The phenotypes (Eye color/ Skin color) obtained are in the following ratio:

(Black/ Green) : (Black/ White) : (Orange/Green) : (Orange/ White) = 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

Answer:

Nitrogen is present in the atmosphere in a molecule form about 78 percent. This nitrogen comes to the earth with the water through rainfall. Some nitrogen fix by beneficial microorganisms such as Cyanobacteria and Azotobactor which are present in the roots of higher plants. These microorganisms convert nitrogen molecule into nitrates and used by the plants. There are some other microorganisms which again convert nitrate into nitrogen molecules, called denitrifying bacteria and nitrogen molecule goes to the atmosphere again and complete the cycle.

Describe natural selection- when does natural selection occur?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of its action was first fully expounded by Charles Darwin, and it is now regarded as be the main process that brings about evolution.

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.
