Which statement is true about lethal alleles?

Biology

They can be maintained in a gene pool if they are expressed before 
<span>reproductive age.</span>


For example:
Sickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal hemoglobin in red blood cells. hemoglobin is the red pigment found in red blood cells for carrying oxygen.The abnormality arises from a genetic mutation in the DNA gene that codes for the  beta chain of the protein called globin of which hemoglobin is made of.In the beta chain, the sixth amino acid called glutamine is replaced by another one called valine.This one change in the amino acids cause the hemoglobin protein  to behave abnormally, causing  red blood cells to lose their normal spherical shape and become bent like a sickle, hence the name "sickle cell" anemia

Answer:

Last option.  

Explanation:

Lethal alleles can be defined as the alleles that can cause organism's death having lethal alleles. This is because these alleles are resulted from mutations in genes, which are essential for proper growth and development.

Although lethal alleles are harmful, they can be maintained in gene pool if they express in an organism before his reproductive age as mutations can be passed from one generation to other if mutations are expressed in germline cells before reproduction.

Thus, the correct answer is last option.

Need help with this evolution chart some I've filled in yet I'm not sure if they are correct.Plz help anybody
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

This is correct. The remaining portion:

Sympatric species that form interrelationships undergo coevolution.

Allopatric species in different environments can undergo convergent evolution.

Allopatric species in small populations and under intense environmental conditions can undergo genetic drift.

Explanation:

On the basis of geographical distance, speciation is of two major types:

  1. Sympatric
  2. Allopatric

Sympatric Speciation:

Sympatric speciation is the formation of new species with no gergraphical separation from the ancestor. The new and parent species both exist in the same environment but do not interbreed due to mechanisms of reproductive isolation. These involves both prezygotic and post zygotic barriers to reproduction such as timing of mating, sensitivity to pheromones, choice of mating sites or infertility and mismatched gametes. Species formed through sympatric speciation can form interrelationships and undergo coevolution i.e. the evolution of ones species is dependent on the other.  

Allopatric Speciation:

It involves the geographical separation of the parent and new species. These species could be geographically separated by a river, mountain range or land mass.

Although, allopatric species evolve independently, they may develop similar characteristics that serve different functions. Allopatric species in radically different environments undergo convergent evolution i.e. species evolve similar characteristics without any ancestral homology.

Allopatric species that reside in small populations and are under harsh environmental pressures undergo a rapid genetic revolution i.e. genetic drift. This includes the Founder's and bottleneck effect that involve the continuation of a species from very few individuals after a drastic, sudden environmental change.
