Answer:

B. differential reproductive success caused by genetic variation is necessary for the process of natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process wherein individuals with adaptive genetic variations are favored. Genetic variations are present among the individuals of a population. Individuals with adaptive genetic variations survive more and reproduce to leave more progeny. Their progeny also carries the selected adaptive genetic variations.

Over the generations, the population evolves into a population with more number of individuals carrying those beneficial genetic variations.

Since natural selection favors the individuals with the genetic traits that make them better adapted to prevailing surroundings, it leads to the evolution of populations.

How do scientists determine the toxicity of a chemical
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Toxicity can be measured by the effect the substance has on an organism, a tissue or a cell. We know that individuals will respond differently to the same dose of a substance because of a number of factors including their gender, age and body weight. Therefore a population-level measure of toxicity is often used

Parents with the dominant phenotype cannot have offspring with the recessive phenotype.
disa [49]

Answer:

False, they can have recessive phenotype

Explanation:

A phenotype is a viable characteristic an individual presents as a consequence of the interaction between its environment and its genotype.

This doesn’t necessarily means that the individual’s aleles are both dominant (homozygotes), they could have one dominant and one recessive gen (heterozygotes), meaning that, if the another parent is homozygote with both recessive aleles the offspring could heritage homozygote recessive aleles that will result in a recessive phenotype.

You can observe in the image I added a punnet square that exemplifies the scenario. You can see that the offspring has 1/2 probability to have recessive phenotype.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
