Answer;

Heterozygote advantage occurs when heterozygotes have a higher fitness than do both homozygotes. In frequency-dependant selection, the fitness of a phenotype declines it it becomes too common in the population.

Explanation;

The heterozygotes have both alleles, which is needed for genetic variation. Heterozygotes are essential for there to be genetic variation in a population. In other words it is when When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. For example a sickle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.

-Frequency-dependent selection occurs when the fitness of a genotype depends on its frequency. It is possible for the fitness of a genotype to increase (positively frequency-dependent) or decrease (negatively frequency-dependent) as the genotype frequency in the population increases.

An organism of the kingdom Protista could be _______.
ivann1987 [24]
<span>An organism of the Kingdom Protista could be organisms that are eukaryotic. Though they are such, some organisms that belong in this kingdom can't be classified as a plant, animal or fungus. Organisms like algae and kelp which belong in this kingdom are multicellular and they are able to provide for themselves food, shelter, and oxygen in underwater environments.</span>

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the Hershey and Chase experiment, they aimed to show where the phage DNA went when it exited the protein coat and entered the bacteria. In this scenario, the two student's approach won't work because amino acids (and therefore all proteins) also have nitrogen atoms which ultimately means that the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins and the experiment will not provide the correct results.
