The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

I. only

I. and II. only

II. and III. only

I, II, and III.

Answer:

I, II, and III.

Explanation:

The mechanism of natural selection can be explained for the trait which is determined by one gene but the traits which can be determined by more than one gene like height (polygenic trait), the selection becomes very complex.

The natural selection can be explained by the phenotype produced in a population and that depends on the genes.  The polygenic trait shows the variation in the population, therefore, it is impossible to predict only one mechanism and therefore all types of natural selection occurs on a population.

Thus,  I, II, and III are correct.

Describe how the successional stages would differ from primary succession
Vesna [10]
Primary succession is when things that grow on rocks and don't need soil, like lichen, break down the rocks and turn them into soil.  Then things that grow on soil can grow, like algae and fungus and firther break down the soil.

The successional stages would be larger organisms like plants and animals.

The shape of a protein is determined by ?
kumpel [21]
The function of a protein is determined by its shape. The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.

Why are autosomal genetic disorders usually recessive
Sever21 [200]
<span>Autosomal recessive is one of several ways that a trait, disorder, or disease can be passed down through families. An autosomal recessive disorder means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop</span>

Using the theory of natural selection, what is antibiotic resistance
ddd [48]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is when pathogens such as bacteria or fungi develop a resistance to antibiotics. This happens when some pathogens die, and others survive. The small number of pathogens that had a resistance to the antibiotic will reproduce more offspring that are also resistant to, and those offspring will reproduce even more offspring and so on. Eventually most pathogens will be resistant to the antibiotic, so antibiotics won't work.
