If female deer mates with male deer that have large antlers 2 we are witnessing_____ selection.

1 answer:

3 0

The answer would be natural selection.

The female deer might consider the large antlers of the male deer to show of certain genetic qualities that have a higher probability of reproduction, as well as a higher social status among deers.

This means that if she picks him as her mate during this season, their offspring will have a better chance of survival compared to her picking another deer with smaller antlers.

This is called natural selection because she will pick the deer that is most adapted to that environment. Thus their offspring can be ensured to have the highest possible probability to survive.

Answer:

Autoregulation

Explanation:

When the activities of a cell, tissue, organ, or system change automatically due to environmental variation, the homeostatic mechanism that operates is called autoregulation.

Autoregulation is a method of controlling the local blood circulation. It is characterized as an organ's inherent capacity to sustain a standard blood flow, given changes in the pressure of the perfusion.

3. cloning

4. Y chromosomes

5. The Human Genome Project sought to map a human's entire genome.

6. Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that occurs when individuals with similar characteristics continue to be bred in an attempt to keep a certain set of traits. However, inbred organisms are genetically similar, and the probability that members of the population will receive mutated alleles leading to disorders is high.

7. Since no two humans have the same DNA, except for identical twins, forensics can take advantage of this fact by using DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes, convict wrongdoers, or overturn unjust convictions.
