Populations of the grasshopper Vandiemenella viatica possess different chromosomal fusions and inversions. Grasshoppers that are

heterozygous for different chromosomal rearrangements have reduced fitness. What would you expect to observe if you investigated the genotypes of grasshoppers in a recently merged population?

Answer:

The options

a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness

b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance

c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness

d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance

e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift

The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.

b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance

Explanation:

In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.

It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)

of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.

Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.

Contact [7]

According to the research, the correct answer is fiber composites. Because cell walls consist of a cross-linked network of long filaments embedded in a stiff surrounding material, they can be called fiber composites.

<h3>What are cell walls?</h3>

It is a network that covers prokaryotic cells and plant cells that is located outside the plasma membrane, helping to form the structure.

In this sense, since it is made up of a network of carbohydrates, phospholipids and structural proteins, and the different cell types of plants can be identified by their characteristics, they can be called fiber composites.

Therefore, we can conclude that cell walls are a network embedded in a matrix composed of carbohydrates and proteins.
