Answer: Directional Selection.

Explanation:

This process can be defined as the positive selection in which one phenotype is selected over the other phenotype, causing the allele frequency to shift towards the other phenotype.

The allele favored by directional selection is advantageous. There is a increase in the rate of reproduction and chances of survival.

Here, the population of rabbits are decreasing in size over a period of time because they adapted the burrows to live in. Gradually small size of the rabbits were favored.

This is an example of directional selection.

Choose the correct sequence of the prokaryotic operon. A) gene, operator, promoter B) promoter, operator, gene C) operator, prom
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, promoter, operator, gene.

Explanation:

In a prokaryote, just in front of the operator, the promoter is located, and just in front of the structural genes, the operator is located. All these in combination give rise to an operon.  

Any gene, which codes for an enzyme or a structural protein is termed as a structural gene, in the lac operon, a structural gene codes for three distinct kinds of enzymes. A short sequence of DNA is situated just in front of the structural gene, which is known as the operator. An operator functions as a switch for transcription, that is, it monitors whether the process of transcription will take place or not.  

Just in front of an operator, a sequence of a promoter is present, and for the transcription and translation of all the structural genes, the RNA polymerase needs to combine first with the promoter. In case, if no transcription is to take place, then the operator allows the repressor to bind with it and prevent the attachment of RNA polymerase with the promoter. Hence, the correct sequence of a prokaryotic operon is a promoter, operator, and gene.

If round pea shape is dominant to wrinkled pea shape, which of the following genotypes
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

C. rr

Explanation:

The dominant genotype will always be denoted by the capital version, or in this case R.

The round pea shape is dominant to the wrinkled pea shape, which means that, in the Punnett Square, the combinations of RR, Rr, rR, will all come out to be round pea shape.

The last box, rr, would be the one that gives the wrinkled phenotype.

In this case, by ratio, wrinkled phenotype show up 25%

                    by ratio, round phenotype show up 75%.
