Ans. (C). stabilizing selection.

Stabilizing selection is defined as a variant of natural selection that stabilizes a particular trait in a population on an average trait value (non-extreme trait value). It favors individuals with intermediate variants, instead of individuals having extreme traits.

The females, which lay 4-5 eggs in each clutch, are showing an average or intermediate trait, while the females, which produce fewer or more eggs than this are showing extreme traits. Hence, individuals with extreme traits will show reduced fitness due to stabilizing selection.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Which of the following statements correctly identifies the location of the hydrogens bonds in DNA
asambeis [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options. However, it can be answered based on general knowledge of the DNA structure.

Hydrogen bonds in a DNA are located between the nucleotides that holds the double stranded DNA molecules.

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living cells. The DNA molecule is made up of nucleotides monomers. However, since the DNA molecule is double-stranded, the nucleotides are of two chains composed of four nucleotide subunits viz: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).

The two chains of nucleotides in a DNA molecule are called strands. Each strand is bonded to one another by the nucleotides using complementary base pairing i.e. A-T, G-C. The bonds between the nucleotidew of each strand is called HYDROGEN BOND.

Hence, HYDROGEN BONDS in a DNA molecule is located in between two nucleotides of each strand. That is, hydrogen bond holds Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine.

Represents the presence of the rhesus protein on blood.
guajiro [1.7K]
<span>Positive Rh factor represents the presence of the rhesus protein on the blood cells.</span> <span>Rh factor or Rhesus factor is used to describe the presence of antigen Rh (D) in the blood.  A person who is, for example, AB Positive (AB+) has the A and B antigens and the Rh(D) antigen, whereas someone who is AB Negative (ab-) lacks the Rh(D) antigen. Antibodies to Rh antigens can be involved in hemolytic transfusion reactions and they increase the risk of Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, so it is important for mother and the baby to have the same Rh factor.</span>
