Answer: its D
Explanation:
because the ecosystem will change if it causes disease to oak forest.
Hope this helped :)
The answer is A. Organisms compete for limited resources. A is wrong because it has nothing to do with reproduction which is natural selection.
Lycopodium is a family of fern-allies .
They are mostly a flowerless plants with widely branched, with little and simple,
needle-like like leaves that
cover the branches thickly and stem while Equisetum usually called horsetail, snake
grass because it more like a tail of a horse and its the only living genus in Equisetaceae,
a family of vascular
plants that reproduce by spores rather than
seeds.
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.
