Answer:   directional selection

Explanation: Directional selection occurs when one end of the bell curve has a better fit than the other end. The end that has preferable traits in relation to the environment won't always be the same. The environment can change, and then the opposite end of the bell curve might become preferable.

Answer:

  1. directional selection
  2. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
  3. sympatric
  4. This is allopatric speciation.
  5. This is an example of stabilizing selection in a population because the organisms in the middle of the population have the best fitness for their environment.
  6. The five conditions impacting this equilibrium are: mutations, nonrandom mating, genetic drift, migration, and natural selection.
  7. Natural selection impacts single-gene traits because of the possible extinction of one trait or increase of another trait. If a trait is found to be not preferable in that environment, it could be eliminated through natural selection.
  8. The total allele frequency in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium has to equal 1.

True or false. Is sympatric speciation, a physical barrier arises and separates two populations l, ending flow between them
timofeeve [1]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The above statement is <u>False </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Speciation is an evolutionary process in which new species arise. There are three types of speciation, namely; sympatric, parapatric and allopatric speciation.
  • <em><u>Sympatric speciation is a pattern in which speciation occurs in the absence of a physical barrier to gene flow; ex. polyploidy arising in flowers.</u></em>
  • In an Allopatric speciation on the other hand, a physical barrier arises and separates two populations, ending gene flow between them and allowing reproductive isolating mechanisms to evolve so that later if the two groups come back into contact they will no longer be able to reproduce together, therefore making them different species.

Phylogenetic bracketing is a technique for surmising utilized as a part of organic sciences. It is to deduce the probability of obscure attributes in life forms in view of their position in a phylogenetic tree. One of the primary utilizations of phylogenetic sectioning is on wiped out creatures, known from fossils.
