Full Question

Which of the following statements BEST reflects the extent to which we can distinguish the effects of genes and the environment on the expression of a complex trait?

A. If one individual is 60 inches tall and another is 70 inches tall, they differ in about 80% of their genes.

B. None of answer options is correct.

C. For identical twins raised in the same environment, height should not differ by more than 20%.

D. In a group of individuals of the same sex, about 80% of the variation in height among individuals is due to genetic differences and 20% is due to environmental differences.

E. About 80% of an individual's height is determined by genes and 20% by environment.

Answer:

Option D. In a group of individuals of the same sex, about 80% of the variation in height among individuals is due to genetic differences and 20% is due to environmental differences.

Explanation:

Because genetic variations are more common and prominent as traits flows from one generation to next generation while environmental difference are just only exist in that particular environment.

labwork [276]

Which combination of characteristics in a population would provide the greatest potential for evolutionary change?

a. large population, few mutations

b. small population, many mutations

c. small population, few mutations

Small population, many mutations are the combination of characteristics in a population would provide the greatest potential for evolutionary change.

b. small population, many mutations

<u>Explanation:</u>

Stabilizing selection in development is a kind of common choice that supports the normal people in a populace. In little, reproductively detached populaces, extraordinary conditions exist that can create fast changes in quality frequencies absolutely autonomous of transformation and normal determination.

Natural Selection prompts a transformation change when a few people with specific qualities in a populace have higher endurance and regenerative rate than others and give these inheritable hereditary highlights to their posterity. The power of Natural Selection aside, populace size is as yet a factor to be considered.

What information is contained in the branches of a cladogram?
Brums [2.3K]

The branching point on a cladogram represents a common ancestor. A cladogram is a diagram used in cladistics to show relations among organisms. However it is not an evolutionary tree since it does not show how ancestors are related to descendants, nor does it show how much they have changed.
