In a species of insect, wing length is determined by a single gene, for which there are only two alleles. in a population of 150

insects, the frequency of the recessive trait is 0.05, after four generations, the recessive allele frequency is 0.31in a population of 125 insects. which of the following does this most likely suggest about the recessive allele?
a. after about 20 generations, the recessive allele will be the only one that exist for the gene.
b. it is not advantageous to the insects because it results in an overall decrease in the population
c. it results in a phenotype that makes the insect better fit to survive in its environment
d. because it is still not a dominant allele, it does not have a significant impact on the survival of the species.

Answer:

Option C, it results in a phenotype that makes the insect better fit to survive in its environment

Explanation:

Recessive alleles are not predominantly found in any population but with sexual reproduction these recessive alleles starts appearing in the given population with high frequency.

As the time progresses, the reproduction causes an increment in the frequency of recessive allele. However, it is governed by the Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest. If the frequency of recessive allele is increasing , then it is for sure that the local environment might be supporting the survival of organism with recessive trait more efficiently than the organisms with other allele pairs.

Hence, option C is correct

The instructions for the genetic traits of an organism are directly determined by the
Delicious77 [7]

The answer would be:

B. Sequence of the bases in DNA molecules.

Here is more about your questions:

DNA contain the instructions of the traits of an organism. Most of the organism have the same DNA but what makes each different is the sequence of the DNA. The sequence gives the instructions for the production of amino acid that will produce, which in turn determines what traits will be passed on or manifested by that individual.

The inability of organisms to evolve anything that could be an advantage reflects _____.
sergey [27]

The inability of organisms to evolve anything that could be an advantage reflects "the limit of historical constraints".

<h3>What is the limit of historical constraints of evolution?</h3>

Although evolution is a powerful process that leads to

rapid changes in the characteristics of organisms, limits

to evolution arise from a lack of genetic variation, a

loss of well-adapted genotypes in populations due to

gene flow, trait interactions leading to trade-offs, and/

or the difficulty of evolving simultaneous changes in a

number of traits. This is the limit of historical constraints of evolution.

<h3>What are the factors that can cause an organism to evolve?</h3>

Four main factors lead to evolution:

(1) the potential for a species to diversify;

(2) heritable genetic variation among individuals within a species as a result of mutation and sexual reproduction;

(3) competition for scarce resources; and

(4) the spread of organisms that are better able to endure and procreate in the environment.

What are the adaptations of bottle-nosed dolphins that allows them to thrive in the marine biome?.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Thermoregulation

Explanation:

  1. Decreased surface-to-volume ratio. The dolphin's fusiform body shape and reduced limb size decrease the amount of surface area exposed to the external environment.
  2. Increased insulation. Dolphins deposit most of their body fat into a thick layer of blubber.
  3. Heat exchange system.
