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

How do muscles move blood through the circulatory system​
Andreyy89
Skeletal muscles play a key role in the movement of blood around the body. Veins embedded within a muscle are compressed during contraction of that muscle, causing an increase in blood pressure due to the presence of one-way valves within the veins.

Explain e.o. wilson’s theory of island biogeography as it applies to environments other than islands physically surrounded by wa
laiz [17]

Today, any environment surrounded by other ecosystems that are unlike it is subject to Wilson’s theory of island biogeography. Because they are geographically isolated from other related ecosystems, these ecologies are referred to as "islands." Waterbodies divide tropical islands, but this idea also takes into account mountaintops, caverns, and other isolated ecosystems.

<h3>What is Wilson’s theory of island biogeography?</h3>
  • The biologist Edward O. Wilson and environmentalist Robert MacArthur published The Theory of Island Biogeography in 1967. It is widely considered as a foundational work in the ecology and biogeography of islands. The book was reissued by the Princeton University Press in 2001 as a volume in their "Princeton Landmarks in Biology" series.
  • The hypothesis that insular biota maintain a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and immigration rates was made more well-known by the book. An island's pace of new species immigration will decline as the number of species increases, while the rate of extinction of native species will rise.
  • Thus, MacArthur and Wilson anticipate that there will come a point of equilibrium where the rate of immigration and the rate of extinction are equal.

Look at the number of organisms and the amount of energy in each level of the pyramid. Why do you think there are more organisms
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

If there wasn't a lot of organisms and energy in the productive part of the triangle, then there wouldn't be a lot of third level organisms. The energy piramid would be a lot smaller then what it is here, and maybe if the energy source was low then there might not be such a vast varity of animals in the ecosystem.
