There are several ways selection can affect population variation:

stabilizing selection

directional selection

diversifying selection

frequency-dependent selection

sexual selection

As natural selection influences the allele frequencies in a population, individuals can either become more or less genetically similar and the phenotypes displayed can become more similar or more disparate. In the end, natural selection cannot produce perfect organisms from scratch, it can only generate populations that are better adapted to survive and successfully reproduce in their environments through the aforementioned selections.

Describe the change which will occur if a piece of peeled potato is placed in a concentrated sugar solution and explain why this

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Through the process of Osmosis, water will move from a region of high water potential ('concentration') to low water potential. Therefore, water will slowly leave the cells of the potato and enter the sugar solution in an attempt to reach equilibrium and the potato will therefore lose mass.

If an organism is homozygous for a particular trait, the organism A. has extra alleles on both chromosomes in a chromosome pair.

inysia [295]

B. Has the same allele on both chromosomes in a chromosome pair.

Here is why:

Homozygous means the same, while heterozygous means different. If both of the same alleles are on both chromosomes, then it will be a homozygous.

There can be two types of homozygous alleles.

Homozygous Dominant: BB

Homozygous Recessive: bb

Notice in both of these they were the same alleles.

Heterozygous: Bb

Notice how both are different alleles.

Below I have attached a diagram of a Punnett square I have made.

On the left is a homozygous recessive allele pair.

On the top is a heterozygous allele pair.
