<h2>Types of Dispersion Patterns </h2>

If you're hiking through a forest, you might notice that some species of plants - like certain flowers or bushes - seem evenly spaced, while others - like wild mushrooms - are clustered together in only certain parts of the habitat.

Within any given plant or animal population, or group of individuals of the same species living in the same area, individuals can be spaced in different ways called dispersion patterns. There are three types of dispersion patterns.
Clumped dispersion is when individuals in a population are clustered together, creating some patches with many individuals and some patches with no individuals. In uniform dispersion, individuals are spaced evenly throughout an area. And in random dispersion, individuals are arranged without any apparent pattern.
In natural populations, random dispersion is rare, while clumped dispersion, which we'll focus on in this lesson, is the most common pattern.
Clumped dispersion is often due to an uneven distribution of nutrients or other resources in the environment. It can also be caused by social interactions between individuals. Additionally, in organisms that don't move, such as plants, offspring might be very close to their parents and show clumped dispersion patterns. Let's further examine each of these three reasons for clumped dispersion.

Hope it helps! :)

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The larva gets dark pigment.

Explanation:

If scientists purposely injected an excess concentration of these proteins in the larva, the larva gets deep dark colour because this protein is responsible for the pigment colour in the larva of Drosophila. By increasing the protein concentration the pigment will also have a very dark colour. So we can conclude from this that increasing the amount of protein causes increase in the pigment colour.

Between a Black father bear (genotype BB) and a Brown mother bear (genotype bb), they had several baby bears.Black fur allele (B

Karolina [17]

Answer:

100% or 1

Explanation:

This question involves a gene coding for fur color in bears. According to the question, black fur allele (B) is dominant over the brown fur allele (b). This means that a bear heterozygous for fur color (Bb) will be phenotypically black.

In this question, a black father bear (genotype BB) and a brown mother bear (genotype bb) were crossed, the baby bears will all have a genotype Bb (see punnet square in the attached image). Since all the offsprings of this cross have genotype Bb, this means that 100% will have black fur.
