I will answer the question accordingly so that it help you under stand it better.
Question A.
During an extreme heat wave, plants with white flowers survive better.
What mechanism is in work here?
Answer: Mechanism of Natural Selection
will work here. This is called survival of the fittest which means the best color which fits in harsh conditions will dominate over others and will survive for longer time.
What is the effect on the gene pool?
Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases
because white color is the best fit to extreme heat wave.
Question B.
A person uproots the five closest plants, which all happen to have white flowers.
What mechanism is in work here?
Answer: The mechanism of gene flow will work here as color of flower represents genotype of flower.
What is the effect on the gene pool?
Answer: The Frequency of white allele will increases because genotype of white flowers is increased.
The cell wall is what gives plant cells their shape. The cell wall, not to be confused with the cell membrane, is a rigid structure made up of long cellulose fibers, branching hemicellulose fibers, and pectin. The fluid pressure inside the cell also contributes somewhat to their shape.
I think its B) A disruption in the cell cycle has taken place. It could be D though. <span />
Answer: Genetics and Pressures
Explanation:
For natural selection to occur, a population must have a wide variety of individuals with different traits. For example, natural selection would not influence fish body color if all individuals in a population were exactly the same color. Variation of scale color can help a fish species have a higher chance of survival by confusing predators as to what species they are.
Reproductive strategies represent a set of behavioral, morphological, and physiological adaptations that facilitate access to potential mates, improve the chances of mating and fertilization, and enhance infant survival. Male peacocks have bright, big tail feathers, for example, to attract females. If an organism has a high appeal, this will make them more likely to be able to meet and continue the survival of the species.
Environmental pressures, such as plant death, could influence the survival of herbivorous organisms. Say a small land creature consisted off grass, and an epidemic killed all the grass in their region. They would either die off, or they would evolve to find different types of food. The former could reduce population, while the latter could increase it.
Humans affect biodiversity by their population numbers, use of land, and their lifestyles, causing damage to habitats for species. ... Through proper education, and by demanding that governments make decisions to preserve biodiversity, the human population will be able to sustain life on earth longer.
