Answer:The correlated trait exercise shows that when two characters are correlated, the optimal values and selection strengths rise and fall together.

Explanation: Correlation refers to statistical (linear) relationship between two random variables. When traits are correlated, change in one is associated with change in the other.

Correlation coefficient (c.c.) measures strength of association between two variables in the same individual or experiment. It can range from -1 to +1. C.c. can be positive, negative or weak.

1. A positive c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with an increase in the other variable.

2. A negative c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other.

3. A c.c. near zero indicates a weak relationship between the variables.

Correlation can be represented by scatter plot as shown in the attached image.

What does ‘efficiency’ mean in terms of energy converters?

kkurt [141]

In terms of energy converters, efficiency most commonly refers to how much power was lost in the conversion from steam to heat, or from outlet to shone charger. Some systems 'leak' energy, meaning more energy is going out one way than going in the other. The energy source transfers more power than the energy recipient receives. The more efficient the converter, the less power is lost.

Base Substitutions. Single base substitutions are called point mutations, recall the point mutation Glu -----> Val which causes sickle-cell disease.
Deletions. ...

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Cell wall

Explanation:

The presence of a cell wall is a feature of some specific cell types. Prokaryotes such as bacteria possess the cell wall made of peptidoglycan. Cell wall makes outer most covering of their cells in these organisms.

Likewise, archaeans are also the prokaryotes that have cell walls to make the outer most covering of their cells. Among several functions, cell walls in these organisms impart them the mechanical strength and prevent the bursting of cells in a hypotonic environment.

Mitochondria are double-membrane organelles present in the cells of eukaryotes only. They are the powerhouse of these cell types and serve as a site of ATP production by the process of cellular respiration.

Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles and have a circular DNA. However, they do not have a cell wall around them.
