The answer is (3) an increase in the proportion of offspring <span>that have favorable characteristics.
</span>In natural selection, genotype variations that will increase the chance of survival and reproduction of some organism are preserved and will be inherited. Peppered moth color variation is a good example of natural selection.<span>During the Industrial revolution, due to pollution, trees become darker in the urban area. Light-colored moths were, thus, easy prey. The dark-colored moths were able to camouflage on dark trees and avoid predators. The phenomenon is known as industrial melanism. So, in polluted urban areas, the number of dark-colored peppered moths increased. In the clean environment, were much effective in hiding from predators and they outnumbered the dark-colored moths.
Therefore, the </span>proportion of offspring <span>that have favorable characteristics in such environment will increase.</span>
The bacteria was not killed off. In those three days symptoms had stop because the bacteria was dormant. They must have been activated because Jim provided a suitable environment for their growth
Answer:
Plants would be unable to grow and produce oxygen for the animals.
Explanation:
Sunlight, which supports plants, is considered an abiotic factor. If there were no sunlight, plants wouldn't be able to grow, which means no oxygen for many living things found in that specific ecosystem. In other words, that ecosystem would become uninhabitable.
Answer:
here.
Explanation:
Due to the prevalence of malaria in Africa, the allele for sickle cell anemia (HbS) provides a selective advantage. That's why it remains in the population.
A normal African person (HbAHbA), with normal haemoglobin, will not die of anemia, but will die of malaria.
An African person with sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS), with abnormal haemoglobin, will die of anemia.
A heterozygous African person (HbAHbS), with half of his red blood cells (RBCs) being normal and the other half being sickle-shaped, will neither die from anemia, nor malaria since the plasmodium will be incapable of completing its life cycle in the abnormal RBCs.
Thus heterozygous African people will grow, reproduce and pass on the HbS allele to the next generations.
