Answer:
b. average heterozygosity
Explanation:
From the available options:
a. nucleotide variability
b. average heterozygosity
c. average number of loci
d. geographic variability
Nucleotide variability represents a form of genetic variation that occur as a result of difference in nucleotide sequence of deoxy ribonucleic acid.
The locus is a region on the chromosome where genes are located. Average number of locus thus refers to total number of loci per total number of individuals in a population.
Geographic variability refers to difference in genetic traits across the various geographical distribution of a population.
Average heterozygosity is the percentage or proportion of heterozygous individuals for a trait within a population. It is a common measure of genetic variation in a population.
When a mutation occur within a population and this leads to the introduction of a new allele at a locus for which some individuals within the population are homozygous, it will directly affect the average heterozygosity of the population because more individuals will lose their homozygosity and become heterozygous.
<em>The correct option is b.</em>
Answer:
The immune system protects the host from pathogenic organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites). To deal with this array of threats, the immune system has evolved to include a myriad of specialised cell types, communicating molecules and functional responses.
Explanation:
Although there is no attachment, the best answer would be option B.
DNA replication occurs in opposite directions along a strand of DNA.
The leading strand is replicated continuously in the 5' to 3' direction towards the replication fork.
The lagging strand is replicated discontinuously in the 5' to 3' with segments of DNA known as Okazaki fragments.
Non of the above is true considering the facts
