<span>Investigations of the legacy of natural selection in the human genome have proved particularly informative, pinpointing functionally important regions that have participated in our genetic adaptation to the environment. Furthermore, genetic dissection of the intensity and type of selection acting on human genes can be used to predict involvement in different forms and severities of human diseases.</span>

The discarded theory of blending inheritance most closely resembles what inheritance
pochemuha

The discarded theory of blending inheritance most closely resembles incomplete dominance.

<h3>What is blending inheritance?</h3>
  • An antiquated biological notion from the 19th century is the concept of blending inheritance.
  • According to the hypothesis, children inherit any trait by averaging the values of their parents for that trait.
  • According to the theory of blended inheritance, an offspring combines the values of both parents for a given attribute.
  • As opposed to blended inheritance, particulate inheritance states that a child inherits individual units or genes from each parent.
  • Offspring thus combines the traits of both parents.
  • Incomplete dominance is the term used to describe phenotypic "blending" of two features, which implies that neither trait is truly dominant over the other.
  • The manifestation of phenotypic traits that are intermediate between those of the parents, such as pink flower color from red and white parents.
  • Inheritance was a now-discredited hypothesis that claimed children's genetic make-up was a pure admixture of their parents'.

Which of the following examples describes convergent evolution?
topjm [15]

Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.

Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.

Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.
