Which statement is true about microevolution?

Biology
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is option A.

Microevolution is the modification in the frequencies of alleles, which takes place over time within a population. This modification can be due to four distinct procedures, that is, selection (natural and artificial), mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow.

This modification takes place over a comparatively short duration in comparison to the modifications known as macroevolution that is where much larger distinctions in the population take place. Thus, the correct answer is that it is an evolution within a single population.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hydra is a fresh water organism and belongs to the phylum Cnidarian. They have tentacles around their body that enables locomotion as well as protection from prey.  Hydra has the ability of regeneration and the asexual mode of reproduction in hydra is budding.

In the budding process, a small bud develops in the parent body and the bud after maturation gets detached from the parent body and grows into a new individual.  Sexual mode of reproduction is also found in hydra.

Answer:

the population is polymorphic.

Explanation:

Polymorphism is the discontinuous genetic variation that leads to the production of varying unique kinds or forms of individuals within the population of an individual species.

Take for instance, allelic polymorphism is seen in the presence of multiple alleles that is produced within the members of an individual species as in peppered moths, human blood groups, and two-spotted ladybugs.

We have different causes of polymorphism: polymorphism can be sustained by an equity among variation developed by new mutations and natural selection. Genetic variation might be due to frequency-dependent selection.
