Answer:

The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.

Explanation:

There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.

A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.

A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.

The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.

5. In four o'clock, red color exhibits incomplete dominance over white; when both exist together, the flowers are pink. i. In a
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The genotype of the offspring would be heterogeneous.

Explanation:

In four O'clock plants in case of incomplete dominance,  no colour is dominant. They are existing in an intermediate character / a new character. This new colour is pink, not white or red.

The white and red colour flowers are wild type and homogenous type. When the cross occurs and incomplete dominance happen, the F1 flower would be pink one but heterogeneous.

Because according to Mendel's deviation, there are such character appears where neither dominant nor the recessive are the only expressive traits. This has seen in incomplete dominance.

In codominance, which is the another Mendelian deviation, where both the characters has expressed. For example the rose flower having both red and white dots in it. The expression two colours / dominant and recessive characters in the flower is called codominance. Because both expresses at the same time. This codominance genotype is also heterogeneous.

Andru [333]

Answer:

Dendrites, cell body, axon hillock, axon, synaptic terminals, biceps brachii.

Explanation:

Neurons are the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. The neurons helps in the transmission of nerve impulse in the body. Two main types of neuron are somatic neuron and motor neuron.

The signal is first reach to dendrites. From the dendrites, the signal transmit to the cell body and then to the axon hillock. The signal then transmits to the axon. At the end of neuron the message is transmitted to the synaptic terminal. The nerve impulse finally reaches to the biceps brachii and results in the flexion of the arm at the elbow.
