Answer:
C. Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.
D. Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.
E. Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.
Explanation:
The presence of genetic variations among the individuals of a population is required for natural selection to be operative. Natural selection targets the beneficial genetic variations present in the population. Natural selection refers to the differential reproductive and survival success of organisms of a population due to some beneficial genetic traits. These organisms with beneficial genetic traits are able to survive and leave more progeny under prevailing conditions.
If the natural selection has occurred in the ground finch population for the beak size, the beak size should be a genetic trait since natural selection works on genetic traits only. The finch population should have variations with respect to the beak size. The finches having the larger beak size that enabled them to feed on larger, tougher seeds should have higher survival and reproductive fitness during the drought.
Under these conditions, natural selection would favor the finches with larger beak size and would eventually result in an increase in the average beak size of the future generations.
Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilbrium, we have
p + q = 1
where p = frequency of dominant allele and q = frequency of recessive allele. So
p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96
Consequently we have
• p² = 0.9216 = frequency of hom ozygous domininant genotype
• pq = 0.0768 = frequency of heterozygous genotype
• q² = 0.0016 = frequency of hom ozygous recessive genotype
since
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
Answer:
Chlorophyll and sun light.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis:
It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.
Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen
water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.
Chemical equation:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
The glucose is converted into pyruvate and produces ATP through cellular respiration and produces oxygen.
