How can mutations affect evolutionary processes? A) Mutations are novel genes that increase an organism’s fitness in the environ

ment. B) Mutations are new genotypes that cause an organism to be more poorly fit due to non-functional essential genes within its genome. C) Mutations are changes in the genome that can code for new phenotypes that may be selected for or against by the environmental pressures. D) Mutations are changes to protein structure that create new genotypes that can be selected for or against by the environmental pressures.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect as mutations may be detrimental to the organism and are not always beneficial. Option B is incorrect as there are instances where mutations may enable organisms to be better adapted to the environment. Option D is incorrect as genotypes are not selected for or selected against by environmental pressures, it is only the phenotype (exhibitable/ visible traits) that can be selected for or against, hence option C is the answer.

Is loss of predator a density-dependent or density-independent factor?
NeTakaya

Answer:

density-dependent

Explanation:

limiting factors cause a population's per capita growth rate to change—typically, to drop—with increasing population density. one example is competition for limited food among members of a population. whereas, density-independent factors affect per capita growth rate independent of population density. examples include natural disasters like forest fires.

Assume all are homozygous. Alleles: A=agouti, C=chinchilla, a=albino, A is dominant over C and a, C is dominant over a.
Luden [163]

Answer:

The punnet square can be completed as follows:

       C        C

A    AC       AC

A    AC       AC

The results from the punnet square show that all of the offsprings form will be agouti as agouti is the dominant trait. However, the genotype of the offspring will be heterozygous carrying the alleles AC.

A dominant trait is the trait which arises due to a dominant allele. The dominant allele masks the effect of the recessive allele.

A heterozygous genotype occurs when the alleles of a gene are different.
