Answer: option D.

Phenotype

Explanation:

Theory of natural selection shows that different organism survive, adapt and reproduce in their environment due to their different phenotypic variation. The phenotypic variation exist among individual organisms and it is heritable which is transfer from one generation to another.

Phenotype are traits or physical characteristics or observable characteristics of organism e.g organisms appearance, behavior e.t.c.

Answer:

d. phenotype

Explanation:

<em>Natural selection exert pressure on the physical characteristics of organisms, that is, the phenotype.</em>

Natural selection refers to the variation in the survival and reproduction of individuals within a population based on how adaptable they are to the environment in which they live.

<u>The forces of natural selection act on the physical characteristics of individuals, that is how physically fit or unfit individuals are. Individuals that posses physical characters that makes them to be better adapted to the environment survives and reproduce better than their counterparts that are less adapted. Natural selection thus selects for the physical characters that make the individuals to be better adapted.</u>

The correct option is d.

Many studies have indicated that there is some genetic influence on body weight and composition. Researchers have established a
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that due to dietary scarcity during human evolution, people are prone to obesity by storing energy as fat, an ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance  and this is advantageous during times of food availability. individuals with greater adipose reserves would more likely survive famine. This tendency to store fat could lead to obesity.

FTO is an enzyme that is encoded in humans by FTO gene located on chromosome 16. Increase in this enzyme is associated with the regulation of energy intake but not feeding reward. Also, the set point theory indicates that bodies are meant to stay within a narrow weight range but it is susceptible to chnage overtime.
