An adaptation or adaptive trait is a trait/characteristic that has evolved in a population of organisms which provides a functio

nal advantage. Adaptations increase the biological fitness of a population. Fitness is defined as the ability to survive and pass genes on to subsequent generations. For the purposes of this assignment, you are to choose an adaptive trait common to more than one species. For example, birds and bats both have wings.
Write a 2-3 page (500 – 750 words, 12 point font) paper including the following elements.

a. Describe what makes this trait an adaptation. Briefly describe how the trait evolved; e.g., mutation, genetic drift, migration and/or natural selection.
b. What is the difference between homologous and analogous traits?

Arte-miy333 [17]
The answer is x-linked recessive. It is apparent that the color blindness affects the males hence it's caused by a sex-linked recessive gene. Males have XY homologous chromosomes. The X sister chromosome has more genes than the Y sister chromosome, hence most males are hemizygous for sex linked genes. This means that even recessive genes on the X chromosome are likely to be expressed in males.

Which is a feature of a tonic receptor? Select one: a. The action potential occurs when there is a change in response to a chang
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

For this receptor, the stimulus begins with an explosion of action potentials.

that would be the correct option.

Explanation:

A tonic receptor is one that is activated when the action potentials were maintained over time and during the signaling of the receptor.

Tone receptors require continuous stimulation over a period of time to trigger a response and deliver it to the central nervous system.

It keeps the nervous system constantly active in the environment that surrounds it.

They are slowly adaptable, an example of these receptors are the merkel and ruffini receptors.
