Answer:
The options
a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness
b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance
c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness
d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance
e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift
The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.
b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance
Explanation:
In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.
It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)
of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.
Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
The answer is D, a desert biome,
Answer:
Direct and indirect sunlight is the main cause for the 4 different seasons
Explanation:
The answer is <span>D- thigmotropism
</span>
Tropism is plant growth in a response to a stimulus.
Through the process of elimination:
A - phototropism is plant growth in a response to light.
B - Photoperiodism is an organism reaction to the lengths of days and nights.
C - Gravitropism is plant growth in a response to gravity.
D - Thigmotropism is plant growth in a response to contact
Since <span>a grapevine makes a contact with a fence, this is an example of thigmotropism.</span>
H. The suns energy is conducted to your skin by the glass.
