Species change over time. -The mechanism that produces the change is natural selection: the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on variation in their traits. Natural selection acts on individuals but individuals do not evolve; their descendants do.
Answer: Selenium is important for reproduction, thyroid gland function, DNA production, and protecting the body from damage caused by free radicals and from infection
Explanation:
Selenium is important for reproduction, thyroid gland function, DNA production, and protecting the body from damage caused by free radicals and from infection.
G=Green....because your starting plant is heterozygous it must be Gg
g = yellow ....because yellow is recessive, it must be gg
Gg x gg
Do a Punnet Square and you get
Gg (2)
gg (2)
So half of your plants will be green (but heterozygous) and half will be yellow (homozygous)
Complete question:
Thinking creatively about evolutionary mechanisms, identify at least
two schemes that could generate allelic polymorphism in a population except natural selection that favors heterozygotes.
<u>Select the two correct answers.</u>
-inbreeding among individuals in the population
-purifying selection against mutational variants of alleles in the population
-continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
-mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity
-genetic drift of alleles common in the population
-events leading to genetic bottleneck effect
Answer:
The two events that might favor heterozygotes among the options are
- The Continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
- Mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity. These might favor heterozygous frequencies.
