Answer:

It is expected that after 10 generations the most common circumference will be 15 cm.

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is recognized as a type of natural selection where the mean value of one trait is favored.

Imagine you are studying a population of finches on one of the Galápagos Islands. You have been recording many of the birds' phy
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

a) The change in the character of an organism relies upon the ability of the adaption on the base of the external change or the environment change, "An organism that is not able to adapt accordingly would not survive and eliminated from the population."

b) In the given case, Symmetric wings are far more suitable for the survivorship as it provides better flight than the organism with asymmetric wings, it is also given that there is 20% of the population have asymmetric wings.

After the storm which is selection pressure, there is the elimination of the entire bird population with asymmetrical wings from the ecosystem so the final frequency would be 100% of the entire population with symmetrical wings.

Seed size in a plant is a polygenic characteristic. A grower crosses two pure-breeding varieties of the plant and measures seed
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The F1 progeny is completely heterozygous for the <em>loci</em> of interest since they were obtained by mating between two pure-breeding plant lines. In the next generation, the backcross progeny will have homo-zygous individuals and therefore they will be more variable, resulting from meiosis in F1 hybrids

Explanation:

An F1 resulting from the cross between two pure-breeding plant lines will produce all hybrid individuals, all of them genetically (and phenotypically) identical. Meiosis in F1 hybrids is well known to produce homo-zygous genotypes and thus increases genetic diversity in progeny. For instance, for a single <em>locus</em>, the expected ratio of genotypes obtained from crossing two heterozygous parents is 1:2:1, i.e., one homo-zigous dominant individual, two heterozygous individuals (genetically identical to the parents) and one homo-zygous recessive individual; while the expected phenotypic ratio is 3:1 (i.e., 3 dominant expressing: 1 recessive expressing​).

If pregnancy among women does not occur, then menstruation occurs. The menstrual cycle usually lasts about 28 days.

<h3>What do women experience during their menstrual period? </h3>

During menstruation, women may experience abdominal cramps, headaches, backache, and nausea.

The stage in which a woman is most fertile is called Ovulation. During this step, an egg is released from the follicle in the ovaries.

If a fertilized egg successfully embeds itself in the uterine lining, then the woman becomes pregnant.

If the fertilized egg does not manage to embed in the uterine lining, then menstruation will occur.

The two main hormones that control the menstrual cycle are estrogen and progesterone. If the egg is not fertilized, then progesterone levels drop.

The estrogen needs to stop FSH to be produced to make sure only one egg matures in the cycle.

No system is completely closed off from its surroundings. Which represents a system that is almost completely closed?
stepladder [879]
I agree: a capped soda bottle has very limited contact with the surroundings, as it has to be relatively closed so that the gas bubbles don't escape.

The remaining options have contact either with air (A and D) or with water from the outside (B)
