Answer:
Option B, chemical energy to thermal energy
Explanation:
All living organism feed on food that contains energy in the form of chemical energy. Once the food is intake and processed for fulfilling energy requirement of all metabolic processes with in a cell, the remaining energy is released as heat (thermal energy). Thus, an amoeba while consuming a sugar molecule converts chemical energy with in the sugar to thermal energy in the form of energy molecules.
Hence, option B is correct
Answer:
The correct option is C. Rare alleles tend to remain rare even when they are dominant.The distribution of a gene among individuals is determined by mating and environmental factors.
Explanation:
Most people believe that a rare allele would only be recessive. But this is not correct. A rare allele can be dominant. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population will depend on the environmental factors. The alleles which code for traits that are best suitable for living in an environment will be seen in more abundance. The frequency of an allele to occur in a population also depends on the breeding trends of the population.
Answer:
16. Directional Selection
17. Disruptive Selection
18. Stabilizing Selection
19. Natural Selection
20. Adaptation
Explanation:
In population genetics, directional selection/positive selection is a mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes.
Disruptive Selection would show phenotypes (individuals with groups of traits) of both extremes but have very few individuals in the middle.
Stabilizing Selection. Occurs when individuals at the extremes of the range of characteristic are selected against. This means that the "average" individuals are selected for.
