It is a mode of natural selection where an extreme phenotype is favored by the other phenotypes causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the direction of that phenotype
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
In biology, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive, reproduce, mate and support evolution through gene transfer. A fitness of 0.28 signifies that only 28 percent of a given population are fit physically and able to reproduce while the remaining 72 % are unable to mate and hence cannot reproduce and contribute towards gene flow and evolution.
Hence, option B is correct
1 is C - see first attachment. Genotypes with Y's represent males, and big R represents red eyes, while little r represents white eyes. For example XRxr is a heterozygous (red-eyed) female, and XrYr is a homozygous white-eyed male.
2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.
3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)
The breakdown of tertiary and quartinary structures in a protein, a change in the active site
Answer:The predicted population of brain coral in a reef covering 120m² is ; ≈ 40
First step : Calculate the value of the default population density
Population density = population size (dive 1) / total area
= 4 / 12 = 0.33
Total area ;
∑ Area of each reef quadrant = length * width = 2 * 2 = 4m²
∴ Total area = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12m².
Final step : Determine the value of the predicted population of brain coral
Population density = ( predicted population ) / predicted area
0.33 = ( pp ) / 120m²
∴ Predicted population ( pp ) = 0.33 * 120
= 39.6 ≈ 40 brain corals
Hence we can conclude that the predicted population of brain coral is 40
