If a population of bacteria were all exactly the same, could the process of natural selection act on that population

Biology
1 answer:
stira [4]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Natural selection acts on existing genetic variation in a population. If there is a mutation that makes the bacteria more fit, then it is more likely to survive and divide to pass its mutation on to daughter cells. Eventually, this variation will become more common in the population. This is natural selection in action.

Examples of mutations that could make the bacteria more fit are if it has antibiotic resistance, the ability to use a new substance as a food source, or is more able to grow at a range of different temperatures.

If no variation exists, then there is no genetic reason one bacterium is fitter than other, so no natural selection will take place.

Vesna [10]

Austin who was securely attached in Mary Ainsworth's theory of mother-infant attachment likely showed confidence in his caregiver's ability to protect him.

Options to this question were not provided. However, it is worthy to note that Mary Ainsworth's theory of mother-infant attachment classifies the relationship that children have with their caregivers as; Secure, Resistant, and Avoidant.

The Securely attached children are distressed when their mother is absent, they avoid strangers when their mother is not around but become friendly to strangers when their mothers are present.

They are also happy when their mother is around.

Generally, these sorts of children are confident and exhibit high self-esteem. So, Austin must have displayed some of these qualities.
