Answer:
The options
a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness
b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance
c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness
d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance
e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift
The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.
b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance
Explanation:
In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.
It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)
of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.
Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
If you use chemicals to kill insects, you could risk getting the chemicals in unwanted areas. This could kill plants, animals, and other living things. You could also contaminate water if the chemicals get rinsed/drained into a water source.
Answer:
<em>Organisms that are eaten by the mayfly will increase.</em>
<em>Organisms that eat mayfly will decrease at first.</em>
<em>Organisms that eat mayfly would consume more of other organisms in their diet</em>
Explanation:
her get killed or they will migrate from the stream that is polluted. The population of the organisms on which the mayfly larva fed would increase as it will have a lesser number of predators now.
On the other hand, the organisms which fed on the mayfly would decrease at first as they will have a lesser amount of food available. They might find another source of food in order to survive.
An object in motion needs less force
to continue moving because the inertia or the resistance to change in motion
was already overcome and the sliding friction that opposes a moving object is
also lesser. Therefore, <span>it is easier to
move an object at constant velocity as you only need to overcome the resisting
forces of the object.</span>
