Answer:
Averaging the fitness of its members.
Explanation:
The fitness of a whole population can also be determined by averaging the fitness of its members. Absolute fitness is the ratio between the number of individuals with a genotype before selection versus after selection. Fitness is usually discussed in terms of genotypes, or collection of genes.
Answer:
D.) repressor DNA-binding site mutation
Explanation:
lacl prevents the repressor polypeptide is a mutant that prevent operon from binding lactose, and thus will bind to the operator and be non-inducible.. This mutant will represses the lac operon whether lactose is present or not and the lac operon will not be expressed. It is also called“super-supperesor".
The lacI locus – One type of mutant allele of lacI (callled I-) prevents the production of a repressor polypeptide or produces a polypeptide that will not allow to bind to the operator sequence.
This is also a constitutive expresser of the lac operon because absence of repressor binding permits transcription.
Answer:
C. Hypothesis
Explanation:
Hypothesis is a proposed explanation for a certain occurrence and when the explanation is conclusive, then it becomes a theory.
