The difference between adaptation and natural selection is that adaptation is the characteristic while natural selection is the mechanism that increases the probability that an advantageous characteristic is passed on and becomes commonplace.

A population of Drosophila simulans carries three alleles at the white locus: the wild-type allele at 86 percent, w1 at 9 percen

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

the population is polymorphic.

Explanation:

Polymorphism is the discontinuous genetic variation that leads to the production of varying unique kinds or forms of individuals within the population of an individual species.

Take for instance, allelic polymorphism is seen in the presence of multiple alleles that is produced within the members of an individual species as in peppered moths, human blood groups, and two-spotted ladybugs.

We have different causes of polymorphism: polymorphism can be sustained by an equity among variation developed by new mutations and natural selection. Genetic variation might be due to frequency-dependent selection.

Which of the following can impact the timing of the blowfly lifecycle?

Gelneren [198K]

Due to its short life cycle this fly can easily multiply if its population is not controlled. The house fly is known to carry more than 100 diseases including tuberculosis and cholera
