What does it mean to say that an allele is "fixed" in the population?

Biology
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]4 years ago

Alleles are the individual genes that give rise to certain characteristics in an organism.

When an allele is "fixed" to a population, this means that the characteristic will be constant & most likely will not change until the environment changes as well.

Like with arctic hare, the alleles that influence the color of their coats (white in the winter & brown in the spring/summer) will stay because any fur pattern other than the aforementioned characteristics with result in becoming someone else's food with the lack of camouflage.

Hope that helps!

How do cells in a meristem differ from cells in other types of plant tissue? see concept 35.2 (page 764) how do cells in a meris
mylen [45]
<span>Cells in a meristem differ from cells in other types of plant tissue differ in that they continue to divide. They are embryonic tissue that never differentiated or matured, and they give the plant the ability to grow. They are true stem cells in that they continue to divide via mitosis, and a portion of them remain undeveloped throughout the life of the plant. They are totipotent by logic, which means that any adult plant cell can be derived from them. It is this quality that allows a plant to grow new leaves if some are torn off and that scientists strive to unravel.</span>
