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

Biology
1 answer:
Gemiola [76]3 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!

Can someone give me 4 examples of physical weathering
valkas [14]
Yes, sure!

1) Moving Water - Water, when running for a long period of time, can actually start to weather rocks.

2) <span>Ice wedging - Yep, this can cause rocks to weather as well. Water, when being constantly frozen and unfrozen weathers the rock due to the fact that water is able to expand.
</span>
3) Plant Roots - Ah, these little nutrient grabbers can certainly weather rocks over periods of time.

4) Winds - Winds can certainly physically weather the rocks, and it's probably the most common way they do.


<span>P.S. If this answer helped you, please, make sure to say "Thanks" just below my answer. It will help me a lot</span>
