How does darwin theory of evolution by natural selection explain how species change over time?

Biology
1 answer:
WINSTONCH [101]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

some traits become more common, others less. ... The traits that become more common are the ones that are “adaptive” or “increase fitness” (that is, a creature's chances of living longer and producing more offspring).

Consider a locus with two alleles - B and b. B is dominant, while b is recessive. There is no mutation. B has a selective advant
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

0.09

Explanation:

<h3><u>Before selection</u></h3>

Total number in population = 1000

Genotype frequencies

Genotype frequency of BB = 500/1000 = 0.5

Genotype frequency of Bb = 250/1000 = 0.25

Genotype frequency of bb = 250/1000 = 0.25

Allele frequencies

Allele frequency of B = BB genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.5 + (0.25/2) = 0.625

Allele frequency of b = bb genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.25 + (0.25/2) = 0.375

<h3><u>After selection</u></h3>

We are told that after selection, the genotype frequency of bb is changed as they become 50% less fit. This means the frequency of bb individuals changes from 250 to 125 individuals (50% reduction).

Now the total number of individuals is 500 + 125 + 250 = 875.

Genotype frequencies

Genotype frequency of BB = 500/875 = 0.57

Genotype frequency of Bb = 250/875 = 0.29

Genotype frequency of bb = 125/875 = 0.14

Allele frequencies

Allele frequency of B = BB genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.57 + (0.29/2) = 0.715

Allele frequency of b = bb genotype frequency + half of the Bb genotype frequency = 0.14 + (0.29/2) = 0.285

<h3><u>Change in frequency of B after 1 generation</u></h3>

0.715 - 0.625 = 0.09

What is a good strategy for helping to prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Taking antibiotics only on doctor prescription and completing the full course of antibiotics.

Explanation:

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria do not get harmed or killed by a drug which is made against them. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics are the main culprits which induce antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

To prevent the spreading of antibiotic-resistant bacteria antibiotics should only be taken on doctor's prescription. Full course of antibiotics should be done to eliminate all the bacteria which ensures that no bacteria is left to gain antibiotic resistance against the drug.

Antibiotics do not affect or kill virus therefore they should not be taken in viral infection.
