<u>Answer</u>: Natural selection.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- The concept of <em>natural selection</em> was given by <em>Charles Darwin.</em>
- According to this concept, in a given environment the organisms that possess <em>better adaptations</em> have<em> higher chances of survival</em> and, leave behind a <em>greater number of progenies</em>.
- When malaria outbreak occurs, the allele frequencies change and only the organisms that possess the alleles which help them to <em>survive</em> this outbreak due to resistance against malarial infection will be selected by nature and<em> hence, this is an example of natural selection.</em>
The answer is C) 3/4
Let's analyze separately each of the traits:
Parental generation: AA x Aa
F1 generation: AA AA Aa Aa
So, all progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.
</span>Parental generation: BB x bb
F1 generation: Bb Bb Bb Bb
So, all progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.
</span>
Parental generation: Cc x Cc
<span>F1 generation: CC Cc Cc cc
</span>Only 3 (CC, Cc, Cc) out of 4 progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.
The genotypes for first two traits will not affect </span>phenotypical resemblance to the first parent. So, it only counts the third trait, for which the chance to have progeny that <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent is 3/4.</span>
Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment fitness.
Some organisms were fit to do all of these things, whereas others were not.
Scientific modeling is a scientific activity, the aim of which is also to make something a particular part or feature of the word easier to recognize, define, quantify, visualize, or even simulate by referencing it to an existing and usually commonly accepted knowledge.
