Answer:

b. stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Stabilizing selection is a from of natural selection that selects against the two extreme ends of a phenotypic trait while favoring the intermediate phenotypes.

Stabilizing selection is the opposite of disruptive or diversifying selection that favors the extreme forms of a trait.

For example, if a plant inhabits an area with low sunlight and high wind speeds, short plants will not be able to compete for sunlight. Whereas, extremely tall plants may receive mechanical damage from the wind speed.

Explain why scientirsts concluded that the instructions for species characteristics were carried in DNA.
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid is said to contain instruction for species characteristics because it carries the information that characterize an individual.

DNA are made up of Nitrogenous bases that are unique codes specify by an individual and no two person has the same the DNA.

Genes are genetic information or instruction that specify an individual. it is located in the chromosome in the nucleus. DNA contains gene which helps to make molecules called proteins. It is the basis of all inheritance and the expression of the gene is what produces the phenotype that is visible.

In humans, six fingers (f) is the dominant trait; five fingers (f) is the recessive trait. if the father is heterozygous for six
rodikova [14]

The probability of the offspring of a heterozygous father and homzygous mother having five fingers is 50%.

<h3>How to calculate genotype of a cross?</h3>

According to this question, a gene coding for the number of fingers in humans is involved. The allele for six fingers (F) is the dominant trait while the allele for five fingers (f) is the recessive trait.

If a cross between a heterozygous father that posseses a genotype of Ff and a homzygous mother that posseses a genotype of ff, the following offsprings will be produced:

  • Ff
  • Ff
  • ff
  • ff

This shows that the probability of the offspring of a heterozygous father and homzygous mother having five fingers is ½ (50%).

How do enzymes act as catalysts? (Choose ALL that apply) They allow for fewer collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates) The
vazorg [7]

Answer:

- They allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates)

- They lower the amount of activation energy needed to complete the reaction.

- They speed up chemical reactions to form more products

Explanation:

Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serves as catalyst in living systems. Like every other catalyst, enzymes function to SPEED UP the rate of biochemical reactions by LOWERING/REDUCING the activation energy, which is the energy required for a reactant to form product (completion of reaction).

Enzymes like other catalysts causes faster movement of molecules in the reaction i.e. they allow for more collisions of molecules (enzymes + substrates). This causes the rate of reaction to increase and hence, speeden the reaction.
