Answer:
The correct answer is - neurulation
Explanation:
The neural groove is a groove of the neural plate which is a thick plate that is enclosed by the neural folds of an embryo. The neural grove forms the neural tube which expands and develops into the spinal cord and brain.
The development of the neural grove is taken place during the process known as neurulation which is characterized by all characteristic development related to the neural groove and ventricular system.
Answer:
Nucleic acids are the most important macromolecules for the continuity of life. They carry the genetic blueprint of a cell and carry instructions for the functioning of the cell.
Answer:
The options
a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness
b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance
c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness
d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance
e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift
The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.
b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance
Explanation:
In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.
It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)
of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.
Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
