Rasek [7]3 years ago

Answer:

For every gene, there may be several possible versions. Different genes carry instructions for making different proteins. If the gene copies are heterozygous, two types of protein are produced, if the gene copies are h0m0zyg0us, one type of protein is produced.

Answer:

It may mean that the two proteins evolve in slightly different directions, so that one version works better in one set of conditions and the other under different conditions.

Please note that the cost to the organism of making two proteins instead of one is minimal. Basically, it involves adding one coding gene to the tens of thousands of genes that are already there (assuming that the sum of the amounts of the two proteins is about the same as the amount of the original one protein).

Different versions of the same protein may also be made by differential splicing of the mRNA, or by the many mechanisms of post-translational modification.

A small number of finches live in a protected bird sanctuary. Natural selection
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Natural selection  is least likely to occur in this population if:

  • The resources are continuously available

For a species to survive in an area, it is essential that the place has enough resources like nutrients, space, water etc. If these resources are available then there will be less chances of competition which will lead to lesser chances of natural selection.

  • The number of of death rates is equal to the number of of birth rates

In an balanced ecosystem, the number of birth rates is equal to the number of death rates for a population. If the number of death rates is lesser to the number of birth rates then the competition for resources will lead to natural selection.
