Complete question:
Thinking creatively about evolutionary mechanisms, identify at least
two schemes that could generate allelic polymorphism in a population except natural selection that favors heterozygotes.
<u>Select the two correct answers.</u>
-inbreeding among individuals in the population
-purifying selection against mutational variants of alleles in the population
-continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
-mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity
-genetic drift of alleles common in the population
-events leading to genetic bottleneck effect
Answer:
The two events that might favor heterozygotes among the options are
- The Continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
- Mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity. These might favor heterozygous frequencies.

Answer: (c) seed type
Explanation:
An independent variable is the one which can be altered or manually manipulated in an experiment. The effect of such manipulation can be examined on the dependent variable of the experiment. The dependent variable cannot be manipulated in an experiment instead it is the outcome of the experiment.
The seed type is the correct answer because the seed type can vary and the effect of which can be examined on the seed germination process and rate of seed germination.
Answer:
<em>The correct option is D) the rate of photosynthesis increases and then levels off.</em>
Explanation:
Photosynthesis can be described as the process by which plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and water by using light energy from the Sun. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of this reaction.
As we increase the intensity of light, the rate of photosynthesis also increases. But after a certain time, the reaction rate will level off as there might be enough food produced or the light energy might have caused the temperature to rise which would have caused the enzymes to get denatured.
The answer would be D, evolved from a common ancestor
Hope this helps!
