The correct answer is option D, that is regular or uniform.
Explanation:
The individuals in a population can be spaced in a distinct manner known as the dispersion patterns. The most common arrangement is the clumped dispersion in which these individuals are clustered together. In random dispersion, the individuals are aligned randomly, and in uniform or regular dispersion, the individuals are spaced evenly.
The given case is an illustration of regular or uniform distribution. It is less common in comparison to clumped distribution. The pattern of uniform or regular distribution is witnessed in the populations of the species in which the distance between the adjacent individuals is enhanced. The requirement to enhance or increase the space between the individuals usually originates due to competition for a resource like nutrients or moisture.
refers to a single inherited phenotypic trait that is controlled by two or more different genes. ... Each of the genes that contributes to a polygenic trait, has an equal influence and each of the alleles has an additive effect on the phenotype outcome.
Polygenic trait is trait that is controlled by more than one gene. This is different than Mendelian genetics in which one gene controls one trait (e.g. flower color). Expressed phenotype is mix of all genes that control it (each gene has the same influence on phenotype).
Traits that are polygenic are height, skin and hair color, intelligence etc.
