1) <u><em>Natural Selection- General speaking, something must cause differential reproduction and then better suited individuals will survive over time.</em></u>

<u><em>- Detailed Explanation -</em></u>

<u><em>Natural selection is the process in which individuals whom are better suited to their environment will have an increase in fitness. It occurs over multiple generations and can take a very long period of time to occur. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>For natural selection to occur, the following must be true: </em></u>

<u><em>1. There must be variation in traits (every individual can't be identical) </em></u>

<u><em>2. There must be differential reproduction (some individuals are more likely to reproduce than others) </em></u>

<u><em>3. Traits are passed on from generation to generation </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Thus, the first step in natural selection is that something must cause differential reproduction. This could be the introduction of a predator, a disease, a random mutation that is detrimental, a change in resource availability such as a drought, and so forth. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>This image shows how a genetic mutation is unfavorable and is selected against, but the same process holds for a gene that is unfavorable during any scenario.</em></u>

<u><em>This event causes some individuals to survive and reproduce and some to be less successful. For example, a predator is introduced and it hunts and kills mostly individuals with shorter legs that run slowly. Or the environment undergoes a long drought and individuals in the species who have a gene that helps them perspire (sweat) less are more successful. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Over multiple generations, the genetic composition of the species changes. Maybe within six generations the predator has completely wiped out individuals with shorter legs. Maybe within two generations the drought completely eliminates individuals with a gene that results in excess perspiration. The amount of time will vary.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>2) Mutation - A change in the genetic structure of an organism.</em></u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u><em>Usually, a mutation has to be expressed as some macro-functional characteristic although some may be hidden in internal systems.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>3) Genetic Drift-  Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an existing allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms.</em></u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u><em>The effect of genetic drift is larger when there are few copies of an allele, whereas when there are many copies the effect is smaller. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Genetic drift describes random fluctuations in the number of gene variants in a population. Once it begins, genetic drift will continue until the involved allele is either lost by a population or until it is the only allele present in a population at a particular locus. Both possibilities reduce the genetic diversity of a population. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>Genetic drift can cause a new population to be genetically distinct from its original population, which has led to the hypothesis that it plays a role in the evolution of new species.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>4) Gene Flow- Gene flow is a concept in population genetics to refer to the movement of genes or alleles between interbreeding populations of a particular species.</em></u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u><em>Gene flow is an important mechanism for transferring genetic diversity among populations. Migrants into and out of a population may result in a change in allele frequencies, thus changing the distribution of genetic diversity within the populations. High rates of gene flow can reduce the genetic differentiation between the two groups, increasing homogeneity. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>It is thought that gene flow constrains speciation by combining the gene pools of the groups and thus, prevents the development of differences in genetic variations that would have led to full speciation. It is expected to be lower in species that have low dispersal or mobility, occur in fragmented habitats, there is a long distance between populations, and smaller population sizes. </em></u>

<u><em> </em></u>

<u><em>It includes different kinds of events, such as pollen being blown to a new destination or people moving to new cities or countries. However, there are certain factors that serve as barriers to gene flow. Some of the factors affecting the rate of gene flow include physical barriers, geological events and geographical barriers.</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

<u><em>5)Non Random mating- The nonrandom mating is a selective pattern.</em></u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u><em>The nonrandom pattern of mating is an assortative pattern of sexual reproduction. During the reproduction, similar phenotypes are selected for mating. It is a random process. It is also known as positive assortative mating. </em></u>

Which fruit has one seed with grooves on it?
Ronch [10]
<span>The answer is c. peach or nectarine

A peach</span> has only one seed. Its seeds have grooves around it.

Banana has many seeds although very small to notice. A cherry has one or two seeds but it does not have grooves on it. An orange seed has grooves on it but there are a lot of them in one fruit.

Character displacement differs from resource partitioning because character displacement _________. A. is a fundamental differen
mr_godi [17]

Character displacement differs from resource partitioning because character displacement  is directly linked to the evolution of genotypes that have allowed alternate resource use

<h3>What is genotypes ?</h3>

An organism's genotype is made up of all of its genetic components. The alleles or variations that an individual carries in a specific gene or genetic region are also referred to as the genotype. The number of copies of each chromosome found in that species, also known as ploidy, determines how many alleles a person can have for a certain gene.

In diploid organisms like humans, there are two complete sets of chromosomes, which means that each person has two alleles for each gene. Homozygous refers to a genotype when both alleles are the same. Heterozygous refers to a genotype when there are two distinct alleles.

Phenotype, the observable qualities and attributes of an individual or creature, is influenced by genotype.

How does treatment for a bacterial infection differ from treatment for a virus?
kari74 [83]
The answer is: you can treat bacterial infections, not viruses with antibiotics.

The use of antibiotics in viral infections is not effective and many organizations recommend the use of antibiotics only when there is a documented bacterial infection. The treatment of viral infections has been difficult for they are tiny and  replicate inside the cell.
