What factors determine if a species is fit to survive?

Biology
1 answer:
Tresset [83]2 years ago
4 0

Answer: variation, reproduction, and heritability.

Explanation:  Genetic variation is an important force in evolution as it allows natural selection to increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population. Genetic variation is advantageous to a population because it enables some individuals to adapt to the environment while maintaining the survival of the population.  

All species must reproduce to survive. Organisms cannot live forever, so they must reproduce to allow their species to continue to live on. Reproduction is nature's way of allowing a species to survive.

Higher heritability means the trait evolves faster; fewer generations are required for the trait to increase to the same degree as a trait with lower heritability. For this reason, genetic correlation and heritability show how a trait might change from one generation to the next and into the future.

Complete the flowchart to identify the process by which blue-light photoreceptors and auxin control phototropism in plants.
DaniilM [7]
In plant seeds, the photoreceptor phytochrome is responsible for the process termed photomorphogenesis<span>. This occurs when a seed initially situated in an environment of complete darkness is exposed to light. A brief exposure to electromagnetic radiation, particularly that whose wavelength is within the red and far-red lights, results in the activation of the photorecepter phytochrome within the seed. This in turn sends a signal through the signal transduction pathway into the nucleus, and triggers hundreds of genes responsible for growth and development</span>

A farmer crossed a yellow maize plant (Yy) with another yellow maize plant (YY). He planted 200 seeds from this cross. How many
Vladimir [108]

Answer: 200 seeds will be yellow.

Explanation: In this crossing, one parent will produce half of its gametes carrying allele Y and the other half carrying allele y. The other parent will have gametes with allele Y. After fecundation, the offspring could phenotype YY or phenotype Yy.

In genetics, Y is related to the dominant allele and y to the recessive one. In this case, having the Y dominant allele determine the color yellow. Therefore, as all of the offspring has the dominant allele Y for yellow, all of the seeds will be yellow, i.e., <u>200 seeds will be yellow</u>.
