Streamlined bodies for swimming?
The correct statement is D. APICAL MERISTEMS ARE SOMETIMES CHANGED INTO FLORAL MERISTEMS.
Apical Meristems are found in the tips of the roots and in the buds of the shoots. They supply cells for the plants to grow in length.
Apical Meristems are found in herbaceous plants, woody plants, grasses, and flowering plants.
In flowering plants, shoot apical meristem develops into an inflorescence meristem which produces the floral meristem. The floral meristem is responsible for the production of the sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels of the flower.
They provide information on shared ancestry and evolutionary relationships.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Genetic Drift.
Explanation:
- In any population of any species having two or more alleles encoding for different genes, the frequency of occurrence of each allele among the individuals of a population can vary.
- The frequency of one allele may be far more or far less than the frequency of other alleles.
- The frequency of any particular allele is dependent on factors like random mating among individuals as well as natural selection, that tends to increase the frequency of those alleles which provide a survival advantage to the individual in a given environment.
- Genetic drift can be defined as a phenomenon due to which the frequency of an allele encoding for a particular gene undergoes drastic change (increase or decrease) in a population due to random mating as well as natural selection.
- In the given statement, one individual of an isolated population of piranhas underwent synonymous mutation in the beta-globin encoding gene.
- A synonymous mutation can be defined as such a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene that does not affect the sequence, structure or function of the protein encoded by it.
- The increase in the frequency of the mutated form of the beta-globin gene after five generations to 5% indicates that due to the impact of random mating or natural selection or both, this has happened.
