Consider a flower population that produces different sizes of blooms and depends on bees for reproduction. Large blooms attract

larger bees; small blooms attract smaller bees. Describe how changes in the bee population might lead to disruptive, stabilizing, and directional selection in the flowers.

The parallel evolution of flowering plants and pollinators represents a case of coevolution. It may lead to different types of natural selection.

<h3>Disruptive, stabilizing, and directional selection</h3>

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that favors extreme phenotypes (in this case, flowers too small or too big).

Stabilizing selection is a type of selection that leads to decreased genetic variation  (in this case, all red flowers to attract pollinators)

Finally, directional selection is a type of natural selection where an extreme phenotype can be favored (in this case, taller plants to be noted by bees).

How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Mazyrski [523]
If all other resources are in adequate supply, then the light intensity will increase the rate of photosynthesis. To balance it out, other things then usually start becoming short in supply, so things often don't change.

If the frequency of an allele is 0.75, how many copies of this allele should be in a population of 300 diploid individuals?
Ray Of Light [21]

I have provided the options below:

a. 150

b. 225

c. 300

d. 450

e. 75

Answer:

150

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg law states, the allelic frequencies of a gene that is, q and p follow the relationship p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, if the population is in equilibrium.

Therefore p^2+q^2+2pq = 1, can be used to calculate the percentage of the allelic frequencies i.e. p^2 and q^2

Allelic frequency = 0.75.

Therefore, the percentage of the allele in the population would be given by

0.75^2 = 0.5625 = 56%.

And the total number of individuals with this allele in the population:

number of individuals = 56×300÷100

= 168 or

150 nearest figure.
