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).

Rzqust [24]

Answer: The progeny of this cross do not conform to a 1:1:1:1 ratio

Explanation: This is because out of the 200 total resulting progeny, we must have 50 in each phenotype class to conform with the 1:1:1:1 which is not so as we have 48 in one of the phenotypic class already. Therefore, it did not conform to the ratio.

You are studying with a classmate, who explains that increasing the amount of nutrients in a lake helps submerged, rooted aquati
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

E-You disagree because the resulting increase in phytoplankton at the surface would inhibit sunlight from penetrating into the water, thus inhibiting photosynthesis in the submerged plants.

Explanation:

Eutrophication is the process wherein nutrients specifically phosphorus and nitrogen are present in excess in a water body such as a lake. The increased concentration of nutrients promoter the growth of cyanobacteria and algae such as phytoplankton.

The increased population of phytoplankton in surface water reduces the oxygen availability and clarity of water for the organisms present in deeper layers.  Also, reduced clarity of water limits the amount of solar radiations penetrating the surface water to reach the deeper layers.

Increased nutrient levels of the lake would rather inhibit the growth of submerged plants due to reduced availability of sunlight as caused by presence of phytoplankton in surface water.

How is dna passed to new cells during cell division?
lesya692 [45]
In mitosis (regular cell division)
the cell (mother cell) duplicates it's DNA and aligns it down the center of the cell, so that when it splits each new cell (daughter cell) gets the exact DNA as the mother cell
