Altruism increases biotic potential because individual survival is sacrificed for the sake of others in the group.

<h3>Biotic potential</h3>

The biotic potential of a population is the maximum population size that can be reached at optimum environmental factors.

Altruism means selflessness. A way of prioritizing the needs of others over one's own.

If the members of a population are altruistic, there will be minimal competition and the biotic potential of such a population will increase.

A scientist is studying fruit fly wings. Straight wings are dominant, and curly wings are recessive. Which statement correctly d

svetoff [14.1K]

The offspring will have one allele for straight wings and one allele for curly wings.

Explanation:

Let W be straight wings (big letter for dominant allele)
Let w be curly wings (small letter for recessive allele)

Each fly has two alleles.
If a parent is true breeding, it only has one type of allele.
Parent 1 = WW (straight wings)
Parent 2 = ww (curly wings)

Cross the parents: WW x ww in a Punnett square (see photo below)
This is the F1 generation (generation produced by crossing the first parents).
There are only Ww offspring.

Therefore,
The offspring will have one allele for straight wings and one allele for curly wings.
