Answer;

A 5 percent increase in the reproductive success of some genotypes, but a 5 percent decrease in the reproductive success of other genotypes.

Explanation.

Genotypes with increaed reproductive success will have larger gene pool than other with 5% reduction.Thefore higher frequency of survival.Besides the high reproductive success ensure genetic variation which leads to changes in genome .

Full Question.

Which of the following would most likely lead to a change in the genetic structure of a population?

a. An increase of 1.1-fold in the reproductive success of all genotypes

b. A decrease of 20 percent in the reproductive success of all genotypes

c. A 5 percent increase in the reproductive success of some genotypes, but a 5 percent decrease in the reproductive success of other genotypes

d. Both a and b will likely change the genetic structure of the population more than c will.

e. None of the above is likely to change the genetic structure

Answer:

The answer is C.

A 5 percent increase in the reproductive success of some genotypes, but a 5 percent decrease in the reproductive success of other genotypes

Explanation:

Incomplete question, here is the full question: https://quizlet.com/153540854/biology-107-part1-flash-cards/

For the genetic structure of a population to change, we can either depend on natural selection or mutations but there has to be an imbalance.

The answers given in the options A and B are referring to changes in genotypes which surely affects the genetic structure of the population but the way these options are given is in equilibrium, meaning they create and imbalance but then counter that with something else.

In option C, some genotypes get a 5 percent increase while some get a 5 percent decrease in their reproductive success, which will most likely result in a change in the genetic structure of a population.

I hope this answer helps.

What is the relationship between Endomembrane System, Insulin and Insulin Receptor, activation by phosphorylation, membrane-boun
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The relationship between endomembrane system, insulin and insulin receptor, activation by phosphorylation, membrane-bound polyribosomes, and glucose transport channels is the eukariotic cell, because within it, they work together with the organelles to modify, summarize and transport lipids and proteins from the gut and absorb nutrients.

Explanation:

The Endomembrane system varies from membranes and organelles, but basically, it is structured by the nuclear envelope and lysosomes, the plasma membrane and several cytoplasmic organelles, as the ER, the Golgi apparatus, secretory granules, vesicles, lysosomes, endosomes, and the endoplasmic reticulum all working together to transfer, modify and package lipids and proteins macromoecules to the eukaryotic cell, from one part of it  to another, and from in to the outside of it also.

The membrane bound polyribosomes are attached to the cell endoplasmic reticulum. The bound ribosomes, used within the cell membrane or expelled from the cell by exocytosis, will produce insulin and they will become membrane bound to control the intake, protein modifications, fusion lipids and sugar breakdown. The insulin is a membrane bound polyribosomes protein synthesized in the ER, which travels along the endomembrane system. This hormone controls glucose and lipid metabolism  or energy function, if glucose level is high, insulin synthesis is activated.  

Synthesized and traveling through the endomembrane system, the insulin gets to its receptor called tyrosine kinase and activates it, phosphorylating and recruiting different substrate adaptors.

 The brand new insulin polypeptide chains go directly into the endoplasmic reticulum by the ribosome and then transported to where they are needed as insulin regulates sugar uptake into adipose tissue and skeletal muscle through glucose transport channels or glucose transporters GLUT4 within vesicles, which are directed to the plasma membrane, this is also the gut and nutrient absorption.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

d. Character displacement

Explanation:

Character displacement is the phenomenon in which the similar species living in the same geographical region with similar niches differentiate in order to reduce their niche overlap and avoid competitive exculsion. Just like in this case of two- spot and three -spot avenger beetles as their timmings for hunting is different where their ranges overlap. So it's the good example of character displacement,
