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.

Visual acuity in animals primarily depends on the _______.
patriot [66]

The given blank can be filled with Cones.

The visual acuity can be defined as the clarity of the vision, it is related to the sharpness and the clearness of the image formed. The vision acuity is determined by the optical and the neural factors, it is dependent on the retinal focus and the sensitivity of the nerve cells and the brain.

The cones are the pointed, thick and short sensory receptors, present in the eye. They are responsible for the color vision and the sharpness or the acuity of the image. They work better in brighter light.

Pigeon breeders prize certain looks of their pigeons. They know that pairing certain pigeons results in offspring that exemplify
sweet [91]

Answer:

Option B, Observation 2

Explanation:

The four main observation of Darwin’s areas follows –  

Observation 1 – Variation occurs in the species with time leading to evolution. Offspring of two parents vary distinctly in traits such as height, color, weight etc. These variations are also affected by the surrounding environment

Observation 2-  

Based on observation 1, Darwin concluded that offspring inherit traits from their parents. These traits improve the odds of survival and only genetic traits will be passed. Traits developed in an individual due to environment will not be passed on.

Observation 3 –  

Offspring compete among themselves to survive.

Observation 4

The fittest among the competing species for survival will survive and pass on its traits to the next generation.

Since here the Pigeon breeders want to exemplify the looks (a genetic trait) of  parents to their offspring, observation 2 applies here

Hence, observation b is correct

After Sharon stares at a patch of saturated green color for a brief period of time, she looks at a white surface and sees a red
natima [27]

Answer:

opponent-process theory

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this perceptual phenomenon is best explained by the opponent-process theory. This theory explains that when one color pair is activated it triggers activity from another pair, meaning that the three opposing color pairs ( blue/yellow, red/green, and black/white) are all linked together. Which is why Sharon saw red when looking at a white surface.

What advantages are there for larger organisms to subdivide themselves into cells
WINSTONCH [101]

Cell division occurs in all living organisms. This is known as mitosis.

The advantages of a larger organisms to subdivide themselves into smaller cells is that as all organisms grow, some of their cells die or get damaged with time and need replacements. So,it divides into smaller cells because when a cell becomes large, it demands more of cell places of its DNA. If the cell grows too large, it will have trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. So to grow properly the cells need to be divided.
