Answer:

The correct answer is- Resistance

Explanation:

The ability of any organism in a population to tolerate a chemical like insecticide, pesticide or antibiotic which is designed to kill it or slow its reproduction is called resistance.

For example, the antibiotic resistance is seen in some bacteria like MRSA(Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus). They gain this resistance because they have some variant traits in their genome which provide them resistance against these chemicals.  

These individual are selected through natural selection when the environmental condition changes and become adverse. So the correct answer is resistance.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is- founder effect  

Explanation:

Founder effect occurs when a small number of individual isolates from the majority of the population by natural calamity or any other region. These isolated individuals show less genetic diversity than the larger population because they are less in numbers.  

Therefore founder effect makes a small group of individuals isolate from a bigger population and make them occupy a different habitat. So a founder population can go on a newly developed island and start reproducing there.

A founder population over time converts into a new species because of reproductive isolation from the main population.  So the evolution of life on the island of Hawaii should have been most strongly influenced by founder effect.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct genotypic notation for a wild type with phenotypic characteristics: red eyes, long bristle and round eyes will be any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl or CNRdl if c, n, r and d are capable of independent assortment and CNRDl if they cannot.

Explanation:

The eye color and bristle size is coordinated by either recessive cn and dominant CN or Cn genes. The wild type in questions has red color eyes, which is a dominant trait coordinated by CN or Cn if c and n can undergo assortment independently or just CN if they cannot. The second characteristics of the wild type is long bristle. We were told that reduced bristle is coordinated by recessive rd Gene. Then the long bristle in our specimen wild type will have dominant genotypic notification of RD or Rd, depending if r and d can undergo assortment independently. The last trait is a round eyes, which is a recessive trait controlled by recessive allele l. Therefore, the combined characteristics of red eye color, long bristle and round eyes shape of the wild type will be CNRDl or any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl CNRdl depending on the segregation pattern of c, n, r and d.
