Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection states that there is a struggle to survive as organisms compete for resources and try to av

oid predation. Over time, the organisms best adapted will survive and pass their traits on to offspring. Which of the following is the best explanation of the role mutations play in natural selection?
Question 9 options:

All mutations in somatic cells are passed on to offspring and over time as mutations are passed down through generations, populations will change.


Mutations that occur in gametes are always fatal to offspring which prevents new traits from entering into a gene pool.


Mutations provide variation within a population and environmental pressures select for or against these adaptations.


Mutations are always harmful and organisms with mutations will be selected against, leaving those that are best adapted to pass their traits on to offspring

Answer:

During the Devonian period which occurs 375 million years ago, gills are present in the fossil of tetrapods.

Explanation:

Gills present in tetrapods which able the marine animals to breathe inside water but with the passage of time the sac which is present around the gills convert into lungs and these tetrapods are able to live on the land. Examples of tetrapods are frog, lion, birds and salamander etc.

In his study of pea plants, Gregor Mendel used which method to produce offspring?
dalvyx [7]
The answer is cross-pollination, by using parents that had different traits.

Gregor Mendel researched pea plants and he <span>established the principles of heredity. To explain his experiments and discoveries, he invented terms dominant and recessive in reference to traits. In his experiments, he used cross pollination which includes the crossing of parents with different traits. For example, he crossed a plant with green peas and a plant with yellow peas (two different traits) and studied how  these traits are inherited to the next generation.</span>

Consider a population of wildflowers in which the frequency of the red allele cr is p = 0.7. what is the frequency of the white
anygoal [31]
I) Alleles is the alternative form of a gene or in other terms the variant form of a gene. If there are two alleles at a locus p and q are used to represent their frequencies. Frequencies of all alleles in a population will add up to 1. 
Therefore, in this case if red allele CW is p=0.7, then the frequency of the white allele in this population (q) is 0.3.

ii) From the punnet square the expected genotypes frequencies in the offspring generation will be 0.49 CRCR (red flowers, o.42 CRCW (pink flowers) and 0.09 CWCW (white flowers).
