Question:
A population of organisms is represented by three black marbles and three gray marbles. The gray organisms have a beneficial genetic mutation. Draw a model that shows natural selection over three generations of these organisms
Answer:
lThe population will suffer Directional selection. In the attached files you will find the drawing of the model.
Explanation:
Natural selection is the result of the phenotype-environment interaction which determines gene destiny in space and time, selecting beneficial alleles and increasing their frequency in the population. Among other types of natural selection, we can find the directional selection.
Directional selection increases in the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait, in this case, the color of the organisms. This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which interactions between living organisms and the environment modify in the same direction.
Directional selection leads to the fixation of the beneficial allele and the consequent loss of the other one. In this case, for example, the gray suffered a beneficial mutation, and after three generations the allele codifying for this mutation shows an increase in its frequency, approaching fixation.
The breaking down of
sugars is called glycolysis. The prefix glyco- means sugar, and the suffix
-lysis means breaking down. It's part of a three-step process in respiration,
the other two is The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation. In the
process of glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are produced.
The most common way these trees undergo pollination is through seeds and pollen.
The pollination is done with help of wind and birds where pollen transform from one plant to another.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The plants that undergoes pollination process through the seeds that are present in it are called as Angiosperms. These contains fruits. The seeds are usually present inside these fruits. Flowering plants are also called as Angiosperms.
These fruits and flowers are absent in gymnosperm. Even then they contain seeds inside the leaves surface. They will undergo pollination with these naked seeds. It is the fruits, flowers and the endosperm that are present in the seeds that help us to find difference between these two. The only common thing that exists between these two are seeds and pollen with which they pollinate.
In gymnosperms, pollen is transferred from male cone to female cone through wind or birds. Now, the pollen is germinated into pollen tubes and sperm for egg fertilization.
