Which of the following is not associated with his theory? a) individuals in a population vary phenotypically b) organisms tend to under-reproduce themselves c) there are limited resources for which individuals compete d) some variations possessed by individuals of a population are inherited
A meadow is home to a population of plants of a particular species. Among these individuals are 125 plants that have red flowers and 375 plants that have white flowers. The allele of the flower color gene that produces red flowers (R) is completely dominant over the white flower color allele (r). Which statement about this population of plants is true? Group of answer choices a. 75% of the flower color alleles are the R allele. b. 13% of the flower color alleles are the R allele. c. 25% of the flower color alleles are the R allele. d. 87% of the flower color alleles are the R allele.
The Old Order Amish is a relatively small population of individuals found in the United States in Pennsylvania and Ohio. They are a very isolated population due to their strong religious beliefs and lifestyle that have continued for more than 200 years. They mostly select mates from within their own population, which has had significant effects on their gene pool.The effects on their gene pool is a result of a. non-random mating b. founder effect c. mutation d. bottleneck effect

Imagine a scenario where you are male and have a triangular head. For some reason, females in your area find triangular heads very attractive, so guys with triangular heads mate and reproduce more than other men. Eventually, all the non-triangular-headed people die out and the whole population of people in your area has triangular heads. This is an example of what? Question 5 options: natural selection evolution reproduction irritability development
