If a mutation introduces a new skin color in a lizard population, which factor might determine whether the frequency of the new allele will increase? A)how many other alleles are present
B)whether the mutation makes some lizards more fit for their environment than other lizards
C)how many phenotypes the population has
D)whether the mutation was caused by nature or by human intervention

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is B) whether the mutation makes some lizards more fit for their environment than other lizards.

If a mutation introduces a new skin color in a lizard population and that mutation makes some lizards more fit for their environment than other lizards then the frequency of the new allele will increase. For example, if a mutation causes some dark skin color which can help some lizards to survive. The more lizards with dark skin color will survive, and after some time, the frequency of the new allele will increase.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

1. on end of figure 17-1 shows an increase in average beak size for a population of birds.

Directional stabilization

2. Figure 17-2 shows highest fitness toward the center of the curve.

Stabilizing selection.

3. Figure 17-3 shows smaller and larger beaks in a population of finches.

disruptive selection

4. If a mutation frequency introduces a new skin color in a lizard population, what factors might determine whether the frequency of the new allele will increase

whether the mutation makes some lizards more fit for their environment that other lizards.

5. genetic drift, the alleles frequencies in a gene pool change because of

Chance.

Which is the purpose of transfer RNA?a. to code for protein synthesis
b. to carry the synthesized genetic information from the nucleus to the ribosomes
c. to synthesize proteins from RNA
d. to bring amino acids to the ribosomes to be assembled into proteins

Answers

a. to code for protein synthesis

RNA, also known as Ribonucleic acid, is the molecule that is used when coding and decoding genetic information. It similar to DNA and is assembled as a chain of nucleotides. An error in the coding of RNA can lead to the mutation of the genetic information or DNA. This means that the protein will not function as it should and lead to genetic defects in a species. Probably the best example of this is Down's Syndrome. This occurs in humans when there is an extra chromosome in the DNA.
