How is lactase an example of fitness in humans?

Answers

Answer 1

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Evolutionary advantages. Lactase persistence is a text-book example of natural selection in humans: it has been reported to present stronger selection pressure than any other known human gene. However, the specific reasons as to why lactase persistence confers a selective advantage "remain open to speculation".

WHAT THEY DO IN HUMAN BODY?

Lactase breaks down the lactose in food so your body can absorb it. People who are lactose intolerant have unpleasant symptoms after eating or drinking milk or milk products. These symptoms include bloating, diarrhea, and gas. Lactose intolerance is not the same thing as having a food allergy to milk.

In pastoralist populations, individuals with the lactase-persistence mutations were more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass on their alleles than people without the mutations, especially in times of famine.

Rough-skinned newts produce a strong toxin called TTX as a defense mechanism against predators. Garter snakes can
tolerate a very limited amount of the toxin. However, several populations of garter snakes have recently shown an
increased tolerance for TTX. The different populations of snakes have independently acquired a gene variation that
allows them to better block the effects of the toxin.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Life Cycle of a Star

Stars are formed in clouds of gas and dust, known as nebulae. Nuclear reactions at the centre (or core) of stars provides enough energy to make them shine brightly for many years. The exact lifetime of a star depends very much on its size. Very large, massive stars burn their fuel much faster than smaller stars and may only last a few hundred thousand years. Smaller stars, however, will last for several billion years, because they burn their fuel much more slowly.

Anna studies the color of her bedroom wall using different lights. In sunlight, she sees that the wall is white. Anna darkens the room and shines a beam of light that includes all the wavelengths of visible light onto the wall. In this light, what's the wall color that Anna sees?

Answers

Answer:

White

Explanation:

The light is measured by its wavelength, generally in nanometers (nm), and visible light has a wavelength spectrum of 400 to 700 nm. Sunlight can be divided into three components: 1-visible light, 2-ultraviolet (UV) light, and 3-infrared radiation. Since white light is visible light (this color contains all the colors of the rainbow) and sunlight includes the visible light of all wavelengths, the object will look white under this light spectrum.

Answer:

A. two shark populations utilize the same fish population as their main food source

I'm guessing this is from Marine Biology. I know this is an example of competition because two different groups of sharks are eating food from the same source. If one group gets to it first every time, they could leave the other group with no food. So it is a competition.

Answers

Answer:

Results in the evolution of the species: Directional selection

Results in new species: Disruptive selection

Favors traits at the two extremes: Disruptive selection

No increase in diversity: Directional selection

One extreme trait is favored: Directional selection

Diversity decreases: Stabilizing selection

Diversity increases: Disruptive selection

Explanation:

Directional selection which is also known as positive selection is known to be a mode of natural selection. In this type of selection, an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. This makes the allele frequency to move in the direction of that phenotype and this takes place over time.

Disruptive selection (known to be diversifying selection) talks about the certain changes in the population genetics whereby extreme values of a particular trait are favored over intermediate values. This results in new species.

While Stabilizing selection is a natural selection whereby there is a stabilization of the population mean on the particular value of a non-extreme trait. Here the diversity is decreases.

Answer:  A) directional selection

                B) disruptive selection

               B) disruptive selection
