Answer:
POINT MUTATION (SUBSTITUTION)
Explanation:
A point mutation is that mutation which involves only one nucleotide base. Point mutation can, however, occur in different ways such as SUBSTITUTION. Substitution point mutation is that which involves the replacement of a single nucleotide base by another in a gene sequence.
This is the case in this question regarding the mutation that causes sickle cell anaemia. According to this question, Sickle cell anemia is a disease that occurs when a mutation in the base pair of the hemoglobin beta gene causes a SINGLE replacement of GLUTAMIC ACID (Glu) by VALINE (Val). This shows that it is a type of SUBSTITUTION POINT MUTATION.
Answer/Explanation :
A heterozygous cat has a genotype Hh
A hairless cat has a genotype hh
When crossed, the results could be any of the following:
Hh (with hair)
hh (hairless)
There is a 50:50 chance or 1: 1 ratio that the offspring will have hair.
Answer:
The correct answer is option A. "directional selection".
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection at which traits with extreme characteristics are selected over traits with medium characteristics. In this case, a long-term climatic change resulted in all seeds that are the fountain of food for finch becoming hard. This will result in a directional selection on bill size in the finch population, where large-billed birds will be selected over small and medium-billed birds.
