It all depends on the trait. If the dominant is more common that the recessive trait then it is more likely to a dominant trait in the gene pool. But if the recessive trait is more common in the gene pool then you will have a recessive trait. Does this make sense? Let me know if I'm right!
1) False. Scientists may predict something but realize a difference soon after before the test, so they could definitely change the hypothesis if they want. It’s only AFTER the experiment they cannot. Because a hypothesis is like a “guess” as to what’s going to happen, right?
2) False. A hypothesis can’t be “valid” because it’s literally a prediction.
3) True. Especially if you’re doing a chemistry lab, it’s really important things are done in order or else the product might result as something else you were expecting, or can be very dANGEROUS
4) True. The conclusion must be based on data because it’s the observation that was seen.
Hope this helps!! I could have answered in short form but I just wanted to make them understandable:)
Answer:
Option A. they less severely affect the phenotype, so that individuals can reproduce and transmit them
Explanation:
Polymorphism is the genetic variation found within a population, which favors the process of natural selection. It prefer successful traits in population.
While, mutation is the alteration of DNA sequence of an organism. Mutation can cause loss of traits in the population.
