The individuals with extreme variations of a trait.
it can be big or small, large or tiny. itdoesn't matter the size, shape, or color. its still the same as it was.
Two different variations of a trait can arise due to genetic inheritance from both parents, where each parent contributes one version of the gene. Additionally, mutations can occur in the gene that leads to different variations of the trait. These variations can provide diversity within a population and may be beneficial in evolving to changing environments.
No. You are describing what is called Lamarckism. Different traits are the results of the alleles found in genes. The environment does push one trait over another if the environment becomes extreme. You will see many traits in a population (such as in a human population) but one is not favored unless that trait allows those that have it to do better.
Multiple alleles can provide many different phenotypes for a trait because each allele can code for a different version of a trait, leading to a wide range of possible combinations and variations in the expression of that trait.
Yes, that is correct. Each trait is controlled by genes, and genes exist in different forms called alleles. For any given trait, an individual can have two alleles—one inherited from their mother and one from their father. These alleles can have different variations, resulting in different expression of the trait.
Variations of a gene that control a trait are known as alleles. These variations can differ in their DNA sequence, leading to different expressions of a trait. For instance, a gene controlling flower color may have alleles for red, white, or yellow flowers. The combination of alleles inherited from each parent determines the phenotype, or observable characteristics, of the organism.
Variations
Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that favors extreme traits over the average trait, leading to the divergence of characteristics within a population. This process can result in the formation of two distinct phenotypic groups with reduced variation between them.
Different versions of the same gene are called
Different forms of the same trait, known as variations, can include things like eye color (blue, brown, green), hair texture (straight, curly, wavy), and blood type (A, B, AB, O). These variations are a result of genetic differences among individuals.
