What a ratio?

A genotypic -ratio reflects the genetic configuration of an individual in the population. Several genotypes are possible in a phenotype and the ratio in which the genotypes segregate in a given phenotype is known as its genotypic ratio.


What does natural selection directly work on?

Natural selection directly works on the heritable traits of organisms that impact their ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment. Organisms with traits that enhance their survival and reproductive success are more likely to pass those traits on to the next generation.


What is the name given to the collection of traits exhibited by an organism?

Phenotype.


How do mutations relate to natural selection?

Mutation, a copying error in the replication of DNA, can give rise to variation in an organisms phenotype and if this new phenotype is beneficial to survival and reproductive success ( as little as 1% ) it will be selected naturally against the immediate environment, then if this so selected organism leave many descendents with the same beneficial traits then the populations gene pool will change in allele frequency and you have evolution. ( a 19th century sentence Darwin would be proud of! )


Does phenotype determine genotype?

It is a false statement that "phenotype determines genotype". In fact, it is the opposite. A genotype is the genetics or "instructions" that determine the phenotype. The phenotype is the actual appearance, ex: blue eyes, that is created by a given genotype.


Is the set of all common factors of two given natural numbers infinite?

No.


The physical appearance of the entire set of chromosomes of a given animal?

The physical appearance of the entire set of chromosomes of a given animal is a phenotype. A phenotype is a trait that you can observe like the color of a persons eyes.


What is the name given for the actual physical trait of a person?

The name given for the actual physical trait of a person is "phenotype." This term refers to the observable characteristics of an organism, which are determined by both genetic and environmental factors.


What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual exhibit the dominant phenotype?

Given those conditions, the offspring have a 50% chance of demonstrating the dominant phenotype and a 50% chance of demonstrating the recessive phenotype.


How phenotype influence adaptation?

Phenotype influences adaptation by determining an organism's physical characteristics, such as its shape, size, and color. These characteristics can impact an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment, leading to the selection of traits that are better suited for the specific conditions. Over time, natural selection acts on these traits, driving adaptation by favoring phenotypes that provide a reproductive advantage.


Which term is given to the measure of the proportion of offspring that a particular phenotype will contribute to the next generation?

Progeny


What is the relationship between evolution and natural selection?

Evolution is the process of change in species over time, while natural selection is a mechanism by which evolution occurs. Natural selection acts on genetic variation within a population, favoring traits that increase an individual's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment. Over time, these advantageous traits become more common in the population, leading to evolutionary change.
