The herbaceous plant Achillea lanulosa is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. Phenotypic variation in the species has been extensively studied along an altitudinal gradient from sea level to over 3,000 meters. In California there is conspicuous variation in  height; alpine plants are only several centimeters tall  while  those in  the San Joaquin Valley may reach a height of 1.8 meters. Adaptation to different local environments also results in variation in physiological processes such as photosynthetic rate, resistance to cold, and the timing of dormancy.

Which of the following methods would be best to determine whether the phenotypic variation in Achillea lanulosa is due to genotypic variation?

Phylogenies can be used to test whether speciation has been sympatric or allopatric. Following figure shown a new species arises by allopatric speciation, its nearest relative will usually live in a different geographic area, such as in a nearby lake.

A graph shows the frequency distribution of the character (body size). B graph shows the relation between body size and fitness, within one generation, and the third the expected change in the average for the character over many generations (if body size is inherited). Which of the following correct figure for Average size with respect to time?

Balancing selection is a type of natural selection that balances two or more alleles in population allows maintaining genetic diversity. Which of the following allowed to this type of selection?

A- Heterozygote has the highest level of Fitness than normal homozygote

B- If rare phenotypes are favored over common phenotypes

C- Introduction of new allele in to a population by mutation and allowed to higher fitness in individuals

D- One homozygote has a highest level of fitness than heterozygote and another homozygote
