Two individuals in an asexual population have distinct, beneficial mutations. when their descendants compete with each other, one of those mutations is lost to extinctions. this phenomenon is . selective interference. b. clonal interference. c. the twofold cost of males. d. bateman's principle. e. fisher's runaway.

B. clonal interference

Explanation:

Clonal interference refers to the phenomenon in which multiple beneficial mutations in different lineages compete with each other. These lineages should exhibit no recombination for clonal interference to be operative. Without any recombination, several beneficial mutations compete as they cannot find space in the genome of the organisms. This leads to the extinction of one or more beneficial mutations from these lineages.

In the given example, two individuals reproduce by asexual reproduction and therefore, their genomes do not experience recombination. Clonal interference leads to the extinction of one of the beneficial mutations from their descendants.

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.
