The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Frequency of a character increases when it is recessive, dominant, inheritable, or adaptable," we can analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: - The question asks about the conditions under which the frequency of a character (trait) increases in a population. 2. **Analyzing Recessive Genes**: - Recessive genes can only express their traits when in a homozygous condition (i.e., both alleles are recessive). - If environmental conditions are unfavorable, recessive traits may not be expressed or survive. - **Conclusion**: The frequency of a character does not increase with recessive genes. 3. **Analyzing Dominant Genes**: - Dominant genes express their traits even when only one allele is present. - However, having a dominant gene does not guarantee survival in varying environmental conditions. - **Conclusion**: The frequency of a character does not necessarily increase with dominant genes. 4. **Analyzing Inheritable Genes**: - Inheritable genes are those passed from parents to offspring. - While these genes can lead to character changes, if they are defective, they may not help the offspring survive in unfavorable conditions. - **Conclusion**: The frequency of a character does not increase solely due to inheritable genes. 5. **Analyzing Adaptable Genes**: - Adaptable genes allow organisms to survive and thrive in both favorable and unfavorable environmental conditions. - These genes enable organisms to adjust to changes in their environment, which can lead to an increase in the frequency of the character associated with these genes. - **Conclusion**: The frequency of a character increases when it is adaptable. 6. **Final Answer**: - The frequency of a character increases when it is **adaptable**.
