Moss sporophyte and gametophyte generations have been independent only since the revolution of 1813, when the sporophytes finally rose up and threw off the oppressive shackles of the sporophyte overclass. Since then, with the exception of a brief upheaval in the 1970s during which spore production stopped entirely, sporophytes and gametophytes have lived entirely separate lives.
Answer:
75% one eye, 25% two eyes (or 3:1 one eye: two eye)
Explanation:
The cross between the two trolls are shown in the attached punnett square
Ee x Ee gives 3 genotypes: EE, Ee, and ee
at a ratio of :1 EE: 2 Ee: 1 ee
Ee and EE are both one eye genotypes, so the <em>phenotype </em>is 3:1 one eye to two eye.
Answer:
a mutation in the germinal line changed the phenotype to bright flowers which were capable of attracting more pollinators compared to yellow flowers. Subsequently, this mutation was selected by natural selection, thereby increasing its frequency in the population
Explanation:
A mutation is any change in the nucleotide DNA sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations can be divided into 1-germinal mutations (i.e., mutations that occurred in the gamete cells) which can be passed on to offspring, and 2-somatic mutations (i.e., mutations that occurred in the somatic cells), which cannot be inherited. Moreover, mutations can be neutral, deleterious or beneficial depending on the environment in which the organism lives. When a germinal mutation is beneficial, the organism carrying the mutation will have more chances to survive and reproduce (i.e., a higher adaptive fitness), thereby the organism will have more chance to pass this mutation to the next generation and the mutation will increase its frequency in the population.
