An imaginary species of bears, fur color can be purple or gold. Gold is the dominant trait. How would the bear look if the gene
BARSIC [14]

Assume Gold trait =P ,

Purple= p,

Given:

Gold (P) is dominant over purple(p), so P is dominant over p.

If the bear is heterozygous Pp, then bear will look gold,

If the bear is homozygous DD( dominant), then the bear will look GOLD,

How does diploidy help to preserve genetic variation? see concept 23.4 (page 498)?
mario62 [17]
Monoploid organisms reproduce asexually since they need to transmit all of their genetic material to their offspring. Diploid organisms, have 2 copies of their genetic material that differ slightly in their genes. Since the progeny gets half of the DNA from each parent, we have that new combinations can emerge; for example, if the mother is AA for some allele and the father aa, their offspring will be Aa, a new genotype. This might have different implications (for example, the recessive gene for thalassemia also provides resistance to malaria). Finally, during meiosis, there is also an event called crossover that increases the genetic variation of the offspring.

In the guppie simulation, what happens to the brightest guppies when there are large numbers of predators?
jonny [76]
In the simulation, the brightness of the guppies is directly related to how fast they are consumed by predators. This phenomenon is explained simply and reflects natural selection. The brighter guppies are at a selective disadvantage due to the ease with which predators are able to spot them. The darker colored guppies are able to avoid predator better so they live fore a longer time.
