Answer:
The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).
Explanation:
There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.
The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.
For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.
- <em>Other options, such as </em><u><em>an increase in food availability</em></u><em>, a</em><u><em> decrease in tuna fishing
</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>a decrease in tuna predators</em></u><em>, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.</em>
Answer: There re two different types of phenotypes in the offsprings that is Round yellow and Round green.
Explanation-
As per the Mendelian inheritance, Round shape and yellow color of pea are dominant over wrinkled shape and green color of pea.
According to the question, genotypes of parents are- RrYy ( heterzygous for round and yellow) and RRYy ( homozygous for round and heterozygous for yellow).
The first parent can produce four different gametes that is RY, Ry, rY, ry whereas the second parent will produce only two types of gametes that is RY and Ry.
When they are crossed, they will produce two different phenotypes in the offsprings.

Answer:
According to Lamarck, organisms altered their behavior in response to environmental change. ... Their changed behavior, in turn, modified their organs, and their offspring inherited those "improved" structures.
