Answer:

disruptive/diversifying selection

Explanation:

Disruptive (also known as diversifying) selection is a type of natural selection where extreme phenotypic values are more favored rather than intermediate phenotypes. The disruptive selection favors the survivance and reproduction of organisms with extreme phenotypic traits, and in turn impairs the reproduction of organisms with intermediate traits, thereby changing the allele frequencies in the population in order to favor extreme values. An example of disruptive selection is the beak size of Galapagos finches, where extreme phenotypes of this trait have shown to be adaptive according to the type of food found in each island.

Answer:

The problem will be because:

The error in the construction of the bridge will be actually 40 cm.

Explanation:

When you, as an engineer, listen about a scale 1/20, it means that for each 1 cm in the model, it will be 20 cm in the real footbridge (20 times upper to the scale model), then how the error in the model is 2 cm, the real error is 40 cm, in this case, imagine that you didn't know that the bridge will have an error of 40 cm, which is approximately 1,31 ft, from a side of the bridge you begin with the correct measure, and the other side you use the measure with the error of the 40 cm, the result is that when you going to finish the bridge in the center, this won't match, making more expenses to correct that big error.

(1) All the genotypes are as follows: AABB, AaBB, AABb, AaBb, aaBB, aaBb, AAbb, Aabb, aabb.

(2) Assuming that Aa is dominant and Bb is recessive, there will be 9 phenotypes with both A and B allele dominant (i.e. AaBb, AABb); there will be 3 phenotypes with just the A allele dominant (i.e. Aabb, AAbb); there will be 3 phenotypes with just the B allele dominant (i.e. aaBb, aaBB); and there will be 1 phenotype with both alleles recessive (i.e. aabb). The phenotypic ratio in this case is 9:3:3:1.

(3) The probability of producing an offspring with the aabb genotype is 1/16 or 6%.
