Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two

heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring? A. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail (75 percent Pp; 25 percent pp) B. 75 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 25 percent chance of a solid colored tail C. 25 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 75 percent chance of a solid colored tail D. 50 percent chance of a polka-dot tail and 50 percent chance of a solid colored tail

The correct answer is B. This question relates to using a punnet square to determine the genotypes of the offspring. Two heterozygous parents expressing a polka-dot tale must have genotype Pp each. 

Using a punnet square, this will produce 4 possible genotypes in equal probability:
PP - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
Pp - polka dot
pp - solid tale

Therefore there is a 75% change of getting polka dots in the offspring, and a 25% chance of solid tale.

A. is an incorrect answer because only 50% of offspring will be type Pp, another 25% will be expressing double dominant alleles for P as PP, which will still express polka dots.

zaharov [31]

3. any trait that confers even a small increase in the probability that its possessor will survive and reproduce will be strongly favored and will spread through the population.

Explanation:

  • Natural selection is a nonrandom process by which biological traits become more or less common in a population as a function of the differential reproduction of their bearers of differences in the rate of survival.
  • Natural selection can act on any heritable phenotypic trait and operate among any entities that reproduce, show inheritance of their characteristics from one generation to the next, and vary in fitness.
  • Natural selection is the machine that drives evolution. It also explains adaptation.
