In medicine, metagenomics is significant in maintaining human health by understanding the metagenomics of the gut microbiome. In agriculture, understanding the microbiome in the soil is significant in improving crop production. In the generation of biofuels, metagenomics is important in identifying microbial communities that can turn organic matter into fuels.

. In pea plants, the allele for tall plants (T) is dominant to the allele for short plants (t). You observe that the offspring o
sasho [114]

Answer:

a) Genotype of each parent plant= Tt

b) Genotypes of parent plants= Tt and tt

Explanation:

a) In the first cross, the tall and short progeny was obtained in almost a 3:1 ratio (78: 27). This means that both the parent plants were heterozygous for the gene of plant height. The genotype of each of the parents was Tt. A cross between Tt and Tt gives following progeny ratio=

Tt x Tt = 3 tall (1/2 TT and 1/4 Tt) : 1 short (1/4 tt)

b) In the second cross, tall and short progeny was obtained in almost a 1: 1 ratio (121: 118). This means that one parent plant was homozygous recessive (tt) and the other was heterozygous dominant (Tt).

Tt x tt = 1 tall: 1 short.

A finch population eats seeds that vary in size. There is variation in preference of seed type, and that variation positively co
ladessa [460]

Answer:

If larger seed became available, directional selection will act in favor of bigger beak finch.

Explanation:

In the case that more large seeds were to become available, then directional selection will start to influence in the beak size, favoring those individuals with bigger beaks. Those individuals with shorter beaks will start to disappear as these animals won't be able to eat the larger seed.

Directional selection <em>increases the proportion of individuals with an extreme phenotypic trait,</em> in this case, large beaks.

This selection presents more frequently in those cases in which <em>interactions between living organisms and the environment</em> modify in the same direction.
