Answer:

243

Explanation:

Let us assume the genotype of individual with five genes is AaBbCcDdEe

If we look at the simple mono-hybrid cross between two gene pairs let us say Aa and Aa, the following genotypes will be produced

Aa * Aa

AA, Aa, Aa, aa

So total three different type of genotypes will be produced i.e AA, Aa, and aa

Like wise cross between Bb and Bb will produce BB, Bb, bb

Product of Cc and Cc will produce CC, Cc and cc

Product of Dd and Dd will produce DD, Dd, dd

Product of Ee and Ee will produce EE, Ee, ee

So in total there will be 5 such groups which will assort independently/

Thus, the probability will be

3 * 3* 3*3 *3\\= 3^5\\= 243

Which conditions are common to all three of the following: genetic drift, the founder principle, and the bottleneck effect? a. i
Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Common to genetic drift, the founder principle, and the bottleneck effect:

b. in small populations and result in a decrease in genetic diversity and/or an increase in the occurrence of specific genetic traits

c. when a small group of organisms only reproduce with each other to create a larger population of organisms

d. when the majority of a population is killed off and there are only a few remaining organisms left to rebuild the population

Further Explanation:

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise, called mutations. These are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes.

These mutations form variants which become stable within a population, leading to the formation of separate, genetically distinct populations called species.

  • mutations accumulate in a population over time, altering the frequency of alleles or different forms of a gene- this is called genetic drift.
  • In the founder effect, the separation of a group from a larger group can decrease genetic diversity, this can create a genetically distinct population
  • In the bottleneck effect, a population die off or barrier to reproduction increases the genetic drift in the population
