Answer:

A. 1/16

Explanation:

If we break the dihybrid cross of AaBb X AaBb into individual monohybrid crosses:

Aa X Aa :

     A    a

A  AA Aa

a  Aa   aa

1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (AA)

Similarly, in cross Bb X Bb 1/4 of the progeny will be homozygous for dominant allele (BB)

Hence, in cross AaBb X AaBb:

1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 will be homozygous for both the dominant alleles.

Genetic drift simulation: understanding evolution
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance (sampling error).

Genetic drift occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.

Genetic drift may result in the loss of some alleles (including beneficial ones) and the fixation.

Genetic drift can have major effects when a population is sharply reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group splits off from the main population to found a colony (founder effect).
