Answer:

b) 0.30

Explanation:

An individual who is heterozygous for two linked genes (with alleles A, a and B, b)

i.e Aa & Bb × ab/ab

This cross produce the following offspring :

14 AB/ab  

36 Ab/ab  

34 aB/ab  

16 ab/ab

Now, the purpose of these calculation is to determine how close together on a gene (gene mapping) these recombinants are.

First, we need to determine the linked gene for the parental chromosomal configurations which are (Aa & Bb × ab/ab) and the recombinant configurations in the offspring which are ( AB/ab & ab/ab). This allows for the calculation of the recombinant frequency; and it is given by:  

= \frac{number of recombinant frequency}{total number of offspring}

=\frac{14+16}{14+36+34+16}

= \frac{30}{100}

= 0.3

MrRa [10]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>A) genetic bottleneck. 
B) sexual selection. 
C) habitat differentiation. 
D) founder effect.
</span>
The correct answer is founder effect. The definition of founder effect is the loss of genetic variation when a new population is established in a small number of individuals from a larger population. The larger population in the context is the ecosystem in Hawaii before it rose from the sea surface. After it rose above the sea surface, most organisms will not be able to survive in land but there will be a small population that can evolve from there.

(I wrote to you more than three types)

There are seven known types of human coronavirus. Four common types (KHUI, OC43, NL63,229E) cause mild to moderate respiratory infection, such as the common cold. There are two types, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-COV) and Middle East respiratory virus syndrome (MERS-COV), that can cause acute respiratory infections. Type VII (nCOV-2019) is the newly discovered novel coronavirus in China.
