True or false? A mating between a tetraploid individual and a diploid individual produces biologically fit offspring.

Biology

5 0

A cross between a diploid individual and a tetraploid individual produces triploid offspring.  There are many species of plants that are triploid, but those come from crosses between two triploid individuals. In those cases, the chromosomes from one parent match up with the chromosomes from the other parent just fine. The same is not true with a cross of a tetraploid and a diploid.  In that case, one third of the chromosomes are unmatch, causing many offspring to die, to be sterile, or to be generally unfit.  Long story short, the answer you seek is False.

what role will nature selection most likely have in the frequency of the alleles responsible for the presence of tissue pockets
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Through natural selection, those organisms which have better adaptations to survive in an environment are able to live and pass on their alleles to their offsprings. Hence, any trait which is beneficial to an organism will be favoured by natural selection.

As tissue pockets is a trait which is required by the shrimps, hence with the passage of time shrimp population having tissue pockets will increase and will be favoured by nature.

The sugar glider in Australia and the flying squirrel in North America are both small mammals with large expanses of loose skin
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Each have adapted in very similar ways to similar habitats.

Explanation:

According to Darwin, given a similar set of conditions, two different organisms can adapt in the same direction. Here, the sugar glider inhabits Australia and the flying squirrel inhabits North America. There is a huge distance between their locations and also they are two different species with no direct evolutionary relation. However, because of the similar conditions present in their habitats, they developed same traits over the time. Both of them live in forested areas so they developed loose skin between their limbs which allowed them to glide freely between the trees.

Which of the following describes what might happen with a sudden increase in precipitation in the grassland biome?
melomori [17]
I'd say the answer is C Increase in plant and animal diversity.

Because grasslands are usually too dry for certain plants and animals to live there, but with more precipitation more organisms would live there.
