The summary of this lab is that over time pollution has gotten worse. However, if you attempt to decrease the human impact the bad side effects decrease. For example, the loss of land by erosion in the Sahara Desert is less than present day if you take future development impact. Future development impact can decrease the bad side effects.

Tolerance.

Explanation:

Ecological succession may be defined as the change of an species, its structure and change in the ecological community with time. Two main types of succession are primary succession and secondary succession.

The ability to taste the chemical PTC is determined by a single gene in humans with the ability to taste given by the dominant a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

75%

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for the ability to taste the chemical PTC. The allele coding for the ability to taste (T) is dominant over the allele coding for the inability to taste (t). This means that an heterozygous individual will have the ability to taste PTC.

According to this question, if two heterozygous tasters (Tt) cross to have a large family i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent;

Tt = T and t

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced:

TT, Tt, Tt - Tasters (3/4 or 75%)

tt - Non-taster (1/4 or 25%)

Note that based on the question asked, there is a 75% probability that their first child will be a taster because there is equal segregation of alleles into gametes.
