Answer:
When starfish were removed from their environment, the species richness of that area went down. This was because the starfish ate the mussels, and when the starfish were removed, the mussels became abundant and preyed on many of the other species.
This experiment showed that the starfish were a keystone species. A keystone species is a species that has a low biomass but a large impact on the community they are living in.
The given question is incomplete as the genotype of the parents is not given, so the answer is providing in the followings case:
1. dominant parent and recessive parent
2. heterozygous parents
Answer:
1. dominant parent and recessive parent:
dominant parents can be represented by LL and recessive parent is represented by ll, so the gametes would be L, L and l, l.
so,
L L
l Ll Ll
l Ll Ll
so there are all offspring in heterozygous condition as we known one or two dominant allele masks the recessive allele for the trait so 100% offspring can fold their tongue.
2. heterozygous parents
In this case, parents have Ll genotype and gametes would be L and l for each parent so,
L l
L LL Ll
l Ll ll
In this case, one is pure dominant and two heterozygous whereas only one is recessive so, the phenotype of offspring that cant fol the tongue would be:
3/4 = 75%
