Pollen is essentially a male plant germ cell .

Like all germ cells it is produced in the process of meiosis. In this process, the diploid cells (cells that have two sets of chromosomes) divide into two haploid cells (cells that have one set of chromosomes).

In our example, the diploid mother cell has a SS Tt genotype. This essentially means that the cell has two alleles of the same gene on a different chromosome in the chromosome pair.

When the cell divides, it can give only one allele to the haploid cell.

For the S gene, this cell has two identical dominant alleles( SS genotype), therefore, it can only give the dominant allele to the haploid cell.

As for the T gene, this cell has two different alleles, one dominant and one recessive (Tt genotype) and therefore can give either the dominant (T) or the recessive (t) allele to the haploid germ cell (the pollen).

So, the possible genetic combinations are

ST if the dominant T allele is passed

St if the recessive t allele is passed

Ape species began to dwindle during the Miocene, leaving only a few remaining: a situation that exists up to the present. It is
fiasKO [112]

The change in weather pattern caused forest to become sparse and hot weather caused the reduction of apes as they had less food and difficulty in surviving the climate.

Explanation:

In Miocene epoch volcanic mountain chains were created in Central Africa which abruptly changed the local weather.

The sea-level got drop due to global cooling of that time.

This resulted in continental drift making land connection of Africa with Eurasia.

The primates started migrating through this route.

The African forest become dry causing selective pressures in primates.

The cooler climate in Eurasia caused extinction and migration of primates to Africa in late Miocene epoch.

The hot and humid climate and less woodland caused a reduction in number of apes which were replaced by modern world monkeys.
