Here is my definition, Directional selection<span> is a mode of natural </span>selection<span> in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes, causing the allele frequency to shift over time in the </span>direction<span> of that phenotype.

Hope that helps</span>

A woman who is a carrier for colour blindness (X-linked recessive) has children with a man who has normal colour vision. A. What
viva [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Genotype of the  woman is XCbXN

The man XNY

Since the allele for the color blindness is carried on one of the X -chromosomes of the  carrier mother, then  the male children will be color blind or carrier deopending on the defective gene they inherited. Since they will receive the defective or normal  allele from the  mothers,but the female will carriers or normal because they will inherit either defective allele or normal allele from the mother,but normal  X allele from the father.

Assuming the colorbind gene was inherited by One of the boys, and the girls take the defective genes

1. XNY vs XCbXN.Then the one of the  boys will be colorblind  and the one of  girls will be carriers. XNXCb, XNXN, XCbY,XNY  50 %

2.If the two boys take the effective genes from the mothers. and none of the girls take the defective alelle

Then the two boys will be colorblind and the girls will be carrries XcbY,XcbY and XNXN XNXN.(normal girls).

The proportions that will be  the females  since the girls can only take the defective allele from one of the normal and defective allele from the mother. Assuming the girls  take the defective allele from the mothers and take normal from the father,they will all  be carriers,since the X of the father is normal.

They can not have a color blind girl.Since the father is normal It takes two colorblind X-chromosome to give a girl.

In horses, Chesnut hair color is recessive to black. The pacing gait is recessive to trotting and long hair is recessive to shor
Vitek1552 [10]

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotypic ratio showing traits as black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair when a chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length with a hybrid horse.

Explanation:

Dominant trait = black hair colour (BB,Bb), trotting (TT,Tt) , long hair (LL,Ll)

recessive trait = chesnut hair colour (bb), pacing gait (tt), short hair(ll)

cross between chestnut horse heterozygous for pacing and hair length will have alleles as BbLl

alleles for hybrid horse will also be heterozygous Bb, Ll

Punnett square to show the cross:

      BL         Bl       bL         bl

BL  BBLL  BBLl     BbLL    BbLl

Bl   BBLl    BBll     BbLl      Bbll

bL  BbLL  BbLl      bbLL     bbLl

bl    BbLl  Bbll       bblL        bbll

phenotype ratio

black and long hair : black and short hair: chestnut and long hair: chestnut and short hair

9:3: 3:1  is the phenotype ratio.

Finger [1]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

A. dinoflagellates.

B. Choanoflagellida.

C. Stramenopiles.

D. euglenoids.

E. foraminifera.

Answer:

C. Stramenopiles

Explanation:

Stramenopiles or heterokonts are a part of Chromista kingdom. They comprise of both unicellular and multicellular protists. They are characterized by presence of two dissimilar flagella in the motile life cycle stage. Their chloroplast is also surrounded by four membranes which indicates origin from symbiotic relationship. They include many classes like diatoms, golden algae and brown algae. Brown algae belongs to the class Phaeophyceae. They are marine multicellular algae and are commonly known as seaweeds.
