Explanation:
an allele is an alternative form of a particular gene whereas a trait is the character that is determined by the allele.
Answer:
The genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.
Explanation:
One of the given options has a typo: the red eye-brown body offspring count should be 56 instead of 561.
<u>We have two genes with two alleles each:</u>
Red eyes (w+) is dominant over white eyes (w).
Brown body (y+) is dominant over yellow body (y).
The phenotypes of the F2 tesulting from a test cross (F1 x wy/wy) are:
- wy+/ey (white-eye, brown body): 670
- w+y/wy (red-eye, yellow body): 650
- wy/wy (white-eye, yellow body): 38
- w+y+/wy (red-eye, brown body 56
If the genes w and y are linked, two phenotypes in the F2 will be much more abundant than the other two. Recombination during meiosis is a rare event, so the most abundant phenotypes are the parentals (the ones present in the F1 parent).
Every individual in the offpsring has a <em>wy</em> chromosome, as this was the gamete inherited from the test cross individual.
In this case, the most abundant gametes are wy+ and w+y, so the genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.
Notice how when recombination occurs in the F1 parent, the recombinant gametes appear: wy and w+y+, which are the less abundant in the F2 progeny.
Natural selection leads to evolution because the strongest survive and pass on their genes
A hypothesis is an educated guess. This is part of the scientific method developed in science to explain natural phenomena in the environment. Usually scientists use the hypothesis in their controlled experiments.
Whether it is a fact or not scientists use the hypothesis as a basis or a starting point for further explanations. This is known as the scientific hypothesis. When an educated guess yields the same results over time, the answer is called a theory. Something that is widely accepted but still needs to be proven and investigated further.
