The answer to your question is D) punctuated equilibrium.

The theory of Punctuated Equilibrium states that extremes in the environment cause sudden evolution; a long period of time precedes the sudden evolutionary changes.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Punctuated Equilibrium

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>According to the theory of punctuated equilibrium organisms are in stasis until a major change causes evolutionary pressures, which will result in a rapid burst of speciation until the stasis is reached again.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Based on this theory, when species occur in a fossil record, then the population will become stable, thus showing little evolutionary change for the geological history.</u></em>
  • <em><u>In this case, based on the theory of punctuated equilibrium all of the oak species in Georgia appeared suddenly from one common ancestor, over a short period of time, due to some extreme environmental changes, and that since that time, they have not changed much.</u></em>

Start with the P generation with the following genotypes (AA x aa). Based on classical Mendelian inheritance, how will a cross b
V125BC [204]

Answer: The correct answer is C) Although the F1 generation will all show the dominant trait, the offspring will all be heterozygous and increase chances of future variation.

According to Mendelian inheritance, true breeding parents ( which are homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive) for dominant and recessive allele will always result into offsprings with heterozygous dominant genotype.

As per the question, genotype of P ( parental ) generation is AA and aa. When they are crossed together, they result into Aa offsprings, which all exhibit dominant character/ phenotype. These offsprings will increase the chances of future variation.
