<span>The bottleneck effect is the cause of the sudden shift in the genetic information of the population. Due to the landslide, suddenly high number of the members of the main population died, and this caused genetic drift for reducing the variation in the existing generation, which is now widely different from the original one.</span><span />

Brut [27]

Answer: In this type of cross between MmDdPp and mmddpp, the phenotypic ratios in the eight possible phenotypes are as follow; a. solid, normal, smooth = 1:8

b. solid, normal, peach = 1:8

c. solid, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

d. solid, dwarf, peach = 1:8

e. mottled, normal, smooth = 1:8

f. mottled, normal, peach = 1:8

g. mottled, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

h. mottled, dwarf, peach = 1:8

Explanation: The number of gametes that can be formed from a particular genotype is given as 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci. In the genotype MmDdPp, n = 3. Therefore, 8 gametes can be formed.

In genotype mmddpp, n = 0. Therefore, only one type of gamete can be formed.

Crossing the two genotype (MmDdPp and mmddpp) as shown in the attached image, 8 possible offsprings can be achieved. Phenotypes of these offspring had been stated earlier. The phenotypic frequency of each of these offspring is one out of eight (⅛).

What is product of meiosis 1
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

haploid daughter cells

Explanation:

Meiosis involves two divisions of the parent cell resulting in four daughter cells. Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiosis I, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half thus called reduction division. The product of meiosis I is two diploid daughter cells.
