Answer:
Ll, Ll, LL
Explanation:
So, there is one thing we must remember to answer this:
1# dominant genes(long fur) are expressed over reccesive genes(short fur)
Knownign that dominant is over reccesive, it is simple. If the genotype was Ll or lL then the dominant long fur would be expressed over reccesive short fur. <u>Long fur - Ll, lL</u>
Next, we know that LL will be long fur since its both long and long, and there is no possibility for short fur. <u>Long fur - LL</u>
Finally. we have ll, and since there isnt a dominant long fur, and only reccesvie short, then this cannot be long fur. Short fur. - ll
Answer:
The correct answer would be
- Concave lens for nearsightedness
- Convex lens for farsightedness
Nearsightedness or myopia is a condition in which a person can see the nearby objects clearly but is unable to see the objects present at a farther distance clearly.
It is usually caused due to elongation of the eyeball or when the lens becomes too curved.
It can be corrected by using a concave or diverging lens of appropriate power.
Farsightedness or hyperopia is a condition in which a person can see the distant objects clearly but is unable to see the nearby objects distance clearly.
It is usually caused due to shortening of the eyeball or when the lens loses its curvature.
It can be corrected by using a convex or converging lens of appropriate power.
I would say that many of our heritable traits are <span>influenced by several genes and by the environnement.
It's, for the biggest part, because of the mutations. You have your heritables traits thanks to your mom and your dad. But a mutation caused by either several rays like ultraviolets or chemicals can changed your traits.
Hope this helps !

9. A
10. A
11. C
12. D
Explanation:
8. Natural selection works on variation that exists in the genes of organisms. Antelopes who have genetic variation that makes their legs more muscular are at an advantage because they can outrun predators. This increases the chance that they will reach reproductive age, and be able to pass this advantageous trait onto their offspring. Over time, this selection pressure makes the variant more common in a population.
9. Beneficial traits are those that give a selective advantage. This could be one that helps it outrun predators (like above), avoid illness and death, gives it a reproductive advantage (i.e. more attractive to mates), or makes it better able to digest certain foods, for example. The formation of cancer cells would be harmful for an organism, reducing its fitness and perhaps leading to death. The inability to reproduce would mean genetic info is not passed on to the next generation, and stopping the production of an essential protein would likely lead to death. However, resistance to a virus would help an organism avoid illness and death, improving fitness.
10. Genotypes are what organisms inherit from their parents, i.e. the genetic information that is passed on. However, the way in which different alleles interact and are expressed is the phenotype. If we take the above example, natural selection is acting on the phenotype of muscular legs. If an antelope had the muscular leg genotype but for some reason it was not being expressed (maybe another gene is interfering with it), then the antelope would not have a selective advantage, and natural selection could not be act on the trait.
11. A trait that better suits an organism to its environment will be selected for by natural selection. This is because that organism is more likely to survive due to the trait, giving it a selective advantage. Therefore, if a mutation arose making the giraffe more adapted to the environment, it would be positively selected for, and through evolution would become more common.
12. This is an example of selective breeding, which has been happening for generations. Farmers spot desirable traits, and cross horses with these traits in an attempt to enhance the trait or to ensure it is passed on to the next generation. This is not natural selection, because farmers are making it happen artificially. It is not cloning or recombinant DNA, which are terms scientists use for actually manipulating the DNA in the lab.
