The answer is genetic drift (bottleneck effect)

<span>There are 4 basic mechanisms of evolution - mutation, genetic drift, natural selection, and gene flow (migration). Genetic drift is a change in the frequency of alleles in a population as a result of random sampling of organisms. One of the examples of genetic drift is the bottleneck event. </span>The bottleneck event means drastic reduction of the population size because of environment changes. The consequence of this is the reduction of genetic variation. This is what happened to the population of worms after tree falling.

Which option most accurately states a central idea of "‘rewilding' draws on the past to modify plants"?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer;

Rewilding is the process of introducing genes of ancient plants into modern species.

Explanation;

-Rewilding is a progressive approach to conservation. It involves allowing the nature to take care of itself, enabling natural processes to shape land and sea, repair damaged ecosystems and restore degraded landscapes.

Through rewilding, wildlife's natural rhythms create wilder, more biodiverse habitats.

When crossing two individuals, the offspring display only one of the two traits found in parents. Which principle of Mendelian g
Kipish [7]

Complete question:

Question: When crossing two individuals, the offspring display only one of the two traits found in parents. Which principle of Mendelian genetics is supported by this observation?

a) segregation

b) independent assortment

c) dominance and recessiveness

d) allele frequency

Answer:

c) dominance and recessiveness

Explanation:

According to Mendel's principle of dominance and recessiveness, the alleles of one gene may be dominant or recessive in nature. When present together, only the dominant allele is able to express itself. Therefore, a hybrid individual for a gene would express only the dominant phenotype. In the given cross, the progeny express only one of the two traits found in the parents. This means that the progeny is heterozygous for the trait and is expressing the dominant trait. The recessive trait is not expressed due to the presence of the allele for the dominant trait.
