In a large population of randomly breeding foxes, a dominant allele results in a soft, brown pelt, while a recessive allele resu

lts in a rough, grey pelt. The dominant allele is found in 80% of the population while the recessive allele is found in 20%. There is no migration, drift, or selection in the population. When human beings enter this habitat, they selectively hunt foxes with brown pelts. After many generations of this activity, how will this population change?

Answer:

Frequency of both recessive and dominant allele will change

Explanation:

Let the fox fur be determine by B gene. B is a dominant allele whereas b is a recessive allele. BB and Bb produce brown pelt whereas grey pelt is only produced in recessive condition of bb.

Normally, 80% of the population had dominant allele B and 20% had recessive allele b. But the foxes with dominant trait i.e. brown pelt were hunted due to which dominant allele would be reduced over time. Number of foxes with grey pelt would increase and they would reproduce more grey pelt foxes (bb). Eventually the frequency of recessive allele b would increase in population and frequency of dominant allele B would decrease in population.

Did earth experience normal or reverse polarity 1.5 million years ago

Normal polarity

Explanation:

Earth's magnetic field used to be twice as strong 1.5 billion years ago as it is today and Earth's temperature other than what the geologists see from the 'normal' pattern. It has been noticed that some volcanic rocks were magnetized in opposite direction to the direction of the local Earth's field. It is clear that the Earth has experienced the normal polarity 1.5 years ago but at that time, the Earth's polarity was poorly understood.

Assume that the body has been sectioned along three planes: (1) a median plane, (2) a frontal plane, and (3) a transverse plane
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

lungs and kidneys

Explanation:

The median plane divides the body into two halves through a mid line.

The transverse plain is also known as the axial plane and it divided the body into the upper part and a lower part.

The frontal plane is also known as the coronal plane. It divided the body into the dorsal and ventral sections. The dorsal and ventral sections are the front and back sections ( belly and back).

Lungs and kidneys are the only parts which cannot be seen through all the three plains.
