Answer:
B. Directional selection
Explanation:
When natural selection starts to choose one phenotypes that is an extreme (as in, a really small neck or a really long neck), this is an example of <u>directional selection.</u> It makes sense for giraffes to have evolved this way, because the longer the neck, the more ably they can eat food from high branches. The more food they could get, the more chance of reproduction, the more "evolutionarily fit" they are.
Stabilizing selection is when national selection picks average phenotypes (like a medium-sized neck). Disruptive selection is when the extremes are both picked (like all the medium-sized neck giraffes die, and two different species start to emerge). Sexual selection is picking a mate based on traits. Clearly, those answers don't work here.
The question is the following :
<span>What is the best evidence to prove that Irene was heterozygous for hemophilia?
A) Alice carried the recessive allele.
B) Alexandra carried the recessive allele.
C) Frederick carried the recessive allele.
D) Waldemar carried the recessive allele.
The correct answer is A
In the pedigree, marked with blue are the carriers of the X recessive allele ( they have one X that has the mutation and the other that doesn't).
Alice was Irene's' mother, and since both Alice and iIrene have the allele, it is safe to conclude that Irene inherited the recessive allele from Alice.</span>
The value of 2pg in the given population is 0.432
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
C is normal
c is curly wings
So the homozygous dominant condition would be CC
Heterozygous condition would be Cc
Recessive condition would be cc
According to Hardy Weinberg principle,
p² + 2pq + q² = 1
and
p + q = 1
Here,
q² = cc = 100
q² = 100 / 1000
q = √0.1
q = 0.316
So,
p + q = 1
p + 0.316 = 1
p = 0.684
Thus, 2pq would be:

Therefore, the value of 2pg in the given population is 0.432
