The artificial selection is a procedure of selectively breeding certain species of plants and animals in order to develop certain desirable traits. Artificial selection helps the humans to get the plants or livestock that are the most useful for them. Among the given options, the choosing of the sheep giving the most wool, mating of the goats producing more milk, and mating of the ducks to produce large eggs are all examples of the deliberate artificial selection.
But the using of the fishing nets that are catching only the large crabs is an example of indirect artificial selection as it leads to the increased population of small crabs.
Hence, the correct answer is 'option d'.
Answer:
a) The genes present on separate chromosomes exhibit indepedent assortment.
b) The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp
The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp
Explanation:
a) In a dihybrid cross, if the genes are present on the same chromosome, they will not exhibit independent assortment. The genes present on the same chromosome are called linked genes. Linked genes are inherited together. The absence of independent assortment of a linked gene gives more of parental types in F2 progeny. Therefore, if genes are not present on a separate chromosome, Mendel’s ratios deviate.
b) Alleles for tallness and purple flower are dominant. In the progeny, all the plants are tall. This means that the dominant tall plant is homozygous. With respect to flower color, the trait exhibits segregation of dominant and recessive alleles and both purple and white flower progeny are obtained. This makes both the plants heterozygous for the flower color gene.
The genotype of tall and purple flower parent= TTPp
The genotype of short and purple flower parent: ttPp
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. <span>This is an example of cellular organization. Cells organize themselves according to their functions. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
