A species displaying which of the survivorship curves is likely to produce the most offspring?

1 answer:

3 0

This question is incomplete as there are no graphs included to study. I think this question is referring to K-strategy and R-strategy survivorship curves. In R-strategy, many offspring are produced, but there is typically very low offspring survival as there is little or no post-birth investment from the parents. In K-strategy, few offspring are produced, but there is substantial post-birth investment by the parents into caring for the young. Therefore, the R-strategy species will tend to have the highest number of offspring.

Answer: A geneticist studies a series of families in which both parents are normal and at least one child has albinism. The geneticist reasons that both parents in these families must be heterozygotes and that albinism should appear in of the children of these families. To his surprise, the geneticist finds that the frequency of albinism among me children of these families is considerably greater "Than .

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Both parent's genotype is Bb because they are hairless and alive.

If it has a homozygous dominant genotype (BB), the dog will die in utero.

If it has a heterozygous genotype (Bb), the dog will be hairless but won't die.

If it has a homozygous dominant genotype (bb), the dog will have hair.

The ratio of BB:Bb:bb is 1:2:1 meaning that there is a 50% probability of having a live hairless puppy.

Hope this helps! <3
