Natural selection is the term created by Chales Darwin to compose a theory of biological evolution. According to this term, living beings that have characteristics favorable to their survival, in relation to the environment in which they live, are more likely to survive and pass these characteristics on to their descendants, while those that do not have these characteristics are more likely to die. .

An example of this can be seen in a population of lizards that live in environments with a lot of grass. According to natural selection, green colored lizards would have better advantages of surviving because they would be camouflaged in the grass and would not be seen by predators, unlike red lizards, which would be easily identified and captured by predators. therefore, the population of red lizards would decrease until it ceased to exist, while the population and green lizards would survive and generate other green lizards.

A man is brachydactylous (very short fingers; rare autosomal dominant), and his wife is not. Both can taste the chemical phenylt

netineya [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A) BbTt x bbTt

B) .5^4 or 1/16 or 0.0625

Explanation:

As it is given that Brachydactylus and PTC tasters both traits are autosomal dominant conditions which mean only one allele would be enough.

For Branchydactylus and For tasting : man and women will be heterogeneous.

Hence,

The Genotype of man = BbTt

The Genotype of wife = bbTt

b. Answer = 0.0625

For Branchydactylus:

Bb X bb

Possible genotypes:

B b

b Bb( Brachydactylus) bb(normal)

b Bb (Brachydactylus) bb (normal)

The probability of a single child being Branchydactylus = 2/4 = 0.5

So, Probability of all 4 child being Branchydactylus = .5 x .5 x .5 x .5 = 0.0625
