Answer:
The correct answer is - 2n = 41 chromosomes.
Explanation:
It is given that the cat has a diploid chromosome number of 38 while the rabbit has a diploid number of 44 chromosomes and if they form a hybrid then their expected chromosome number in somatic cells would be -
Cat (2n=38) produces haploid gametes with 19 chromosomes (n-19).
Rabbit (2n=44) produces haploid gametes with 22 chromosomes(n=22)
19+22= 41 chromosomes in the particular hybrid as half number of chromosomes come from each parent.
Answer:
can lead to natural selection
Explanation:
<h2>
</h2><h2>
Unequal reproductive success<em> _can lead to natural selection_____.</em></h2>
This is because if there is unequal reproductive success then one of the organisms is <em>better suited for reproducing, surviving, and passing down their genes to their offspring</em> rather than the organism who is unfit. This is where natural selection comes into play because natural selection is process where <em>i</em><u><em>ndividuals better suited for their environment produce more and have better survivality. </em></u>
So overtime, the organism which is weaker (in sense of fitness) (here fitness relates to reproduction and survival), will not pass as many genes and won't survive, whereas, individual better suited will, hence in a way "<u>Nature selected"</u><u> </u>the better fit organism.
