An endangered species of wildflower has been reduced to a single small population in a mountain meadow. An early spring blizzard

buries and kills all but three of the remaining plants, one of which has a rare allele. The resulting evolutionary change in the population is an example of:

Answer:

Parallel Evolution

Explanation:

It is because only three members are normal while one of them has a rare recessive allele. Due to parallel evolution, the recessive allele will now  become common as the other previously distinguished dominant alleles and now all the traits will be in a uniform equilibrium according to Hardy-Weinberg Theorem.

Answer:

Bottleneck/ genetic drift

Explanation:

Bottleneck can be described as a situation whereby a  population of an organism is negatively affected through some certain events such as uncontrollable hunting of the specie,  destruction of habitat or environmental circumstances or disaster, and results to a reduction of the population.

Bottleneck is known to be a type of genetic drift, and its effect drastically reduces the population size of an organism. It also brings about a random change in the frequency of the alleles, which can be described as an evolutionary change.

In this case, what caused a reduction and evolutionary change of species of wildflower to mountain meadow is bottleneck.

Explain two effects that the study of genes could have on the future.
adoni [48]
1) determine the probability of individuals inheriting a disease
2) In the future, new genetic mutations will arise, and knowing to understand genetics would be important in helping analyze the problem/mutation in genetic recombination.
3) Genetics allows us to link diseases to one another (pedigrees) by analyzing if they are recessive, dominant, and/or autosomal, this allows us, as scientists to be able to identify and classify future diseases, and to determine their inheritance pattern, in the future.
