The seeds become dormant to preserve the energy that they would not get during the winter
Answer:
PpDD and PpDd
Explanation:
Pigmented eyes (P) are dominant to non-pigmented (p), and dimpled chins (D) are dominant to Non-dimpled chins (d).
The <u>possible genotypes of a pigment-eyed, dimple-chinned person</u> would be PPDD, PpDd, PPDd, PpDD while a blue-eyed person without a dimpled chin would have the genotype ppdd.
The genotype of a blue-eyed, dimpled chin child would be either of ppDd or ppDD, but in this case, the mother is ppdd and as such, the child cannot have two copies of D allele. Hence, the genotype of the child can only be ppDd.
In order for the child to have blue eyes (pp), it means that the father has to have the non-pigmented allele (p). This also means that the father is heterozygous for eye pigmentation (Pp).
<em>Hence, the genotype of the father is now limited to </em><em>PpDD</em> <em>and </em><em>PpDd</em>.

Explanation:
One of the most important bioethical issues facing us today is the issue of _____EXTINCTION____or a loss of biodiversity
2. Defined as variation of life on Earth __BIODIVERSITY___is the number and relative abundance of different __SPECIES__.
3. It is estimated that there are as many as __8.7 million__ species in the world though as few as __2.3 million_have actually been identified.
4. As the human population grows and demands more resources, ___BIODIVERSITY_ is threatened.
5. Human activities contribute to habitat loss, especially in the world's coral reefs and tropical rain forests. As a result, some organisms face __EXTINCTION_or the death of their species
6. The growth of the __HUMAN___ population has destroyed up to 25% of _BIODIVERSITY__ and threatened another 30% statistics are similar for __ECOSYSTEM___ .
7. Humans also face __NEGATIVE___ consequences in that we are dependent on the ecosystem we are destroying for everything from food to raw material.
The answer to your question is <span>B. Natural selection acted on the variation that was present in the population.
