Complete question:
In a separate study, 68 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Sonora, Mexico. The other three were in Chihuahua, Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the Chihuahua populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases.
How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
Answer:
The study supports the concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.
Explanation:
All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

The aortic valve is in the left ventricle. When the heart muscle contracts (or beats), it is pumping blood out of the heart. ... The right side collects oxygen-poor blood from the body then pumps it to the lungs where it can pick up oxygen and release carbon dioxide.
Answer:
(E) bu cv+
Explanation:
Linkage is the phenomena in which two genes present on same chromosome have a tendency to get inherited together.
It is given that the two autosomal genes are linked and in repulsion. This means that the dominant allele of one gene is linked to the recessive allele of another gene and vice versa.
Hence, the parental type gametes will have bu cv+ and bu+ cv combination. Since in linkage parental gametes always appear in higher numbers than recombinant gametes, out of the given options bu cv+ set of genes will be present in most gametes produced by this cockroach.
