Y-: yellow S-: star yy: black ss: starless
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. heterozygous yellow and star

2. 37

3. 1/8

4. 168

5. 1/4

Explanation:

Given ,

In f1 generation a cross is made between a true breeding black star bellied sneetch mated with a true breeding yellow starless sneetch

yySS x YYss

It is taken as - Y (yellow) is dominant over y (black)

and S (star) is dominant over s (starless)

1. F1 Generation

Genotype of parents yySS X YYss

gametes - yS, yS, Ys, Ys

All 16 offspring will have genotype YySs

phenotype would be heterozygous yellow and star

2. F2 generation cross

YySs X YySs

YS        Ys         yS        ys

YS YYSS YYSs YySS YySy

Ys YYSs YYss YySs Yyss

yS YySS YySs yySS yySs

ys YySs Yyss yySs yyss

Genotype of offspring are –  

YYSS – 1

YYSs – 2

YySS – 2

YySs – 4

YYss- 1

Yyss- 2

yySS – 1

yySs- 1

yyss- 1

2. Out of 16, 2 are black star bellied sneetches . Which means only 1/8 are black star bellied sneetches

So out of 300, 37 are black star bellied sneetches

3. Only 2 out of 16 are true breeding. i.e 1/8

4. 9 out of 16 are yellow star bellied sneetches, so out of 300, 168 are yellow star bellied sneetches

5. 4 out of 16 are true breeding yellow. Thus, ¼ are true breeding

Identify which type of natural selection is described in each case below.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Results in the evolution of the species: Directional selection

Results in new species: Disruptive selection

Favors traits at the two extremes: Disruptive selection

No increase in diversity: Directional selection

One extreme trait is favored: Directional selection

Diversity decreases: Stabilizing selection

Diversity increases: Disruptive selection

Explanation:

Directional selection which is also known as positive selection is known to be a mode of natural selection. In this type of selection, an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. This makes the allele frequency to move in the direction of that phenotype and this takes place over time.

Disruptive selection (known to be diversifying selection) talks about the certain changes in the population genetics whereby extreme values of a particular trait are favored over intermediate values. This results in new species.

While Stabilizing selection is a natural selection whereby there is a stabilization of the population mean on the particular value of a non-extreme trait. Here the diversity is decreases.
