4. Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If t

wo heterozygous individuals with polka-dot tails mate, what's the probability of the phenotype and genotype combinations of the offspring?

Answer:

The correct answer would be:

  • Genotype ratio: 1 (PP) : 2 (Pp) : 1 (pp)
  • Phenotypic ratio: 3 (polka-dot tails) : solid colored tail

The genotype of both parents is Pp (heterozygous).

Thus, both the parent would produce two types of gametes which are P and p.

The cross would result in the production of offspring with three types of genotype PP, Pp, and pp in 1:2:1.

Offspring with PP and Pp will have a polka-dotted tail as it is the dominant trait.

Thus, the phenotype ratio would be 3 (polka-dotted tail) : 1 (solid colored tail).

If an organism has high biological fitness in one environment, does that mean that it would also have high biological fitness in
Marina86 [1]

The answer is no, high biological fitness in one environment doesn’t have to be high in another environment.

Biological fitness is a term used in evolutionary biology and it is the quantitative representation of how a genotype (or phenotype) is successful (reproductively) in a certain environment. Fitness depends on environment so it changes if the environment changes. The fitness of a genotype is manifested through its phenotype, which is affected by the environment.
