The correct answer is: B) As land plants became more complex, animal life did as well.
This is because land could not be colonized by other organisms such as animals until land plants became established-there was nothing for animals to feed on.
So, plants were one of the earliest organisms to leave the water and colonize land.
Answer:
3/16
Explanation:
<u>According to Mendel's law of independent assortment of genes, when a dihybrid cross involves two genes that assort independently and one of the parents is dominant for the two genes and the other is recessive, the phenotypic ratio of the offspring at F2 would be 9:3:3:1</u>. The proportion of the offspring with the dominant parental traits would be 9/16, those with the recessive parental traits would be 1/16, while those with mixed traits would be 3/16 each.
Assuming the eye color is represented by E and the wing shape is represented by W. At F2
EeWw x EeWw
E_W_ - 9/16 (dominant for both eye color and wing shape)
E_ww - 3/16 (dominant for eye color and recessive for wing shape)
eeW_ - 3/16 (recessive for eye color and dominant for wing shape)
eeww - 1/16 (recessive for both eye color and wing shape)
<em>Hence, the proportion of the offspring with dominant phenotype for eye color and recessive phenotype for wing shape would be </em><em>3/16.</em>
