Answer:

The F2 generation can be explained because the alleles for flower colour and pollen shape are linked.

Explanation:

<em>When two alleles are linked on the same chromosome, there is a high tendency for the alleles to be inherited together. Consequently, the frequency of the alleles recombining in subsequent generations is low.</em>

This is what Bateson and Punnet observed. There exist a linkage between P and L alleles and also p and l alleles, thereby increasing their frequencies  of occurring together and decreasing the frequency of their recombination.

Thus, the F2 generation observed by Bateson and Punnet is due to linkage of alleles.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:Both birth rate and death rate will decrease.

Explanation:

Demographic transition: The process whereby a country moves from high birth and death rates to relatively low birth and death rates.

The decline in death rate is due to better economic and social conditions of the country which leads to control of pre-existing diseases, better medical facilities,more food production,increased jobs,better sanitation and hence better quality of life.

Decline in birth rate is due to improved quality of life and also could be due to availability of family planning services in highly developed countries.Moreover access to education especially in female population has created awareness regarding birth control.
