Answer:

It states that organisms with beneficial traits have a better chance of surviving to reproductive age

Explanation:

Natural selection proposes that nature selects those organisms that are well adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions to survive and reach reproductive maturity with the favourable characteristics being passed to the offsprings. Those organisms that are poorly adapted die young, leaving no offspring and their characteristics are eventually eliminated from the population.

Answer:

''Genetic variation occurs from changes in homologous chromosomes  during meiosis''.

Explanation:

''Genetic variation occurs from changes in homologous chromosomes''. Genetic variation occurs from a number of techniques such as mutation, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during the process of meiosis. meiosis is a type of cell division which occurs in the sex cells of the organisms which is responsible for the variation in the body of organisms.

Hairlessness in American rat terriers is recessive to the presence of hair. Suppose that you have a rat terrier with hair. Expla
Reil [10]

Answer:

By performing a test cross i.e. a cross with a recessive trait

Explanation:

According to the question, hairlessness is a recessive trait, meaning that it will only be expressed in a homozygous condition i.e. when there are two recessive alleles in the genotype. Presence of hair is dominant, meaning that it will mask the phenotypic expression of hairlessness allele in a heterozygous state. Hence, a dominant phenotype can either be homozygous (same dominant allele) or heterozygous (combination of dominant and recessive alleles).

In order to determine which of these genotypes the dominant phenotype possess, we perform a test cross. A test cross is a cross performed to determine the genotype of the dominant organism by crossing it with a homozygous recessive genotype.

Ideally, the offsprings resulting from the cross will all be phenotypically dominant if the organism in question is homozygous dominant but if the organism is heterozygous dominant, the offsprings will occur in an equal ratio of dominant to recessive phenotypes.

So in this case, all of offsprings of this cross between the rat terriers will possess hair if the dominant rat terrier dog is homozygous, but if the dominant rat terrier dog is heterozygous, an hairless offspring will be produced.
