Answer: The genotype ratio of their children is 2Ff : 2 ff

The phenotype ratio is 2 polydactyl individuals : 2 normal individuals.

Explanation: Let F represent the gene for extra finger while f represent the gene for normal finger. From the information provided, F is dominant while f is recessive. A heterozygous parent will have a genotype of Ff while a normal parent will have a genotype of ff. A cross between them will produce 2 Ff and 2 ff. Ff will manifest phenotypically as polydactyl because F is a dominant allele while ff will manifest phenotypically as normal fingers because f is recessive. For a recessive allele to express itself outwardly, it must occur in a homozygous state. Ff is heterozygous polydactyl.

Organisms with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and reproduce than organisms without the advantageous adaptat
expeople1 [14]

Natural selection refers to the phenomenon by which the species in a population possessing the tendency to get adapted in a condition enhance in numbers in comparison to those who exhibit fewer adaptation capacities over a number of generations.  

In other words, it can be stated as the non-random and differential development of distinct genotypes function to sustain favorable variant and to eradicate less favorable variants. Some of the conditions are required for the process of natural selection to take place.  

These are heredity, reproduction, variation in individual characters, and variation in the fitness of organisms among the members of the population. If the conditions are met, then the phenomenon of natural selection occurs by default.

Match the following. 1. the basic building block of all forms of life resolving power 2. the idea of Schleiden and Schwann that
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

1. Cell

2. cell theory

3. Organismal theory

4. resolving power

Explanation:

The cell is the smallest known unit of all living organisms. They are called the building blocks of life. An organism can be unicellular (made up of one cell) or multi-cellular (made up of many cells).

2. Cell theory was formulated and developed  by Schleiden, Schwann, and Virchow. They are considered as the basic principles of biology.

It states:

1. Living organisms are made up of cells.

2. Cells are the basic unit of life.

3. Cells are formed from pre-existing cells.

4. Energy flows inside the cell.

5. DNA is passed on from cell to cell.

6. All cells have the same basic chemical composition.

3. Organismal theory is the intended counter-argument of the cell theory. It was developed by Reichert, Strasberger, Sherrington, and Pavlov. It argues that the basic unit of life is the organism itself, suggesting that an organism came about from a cell that expanded.

4. Resolving power is the ability of an optical instrument like a microscope or a telescope to view objects that are close together as separate, abling the viewer to distinguish the two from each other.
