Answer:

Answered below.

Explanation:

The fossil records are beneficial in giving us. wide range of knowledge about fossils but sometimes these records are flawed, in that they are incomplete or misleading.

Many of the fossil records available are incomplete because some animals tend to decay within a short period of time due to their soft tissue. Also some are destroyed due to the movement of tectonic plates over time.

Another flaw scientists encounter is that there are no fossils which illustrate or represent the orderly transition from one organism to another. Fossils generally do not support the Darwinian theory of evolution as no evidence is found of ordered, sequential transition from simple to complex life forms as postulated.

These flaws are significant because they influence our knowledge and understanding of life forms and evolution.

Q:- In dogs, the Mexican hairless phenotype never breeds true. When Mexican hairless are interbred the offspring are 2/3 hairles
drek231 [11]

Explanation:

The problem says that the hairless phenotype never breeds true. That means that it's not the result of a homozygous genotype (H₁H₁ or H₂H₂), so it is caused by the heterozygous genotype (H₁H₂).

The <u>expected </u>offspring from the cross between two Mexican hairless would be:

<h3>P                 H₁H₂  x  H₁H₂</h3><h3>F1    1/4 H₁H₁,  2/4 H₁H₂ and 1/4 H₂H₂.</h3>

And the <u>expected</u> phenotypic ratio 3:1. However, the observed offspring shows a 2:1 ratio. What's happening?

If the observed phenotypic ratio in the offspring of a monohybrid cross (a single gene with two alleles) is 2:1, we can suspect that one of the genotypes is lethal in homozygosis and therefore does not appear in the progeny (the puppies are born dead).

If we proposed that the H₂ allele is lethal in homozygosis, then:

  • The H₁H₁ genotype would cause normal puppies --> 1
  • The H₁H₂ genotype would cause hairless puppies --> 2
  • The H₂H₂ is lethal and causes the death of puppies --> 0

The phenotypic ratios change to 2:1, as observed in the experiment.
