Over many generations, the fur on polar bears mutated white to help the bears hide better in the snow.

True.
Polar bears evolved from the brown bear. Their fur mutated from dark to adapt to the colder climate and to hide in the snow. Probably, in the past, there were some bears with mutated lighter fur. This trait allowed them to survive so that mutated gene was transmitted to the next generations. Lighter fur allowed them to retain body heat and better to hide during hunting. White bears had a higher fitness than brown bears in the cold climate, so generations later, all polar bears were white.

Answer:

A) Remaining populations will have reduced genetic diversity

Explanation:

A random mating population allows for genetic diversity as each individual have equal chance of been mated to and it allows for perpetuation of frequently occurring genes.

For a small population the frequency of allele is mostly fix with virtually all loci having the same genotype because mating is within small individual and genes whose frequency is few will be drifted out of the population.

Hence, after the eruption due to a small random population diversity will be reduced as diversity occur more in a large random mating population.

Answer:

2 in 4

Explanation:

If a female cat with orange fur (XOXO) is crossed with a male cat with black fur (XoY) then:

P: XOXO  x  XoY

F1: XOXo  XOY  XOXo  XOY

This means that half of the offspring will be females with tortoiseshell color  (XOXo) and other half  of the offspring will be males with orange fur (XOY).
