A

the founder species of finches on the Galapagos islands able to form such a large variation of beak types because <u>the birds colonizing the islands were reproductively isolated. </u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The different founder species populations on the different islands could not mate randomly due to the distances between the islands. The reproductive isolation of the different populations caused the different populations to adapt to the conditions of their island (environment), by natural selection. Since every island has different environmental conditions, the different populations of finches evolved variable based on their island conditions.

In mice, the allele for black fur is dominant to the allele for brown fur. a male homozygous black mouse is crossed with a femal
Darina [25.2K]
B- black allele;
b- brown allele;

The parental cross is true-breeding because both the male and the female are homo zygotes, so: BBx bb

The F1 generation will be all black heterozygote: Bb
The F2 generation will be between mice of the F1 generation and they all have the same genotype:Bb xBb
In this cross it would result in:
 1/4 of the plants being black homozygote-BB 25%
2/4 of the plants being black heterozygote- Bb- 50%
1/4 of the plants being  brown homozygote- bb- 25%
answer: 25%+25%=50%  are homozygotes
