Read each example and identify it with one of the mechanisms that influence gene pools. A zebra migrates to join a different her

d of zebras. Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees. The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger. A grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

Answer: The correct answer for the given mechanisms influencing gene pool are the mechanisms of evolutionary change, which are described as follows-

1) Gene Flow

- It is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-A zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) Natural Selection

- A mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) Mutation

- Permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) Genetic Drift - It is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-A grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

<h2>Alice's daughter Alix =X X*   </h2><h2>George V= XY </h2><h2>Progeny  are;</h2><h2>XX, XY, X*X, X*Y </h2><h2>50 % males would be  infected </h2><h2>50% male normal</h2><h2>50% female normal, </h2><h2>50 female carrier. </h2>

Explanation:

Hemophilia is an inherited disease and it follows  an X-linked recessive pattern. The genes for hemophilia disease are located on the X chromosome. In males one mutated copy of the chromosome X  is sufficient to cause the condition, because male contain only one gene. Female  contain XX chromosome, so both the chromosome must have mutated for causing this disease.

According to  study of  Queen Victoria (1891-1901) of England, Alice's daughter Alix was X linked carrier and George V was normal male,

so if they got married, their children would be  

parents genotype  X X*   XY

progeny  

XX, XY, X*X, X*Y

50% males would be  infected

50% male normal

50% female normal,

50 female carrier.
