Answer:

a) HT

Explanation:

This question shows an animal with two distinct unlinked genes i.e. on different chromosomes. One gene codes for head shape and the other for tail length. The gene for head shape possess alleles H and h, while gene for tail length possess alleles T and t.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. This occurs in such a way that each gamete will contain only one allele from a gene.

Based on this principle, an animal with genotype HhTt will undergo meiosis and randomly produce gametes with the following allelic combinations: HT, Ht, hT, and ht. As seen in the gametes, only one allele of a gene occured in a gamete at a time.

Therefore, HT is the genotype possible in a gamete of parent: HhTt.

Explain what happened genetically in the insect population.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

as insects became exposed to pyrethroids, toxicity of pyrethroids weakened over time. which means that Most insects had the allele for pyrethroid resistance, but it remained masked. The allele for said pyrethroid resistance, evidently increased throughout the population.

True or false. Is sympatric speciation, a physical barrier arises and separates two populations l, ending flow between them
timofeeve [1]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The above statement is <u>False </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Speciation is an evolutionary process in which new species arise. There are three types of speciation, namely; sympatric, parapatric and allopatric speciation.
  • <em><u>Sympatric speciation is a pattern in which speciation occurs in the absence of a physical barrier to gene flow; ex. polyploidy arising in flowers.</u></em>
  • In an Allopatric speciation on the other hand, a physical barrier arises and separates two populations, ending gene flow between them and allowing reproductive isolating mechanisms to evolve so that later if the two groups come back into contact they will no longer be able to reproduce together, therefore making them different species.
