Answer:

C

Explanation:

Before the earthquake the gene pool of the parent population was bigger and carried different alleles for a lot of genes.

After the killing of 98% of the population, the surviving one has an incomplete representation of the original gene pool. We can think of this as a gene bottleneck ; the new allele frequencies will be different that the parental population. IE: broadness of stripes has a higher frequency after the earthquake.

Answer:

A) tortoiseshell female; black male

Explanation:

Females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome.

<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:

  • XᵒXᵒ: black female
  • XᵒY: black male
  • XᴼXᴼ: orange female
  • XᴼY: orange male
  • XᵒXᴼ: tortoiseshell female

<u>Cross of a black female and an orange male</u>

<h3>XᵒXᵒ  x  XᴼY</h3>

The female only produces Xᵒ gametes. The male produces Xᴼ and Y.

The possible offspring therefore is:  XᵒXᴼ (tortoiseshell females) and XᵒY (black males). The answer is A.

What are the distinguishing characteristics of invertebrates that differ from vertebrates?​
vesna_86 [32]
<h3>{Differences in Physical Characteristics}</h3>

Vertebrates have a skeletal structure with a spinal column or backbone.Invertebrates have no backbone, while vertebrates have a well-developed internal skeleton of cartilage and bone and a highly developed brain that is enclosed by a skull.

Explanation:

<h3>{Invertebrates}</h3>

•Invertebrates do not possess a backbone not an internal skeleton.

•Invertebrates have an exoskeleton.

•Body size varies but most are generally smaller than vertebrates. However, some invertebrates grow to gigantic proportions – such as the colossal squid (46 feet in length).

<h3>{Vertebrates}</h3>

•Vertebrates possess a backbone and an internal skeleton.

•Vertebrates do not possess an exoskeleton.

•Generally, vertebrates are comparatively larger than invertebrates
