Answer:

. d. peas have an unusually long generation time

Explanation:

Gregor mendel is a scientist, he was bored 20th July,1822. He carried out an experiment using pea plant and he is reffer to as the father of genetist. Mendel used seven traits of the pea plant in his experiments this include flower color which is either purple or white, flower position which is either axil or terminal stem length which could be long or short, seed shape (round or wrinkled), seed color (yellow or green), pod shape (inflated or constricted) and pod color (yellow or green). He uses pea plant because of the following reason,

pea plant has many observable characteristics that could be used such as flower colors,seed shape.

Pea plant is an annual crop that matures early, so earliness to maturation makes Mendel select pea

Mating in pea plant can be controlled. Pea plant are self fertilizing crop but he decided to control the mating pattern by cross fertilize them and avoiding contamination from other pea plant.

The experiment with pea pant would produce enough seeds for subsequent generation.

This experiment made Mendel propound 2 laws, law of segregation of gene and law of Independent assortment of gene.

What types of cells have DNA? Where in the cell is it located
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

Most red deer who successfully reproduce have about four fawns during their lifetimes. However, a small percentage of red deer p
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Natural selection will favor red deer that produce a dozen or more offspring that survive for at least a year.

Explanation:

Natural selection results in adaptation, which means the increase of the aptitude phenotype.  Aptitude is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation.

Natural selection is the result between the individual phenotype and the environment that determines the destiny of genes. It is the differential capability of individuals to leave offspring.

Aptitude (or fitness) is the phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate. It is a way of measuring the individual ability to leave fertile offspring. Aptitude must be significant to the natural selection act in its favor.  

Natural selection, eventually, will favor red deer that produce a dozen or more offspring that survive for at least a year. These animals have more chances of leaving fertile descendants that will be able to grow, develop, survive, and reproduce. They have a higher aptitude than those individuals that only have four fawns during their lifetimes. These animals have fewer probabilities of leaving survival descendants able to reproduce.
