Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
Explanation:
This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.
Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection, mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.
They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates
Overlapping niches lead to competition because they need the same resources such as food sources
Answer:
1/8
Explanation:
An individual must have all three dominant alleles to be red, in homozygosis or heterozygosis (R_E_D_).
<u>The parental cross was:</u>
RREEDD x rreedd
F1: RrEeDd
<u>The test cross</u> is between the RrEeDd indiviudals and homozygous recessive rreedd.
The genes assort independently, so we can use Mendel's law of segregation to predict separately for each gene the proportion of the offspring that will have the dominant alleles.
<h3><u>Rr x rr</u></h3>
1/2 Rr
1/2 rr
<h3><u>Ee x ee</u></h3>
1/2 Ee
1/2 ee
<h3><u>Dd x dd</u></h3>
1/2 Dd
1/2 dd
Genes are independent, so the probability of having a R_E_D_ offpsring is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of having a dominant allele for each gene:
1/2 (Rr) × 1/2 (Ee) × 1/2 (Dd)= 1/8
