6 0

A marmoset is a member of the family of primates and are known to be one of the smallest monkey. They are measured to have a body length of 12 - 15 inches and has a mass of approximately 100 - 125 g. Comparing to monkeys, marmosets have distinct characteristics. Instead of having nails, they have claws, they tactile hair or a sensitive hair found on their wrists. They do not have wisdom teeth and the layout of their brain is primitive.

Answer:

Genetic drift

Explanation:

Genetic drift can also be referred to as allelic drift, it refers to the variation in allelic frequencies within a particular population over a period of time. It can also be referred to as the random fluctuations in the number of genotypes within a population. Genetic drift is not influenced by the environment and is usually more pronounced in a small population of organisms.

For example, a population of birds can consist of green feathers and blue feathers with the green feathers as the dominant allele, but as a result of random fluctuations, the offspring may all be with green feathers and hence could eliminate or reduce the allele responsible for blue feathers over time.

Identify the bone that articulates with the distal end of the femur. view available hint(s) identify the bone that articulates w

MatroZZZ [7]

The correct answer is: <em>tibia</em>

The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is one of the longest bones of the human body. The distal point of the femur refers to the area furthest away from its point of attachment, which in this case is the hip joint (please refer to the attached image). When referring to the image, you can see that the distal end of the femur articulates with the bone known as the tibia or shin bone. The tibia is the larger of the two bones located at the distal end of the femur. The tibia includes the knee and ankle joints. Therefore, the bone that articulates with the distal end of the femur is the tibia.

goblinko [34]

A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.

Explanation:

The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.

Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.

It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.

If two intermediate-colored chickens together produced 100 chicks, how many would you expect to be black?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: 25 of the chicks will be black

Explanation: Since the chickens are intermediate in colour, that is they are not black, they are heterozygous. Let B represent the allele for black colour and B represent the allele for blue colour, therefore the genotype of a chicken with an intermediate colour is Bb. A cross between two Bb chicken will produce 1 BB, 2 Bb and 1 bb chicks. 1 BB will manifest outwardly as black, 2Bb will manifest outwardly as intermediate colored while 1 bb will manifest outwardly as blue colored chicks.

Since one out of four chicks are black colored, if the two chicken produced 100 chicks, the number of chicks that will be black is 1/4 x 100 = 25. Therefore, 25 chicks out of 100 will be black.
