In cattle, codominance of the allele for a red coat (R) and the allele for a white coat (W) results in offspring with a roan coa

t (RW); that is, a coat with both red and white hairs.

Answer:

Genotype ratio: 1 (RR) : 2 (RW) : 1 (WW)

Phenotype ratio: 1 Red : 2 Roan : 1 White

Explanation:

Codominance is a kind of inheritance pattern in which both alleles are equally dominant in a gene. This means that both alleles when in a heterozygous state will be simultaneously expressed. According to this question, allele for a red coat (R) and the allele for a white coat (W) results in offspring with a roan coat (RW) in cattle.

Hence, in a cross between a a roan cow (RW) and a roan bull (RW), the following gametes will be produced: R and W.

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the offsprings with the following genotypes will be produced: RR, RW, RW, WW.

Therefore, based on the results of the cross;

Genotype ratio: 1 (RR) : 2 (RW) : 1 (WW)

Phenotype ratio: 1 Red : 2 Roan : 1 White

In a certain population of wolves, a mutation takes place and several wolves
Valentin [98]

Answer:

According to the theory of evolution by natural selection wolves with mutations will outgrow the wolves without mutation.

Explanation:

Nature always poses challenges to the living organisms in various forms like climate change, food scarcity, natural disasters, etc. If an organism has a characteristic to survive better than the other, then they will be selected by the nature. We can also use the term fitness for this. Darwin also referred about this as reproductive fitness which means only those organisms which are fit in their environment produce more progeny and increase in number. s we can see that the introduction of mutation has added the advantage of being faster and stronger, so when it comes to competition for food the wolves with mutation can easily catch the predator than wolves without mutation. Since mutation has resulted in better adaptation to their environment they will outgrow in number.
