1. 50% will have the RR phenotype and 50% will have the Rr phenotype.
2. 25% will be RR, 25% will be rr and 50% will be Rr
3. 100% will be rr
Answer:
a) Homozygous
Explanation:
An organism in which the two copies of the gene are identical is called homozygous in that gene. An organism with two different alleles of the genes is called heterozygous.
Answer:
Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have brown eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes. No new settlers arrive,and nobody leaves the island.After a few generations,the percentage of blue-eyed individuals increases from the original zero to 25 percent.This is probably due to which of the following factors?
genetic drift
Explanation:
Genetic drift entails when there are changes in the gene frequency which occur in a gene that is existing. From the analogy above, it is a known fact that only gneetic drift could allow such to happen as mutation will only occur with a sudden change of gene which is not the case described above
