Answer: They are both connecting tissues but they connect different parts.

Explanation: The similarity between tendons and ligaments is that they are both connective tissues in the body and they are made of long collagen fibers that form a tough band.

The major difference between tendons and ligaments is that they connect different structures of the body. Tendons connect muscles to bones while ligaments connect bones to other bones.

Answer:

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect

The frequency of the brown allele will least likely be altered in the population I

Explanation:

Population I -

Total population - $670$

Brown birds - $603$

Red birds - $67$

Population II

Total population - $100$

Brown birds - $90$

Red birds - $10$

Population III

Total population - $30$

Brown birds - $27$

Red birds - $3$

Frequency of red birds in population I

$\frac{67}{670} = 0.1$

Frequency of red birds in population II

$\frac{10}{90} = 0.11$

Frequency of red birds in population III

$\frac{3}{30} = 0.1$

Red allele frequency will be highest in population II and it will be equal to $\sqrt{0.11} = 0.33$ as compared to $0.31$ in case of population I and III
