Natural selection act directly upon <u>Alleles</u>

Explanation:

Genes, such as that of fur color, have many variants called alleles. Natural selection act on the alleles and chooses the best fit for an environment and eliminates the disadvantageous ones from the population over generations. Mutations are a rare occurrence that increases the number of allelic variants of a genes on which natural selection can act upon.

Kipish [7]

The question is incomplete and the complete question is

Suppose that ear length in rabbits is controlled by two additive genes, each of which has two alleles. A true-breeding female (aabb) with 6-cm ears is mated to a true-breeding male (AABB) with 16-cm ears.

Answer:

AABb or AaBB

Explanation:

We know that,

aabb genotype - 6 cm

AABB genotype- 16-cm

To calculate the length of earlobe contributed by each allele in a genotype is :

1. length of aabb/4 or 6/4= 1.5 cm (a and b contribute for 1.5 cm each)

2. Length of AABB/4 or 16/4= 4 cm (A and B contribute for 4 cm each)

Now to have the earlobe to be 13.5 cm long then the genotype must be

13.5 = 4+4+4+1.5 or A+A+B+b or A+a+B+B

Therefore, the genotype will be-either AABb or AaBB
