Answer:

The correct answer is : the female chromosome

Explanation:

  • According to the question, it is mentioned that R is a dominant allele, responsible for the red eyes.
  • RR is a genotype for Red eyes.
  • A fruitfly has a diploid genotype which means each trait is represented by a pair of chromosomes.
  • In the above question, the dominant red eye colour trait is represented by the pair of chromosomes RR.
  • Therefore, XX must represent another trait.
  • By convention, a pair of X chromosomes (XX) represent a female and a combination of X and Y chromosomes (XY) represents a male.
  • Given XX genotype represent a female fruitfly chromosome.

natima [27]

Answer:

<em>This is an example of natural selection (adaptation).</em>

As tortoises having flat shell and long neck were better adapted to live in barren area, hence through natural selection those organisms were favored in such an ecosystem.

As tortoises that lived on the vegetative lands were more adapted to live in such an ecosystem, hence through natural ecosystem these organisms were favored and increased in numbers.
