Answer:
you expect to see that 75% of your F2 generation rabbits have floppy ears and 25% of your rabbits have black fur.
Explanation:
<u> Available data:</u>
- Two true-breeding groups of rabbits.
- The first group has floppy ears and white fur.
- The second group has straight ears and black fur.
- 100% of the F1 generation has floppy ears and gray fur.
- Each of these traits is determined by a single gene and undergo independent assortment.
Having this information we can infer that floppy years, expressed by F allele, might be dominant over straight ears, expressed by f allele. And that the fur color is affected by incomplete dominance, being B the allele expressing black color, b the allele expressing white color and Bb the genotype for grey color.
Incomplete dominance is a condition where neither of the alleles completely dominates over the other one. Descendents possess an intermediate phenotype between the two parental phenotypes and not the dominant one.

The correct answer is:
A. Will have a intermediate trait 3. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined incompletely dominant trait
B. Will refuse glucose 2. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined dominant trait
C. Have a mix of traits depending on experience 4. Glucose aversion is a learned behavior
D. Will accept glucose 1. Glucose aversion is a genetically-determined recessive trait
If we put it simple and say that for example glucose aversion is genetically determinated, with the genotype AA and eating glucose with the genotype aa. The offspring will have Aa genotype (heterozygous). Depending on which phenotype is expressed in heterozygous we can conclude whether the trait is dominant or recessive or due to earned behavior.
Answer:
Examples include rabbits, bacteria, salmon, plants such as weeds and grasses, etc. Many insects are r-selected. For example, ants can be considered r-selected. Plants such as dandelions are another good example of an r-selected species.
In interspecies competition, two species use the same limited resource. Competition has a negative effect on both of the species (-/- interaction).
A species' niche is basically its ecological role, which is defined by the set of conditions, resources, and interactions it needs (or can make use of).
The competitive exclusion principle says that two species can't coexist if they occupy exactly the same niche (competing for identical resources).
Two species whose niches overlap may evolve by natural selection to have more distinct niches, resulting in resource partitioning.
