25%,1:3 This is due to the heterozygous condition to produce on homozygous long and one homozygous short then two heterozygous short.ie 1:2:1,but short is dominant and heterozygous short ate taken to be short ,thus modifying the ratio to 1:3,1:3 is 25%:75%.therefore homozygous long is 25%.

Check Your Understanding<br> Question: What is an adaptation?
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

an adaptation can be defined as an inherited trait which confers an evolutionary advantage to the organism in a certain environment

Explanation:

An adaptation, also known as an evolutionary adaptation, can be defined as any physiological and/or morphological inherited trait related to the improved evolutionary fitness of one organism in a particular environment. An adaptation improves the chances of survival and reproduction in a certain environment, thereby organisms carrying the adaptation have more chances to produce descendants and pass their genes to the next generation. Some classical examples of evolutionary adaptations include the long necks of giraffes that help them to eat leaves at the top of trees, light bones of flying birds, etc.

What would happen to the possible variation in gametes if the number if chromosome pairs increased from two to three?
Orlov [11]
<span>If each of the pairs of chromosomes was heterozygous (what gives you the highest potential number of different gametes), then the number of possible gametes increases from 4 to 8 for a diploid organism. To figure out how many are possible, raise the number of homologous chromsomes (2 for a diploid organism) to the power of the number of chromosomes. So if you have two different chromosomes (A and B), raise 2 to the 2nd power (or multiply 2 x 2) and you have 4. If you have chromosomes A, B, and C, then you have 2^3, or 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

To show possible combinations, AaBb gives you AB, Ab, aB, or ab. AaBbCc gives possible gametes of ABC, ABc, AbC, Abc, aBC, aBc, abC, and abc. </span>

How can homologous structures be used as evidence for shared common ancestry?
Crank
Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. These structures may or may not have the same function in the descendants. They all have the same basic pattern of bones. They inherited this pattern from a common ancestor. However, their forelimbs now have different functions
