Answer:

True

Explanation:

The color of the baby's eyes is influenced by the genetic inheritance (of the genes transmitted by the mother and father) and the amount of melanin (brown or black pigment whose type and amount is encoded in the genes) found in the iris.

Eye color is controlled by at least three genes, although researchers still only understand the role of two of them. Determining eye color is an extremely complex process and there are several conditioning factors and genetic combinations that can influence the final color.

The more melanin, the darker the color of eyes, skin and hair. If parents have both brown eyes, it is natural for their children to have the same color. However, there may be a genetic influence from an ancestor and the child expressing a different color.

If the presence of melanin in the iris is reduced, the baby will have blue eyes, even if father and mother have brown eyes. If the presence of melanin is higher, the eye color will be green or hazel. When there is a large production of melanin, the eyes are brown, predominant color over green or blue and therefore more common. The least common color is green.

Consider the following three populations of birds. Assume HW equilibrium. With these birds red coloring is recessive, while brow

bixtya [17]

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

Population III can undergo bottleneck effect because of smaller population size

The frequency of the brown allele will least likely be altered in the population that has highest brown individual , i.e population I

musickatia [10]

The answer is D, Because dinosaurs appears in the Triassic period while insects appeared in the Devonian period which is about 160 million years about, which rules out A and B. Humans have been on Earth for almost 3 million years, which is nothing compared to the history of life in earth, which about 4,000 million years of life history, so D
