Answer: Population distributions may be described as <em>random, uniform</em><em> or </em><em>clustered.</em>
Explanation:
In a specified region, a population comprises any number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities- individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped). Population distributions may be described in three ways:
- Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. <em>E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind </em>
- Uniform: individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources.<em> E.g. human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby</em>
- Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions.<em> E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in prides in the wild</em>
Answer:
The correct answer would be 2 in 4.
According to the question Xo and XO show codominance and express themselves completely when present in heterozygous condition. Cats bearing XoXO show patchwork of black and orange fur and are called tortoiseshell cats.
Xo codes for orange color fur and XO codes for black color fur. In addition, Y chromosome does not contain any gene associated with fur color.
Now, genotype of mother cat is XOXO (orange fur). So, the gametes formed would be XO only.
The genotype of father cat is XoY(black fur). So, the gametes would be Xo and Y.
The cross would lead to the formation of two male cats each having XOY as their genotype and two female cats each with XOXo as their genotype.
Hence, both the male cats would show orange fur and both the female cats would show patchwork of orange and black fur.
Therefore, we can conclude that 2 out of 4 would exhibit tortoiseshell coloring.
