A punnet square shows you the different possible combinations and trait outcomes of the alleles.
How many genes control that trait
Answer:
Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance (sampling error).
Genetic drift occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.
Genetic drift may result in the loss of some alleles (including beneficial ones) and the fixation.
Genetic drift can have major effects when a population is sharply reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group splits off from the main population to found a colony (founder effect).
Answer:
<u>B) Polycystic kidney disease</u>
Explanation:
<u>A) Hypospadias</u>
It is a congenital disease characterized by an abnormal urethral opening on the dorsum of penis.
<u>B) Polycystic kidney disease</u>
It is a disease characterized by the multiple cysts in the kidney as implied by the name.
<u>C) Cystitis</u>
It is defined as the infection of urinary bladder.
<u>D) Dysuria</u>
It is defined as painful urination. It can be due to infection or other underlying disease.
<u>E) Epispadias</u>
It is a congenital disease characterized by an abnormal urethral opening on the ventral surface of penis. It is much less common than hypospadias.
<u>CORRECT ANSWER</u>
From the options, the most appropriate answer is <u>B) Polycystic kidney</u> as it is a disease characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidney. These cysts obstruct urinary flow.
<span>More individuals are produced each generation that can survive.
Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable.
Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive.
