Biology
1 answer:
soldier1979 [14.2K]3 years ago
6 0
Directional selection occurs when individuals with traits on one side of the mean in their population survive better or reproduce more than those on the other. ... Directional selection does the “heavy lifting” of evolution by tending to move the trait mean toward the optimum for the environment.

The genes that masks the effects of other genes
kicyunya [14]

Explanation:

Some genes mask the expression of other genes just as a fully dominant allele masks the expression of its recessive counterpart. A gene that masks the phenotypic effect of another gene is called an epistatic gene; the gene it subordinates is the hypostatic gene.

Black eyes are dominant to orange eyes, and green skin is dominant to white skin. sam, a mendalien with black eyes and green ski
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>Sam, a mendalien with black eyes and green skin, has a parent with orange eyes and white skin. Sam has a dominant phenotype expressed but he has a parent with a recessive phenotype which means he has a heterozygote gene.

Carole is a mendalien with orange eyes and white skin. Since Carole express both recessive phenotypes she should be homozygote recessive.

The key to this problem is how Sam dominant gene will be inherited. Since there are two heterozygote genes, it will be 50% dominant gene inherited for each phenotype. Then the result should be: 
25% Dominant + Dominant =</span>black eyes and green skin<span>
25% Dominant + Recessive =</span>black eyes and white skin
25% Recessive + Dominant  =orange eyes and green skin
25% Recessive + Recessive =orange eyes and white skin
