There are four general conditions that must be met for natural selection to occur, these are: variation among organisms of the same species, large production of offspring, variation in individual fitness among members of the same species and variation in heredity. So from the question given above, the conditions that are required for natural selection are option A, B AND D.
Natural selection act directly upon <u>Alleles</u>
Explanation:
Genes, such as that of fur color, have many variants called alleles. Natural selection act on the alleles and chooses the best fit for an environment and eliminates the disadvantageous ones from the population over generations. Mutations are a rare occurrence that increases the number of allelic variants of a genes on which natural selection can act upon.
Answer:
d the squirrel population
Explanation:
Answer:
Complete dominance
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel (1822 - 1884) was regarded as the "FATHER OF GENETICS" due to his immense contribution to discovering the principles that govern inheritance in organisms. In one of his several experiments, he performed a cross between true-breeding tall plants (TT) and true-breeding short plants (tt).
From this cross, Mendel found out that the F1 generation were all tall. He self-crossed the F1 generation and obtained F2 offsprings in a ratio 3 tall: 1 short. This shows that the tall phenotype allele (T) is dominant over the short phenotype/allele (t), which was being masked in the F1 generation i.e. Tt. This inheritance pattern is called COMPLETE DOMINANCE.
