4 0
We know that height in humans is a polygenic trait because it has a lot of variation. The height gene is controlled by at minimum three genes with six different alleles. If all of these alleles are dominant for the tall gene you will be tall if you are dominant for the short gene you will be short if there is no clear dominance between the two genes you will fall somewhere  in the middle.

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Toucans disperse seeds of key forest species such as juçara palms by eating the fruit and defecating the seeds in new locations, sometimes more than a kilometer away. If there are no toucans, is the genetic diversity of palms likely to increase or decrease within forest fragments (and why)?

The genetic diversity of palm will totally decrease as a result of absence of Toucans dispersal of palms seeds which would not allow the seeds to be randomly grown anywhere. Dispersal has great impact on biodiversity of fruits because it enables the distribution of seeds to be grown everywhere
