The mechanism that breaks the linkage between linked genes is

Answer:

Crossing over

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process during which two chromatids of two homologous chromosomes exchange part of their genetic segments. It occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis I.

Linked genes are mostly inherited together and do not exhibit independent assortment. However, when linked genes are present far apart from each other on the same chromosome, crossing over can occur between them to produce recombinant chromatids. Therefore, crossing over can break the linkage and produce recombinant progeny as it occurs during the independent assortment of unlinked genes.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice  ≅ 0.74
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26

2)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87

3)

  • q² = 0.74
  • p² = 0.02
  • 2pq = 0.24      

4)

  • q² = 0.13
  • p² = 0.4
  • 2pq = 0.46

5)

The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage

6)

Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.

7)

Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

8)

To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
