Show how evolution could have occurred by the process of natural selection

Natural selection is basically a way for nature to choose what works and what doesn't work.  For example, if an animal was born with webs to swim, but most of its food source can be gotten on land, then the animal will die off until it evolves to go on land.  That is how evolution works with natural selection.  In the past long ago, millions of years back, animals in the water needed oxygen to breath, but the water started to lose it.  The land had air, and then the fish slowly grew legs, and their gills would evolve to lungs.  Eventually they would be able to roam the land.  Because there was so much oxygen with all of the shrubs, trees, and plants, that allowed the bodies of animals to grow big.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

B. 100 percent yellow seeds

Explanation:

When a gene has two alleles and one allele is dominant over the other, the dominant allele is expressed in the heterozygous state and the expression of the recessive allele is masked. According to the given information, the allele for yellow seed color is dominant over the allele for the green seed color.

Let's assume that the allele "Y" gives yellow color to the seeds while the allele "y" is responsible for green seed color. A cross between two pure breeding yellow seeded (YY) and green seeded (yy) plants would produce all the yellow seeded progeny with genotype "Yy".

YY (Yellow) x yy (green) = Yy (yellow)

The body determines whether certain genes should be expressed or not. Sometimes genes are only turned on once or twice in a life
zmey [24]

The gene which is produced once or twice in a lifetime is the milk producing hormone after childbirth. This is because it is produced only after the birth of the child. The growth of the mammary glands takes place during pregnancy. The breast continue to increase in size after giving birth to a child. After delivery only copious milk is produced which is generally done with the help of milk hormone. During pregnancy the secretion of the milk is inhibited by the estrogen and progesterone which circulates in the blood stream which in turn inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland thus making the mammary glands unresponsive. Where as insulin is a hormone which helps the body to utilise the sugar or glucose from different sources like carbohydrates that we get while we eat food and adrenaline is secreted when we are scared or when we feel that we are in danger. Therefore, milk producing hormone is the gene that are turned once or twice in a lifetime.
