To solve this problem we first need to find the amount of gametes a fruit fly produces in a meiotic division. For this we will use the formula , where n represents the number of gene pairs. In our case then,
= 2.2.2.2 = 16
So a fly produces 16 different combinations of gametes. If this fly crosses another one, we have a universe of possibilities of combinations given by the multiplication of the male and female gametes. In the case, then, it would be 16 x 16.
16 x 16 = 256
Darwin’s Finches: Darwin observed that beak shape varies among finch species. He postulated that the beak of an ancestral species had adapted over time to equip the finches to acquire different food sources. This illustration shows the beak shapes for four species of ground finch: 1. Geospiza magnirostris (the large ground finch), 2. G. fortis (the medium ground finch), 3. G. parvula (the small tree finch), and 4. Certhidea olivacea (the green-warbler finch) the Grants measured beak sizes in the much-reduced population, they found that the average bill size was larger. This was clear evidence for natural selection of bill size caused by the availability of seeds. The Grants had studied the inheritance of bill sizes and knew that the surviving large-billed birds would tend to produce offspring with larger bills, so the selection would lead to evolution of bill size. Subsequent studies by the Grants have demonstrated selection on and evolution of bill size in this species in response to other changing conditions on the island. The evolution has occurred both to larger bills, as in this case, and to smaller bills when large seeds became rare.
