Imagine you are standing in a field and you see a group of butterflies. You notice that the butterflies are not identical to eac

h other even though they are all from the same species and the same population. One day you notice an individual that looks noticeably different from the other butterflies in the population. It has much larger wings and can fly faster than the other butterflies. This difference allows the butterfly to escape predation more efficiently than other butterflies in the population. The difference came about because this butterfly spent more time developing in warm moist areas of the habitat than other butterflies. Do you expect the following generations to be composed of butterflies with larger wings? a) Yes, this trait is advantageous so more butterflies will choose to develop in warm moist areas of the habitat. b) Yes, this represents a genetic mutation that will be passed onto offspring. c) No, this represents non-heritable variation caused by the environment. d) No, this represents heritable variation but this trait does not increase ability to mate so will not be passed to the next generation.

The correct answer is:  b) Yes, this represents a genetic mutation that will be passed onto offspring.  

A random mutation in a gene occurred and led to differences in the ability to escape predation. This feature of the butterfly is now advantageous, because allows them better survival. Since it is a heritable variation it will be passed to the offspring.

Answer:

Complete question:

We are trying to determine the possible modes of inheritance for some particular human disorder. We have a very small pedigree for this disorder. Assuming the pedigree is accurate, indicate which of the six modes of inheritance are consistent with this pedigree: Select one or more Y Linked Autosomal Recessive Autosomal Dominant X-Linked Dominant X-Linked Recessive We are trying to determine the possible modes of inheritance for some particular human disorder. We have a very small pedigree for this disorder, Assuming the pedigree is accurate, indicate which of the six modes of inheritance ere consistent with this pedigree Select one or more X-Linked Recessive Y Linked Autosomal Recessive X-Linked Dominant Autosomal Dominant.

Answer:

After the analysis of this pedigree, it is clears that the inheritance pattern is X linked because the offsprings are affected with parents genotgype

Explanation:

The inheritance is X linked dominant because of the presence of one dominant gene for the affected genotype in male.

The male individuals are affected. This is therefore not a recessive inheritance in later case, it is only when the two genes are present at the same time the affected genotype will be seen.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

a. It is a dihybrid cross

b. 0%

c. 0%

d. 0%

e. 100%

f. 0%

g. 0%

Note: Answers are given assuming that hhRD = hhDD

Explanation:

a. The cross, HHdd x hhDD is a dihybrid cross involving two traits: fruit colour and fruit shape

2. Gametes produced in the cross are given below:

for HHdd= Hd and Hd

For hhDD = hD and hD

Offspring produced in the cross:

All HhDd, which represents white and the flattened disc-shaped fruit white since They are both dominant characters.

b. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to have the HHDD genotype = 0%

c. Percentage of the offspring from this cros expected to have the hhDD genotype = 0%

d. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to have the HhDd genotype = 0%

e. Percentage of the offspring from this cross are expected to produce white and disc-shaped fruits (HHDD or HhDD or HhDd) = 100%

f. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to produce white and spherical fruits (HHdd or Hhdd) = 0%

g. Percentage of the offspring from this cross expected to produce yellow and disc-shape (hhDD or hhDd) = 0%
