One hypothesis that explains the result is : A) Two genes are involved with 12:3:1 epistasis, such that A_B_ and A_bb are black, aaB_ is brown,and aabb is green.
Explanation:
- This is a case of Dominant Epistasis.
- When two genes are involved and presence of dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of either allele of the second gene then the epistasis is termed as dominant epistasis.
- In the given case black :brown: green ratio is approximately equal to 12:3:1.
- Here presence of a dominant A allele that is responsible for the black colour masks the effect of either allele of B. Therefore A_B_ and A_bb produces black beetles
- Again , absence of dominant A allows B to express itself and Brown beetles are produced thus aaB_ is brown.
- When both the genes are present as recessive alleles, neither brown nor black colour is expressed and the beetles are green.Thus, aabb are green.

Answer is the last one, mutation
Answer:
B) Global winds will move along a curved path and therefore cause ocean currents to curve.
Explanation:
Earth rotation can be defined as the amount of time taken by planet earth to complete its spinning movement on its axis.
This ultimately implies that, the rotation of earth refers to the time taken by earth to rotate once on its axis. One spinning movement of the earth on its axis takes approximately 24 hours to complete with respect to the sun.
Basically, the effect of the Earth spinning on its axis have on winds and currents is that Global winds will move along a curved path and therefore cause ocean currents to curve. As a result of the Earth's rotation on its axis, a phenomenon known as Coriolis effect arises. Coriolis effect occurs when circulating winds are deflected to the left in the southern hemisphere and to the right in the northern hemisphere.
Hence, rather than have this air circulating in a straight pattern, it is deflected to the left of the southern hemisphere and to the right of the northern hemisphere, typically in a curved path or pattern.
