Guppies living in a stream have a variety of spot patterns, some of which provide good camouflage against the stones in the stre

ambed and others of which make them stand out against the background, allowing potential mates to see them more easily. If a predator that hunted by sight were introduced to the stream, what would be the most likely long-term consequence for the guppy population?

The number of camouflaged guppies will increase while the number of uncamouflaged guppies will decrease. Since uncamouflaged guppies are easy to be noticed, predators will eat them. So their number must decrease. On the other hand, camouflaged guppies will remain hidden and their number will increase since they will mate each other.

The answer is: The number of camouflaged guppies will increase while the number of uncamouflaged guppies will decrease.

Explain why disease alleles for cystic fibrosis (CF) are recessive to the normal alleles (CF+), yet the disease alleles responsi
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Cystic fibrosis mutation is recessive to normal allele because only one functional or normal allele is enough to produce a functional protein. So, if mutation is present in one allele then also, a normal protein can be made from normal allele. The presence of normal protein prevents the expression of disease.

In addition, mutated allele only results in the loss of function of protein which can be compensated by the expression of normal allele. It does not add any toxic effect to the protein. Consequently, the disease is inherited in autosomal recessive fashion.

In contrast, Huntington mutation not only alters the structure of the functional protein but also adds toxicity to it. The altered protein is enable to interact with 100s of other proteins and inhibit or decrease their function. So, if only one allele is present then also, the mutated protein will be produced and it will result in the phenotype. Consequently, it is inherited as autosomal dominant fashion.

melisa1 [442]

Color blindness is a recessive x-linked trait in humans. In a family where the mother is color-blind, and the father is normal, the probability of their having a color-blind son is 100%.

Color blindness is a recessive x chromosome liked recessive disease which is more prone in males than in females. As the mother is color-blind she has both the alleles of colorblindness while the father is normal with both x chromosome and y chromosome normal.

So if the parents have a boy, he will always receive an x chromosome with colorblindness gene from the mother and a normal y chromosome from the father always. Thus, the probability of having a colorblind boy will be 100%.
