The process of natural selection is described in the cartoon.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism by which an organism survive and evolve.

It is the process in which organism have better adaptation to its environment and live to reproduce organisms with useful traits which are passed on to their offsprings.

In the given cartoon it is observed that green beatles fall prey to the crows as a result their survival chances are minimal. Over the generations they are eaten by crows and eventually their brown counterparts are in majority. This is because the brown colour beatles are safe from the prey, they pass on this trait to their offspring and remains safe and more in population.

The brown colouration in beatles is the Darwinian trait of survival of the fittest for beatles.

The variation in population, mutation or genetic drift causes natural selection.

The one with better adaptation survives and reproduce more viable offspring in the population.

Why do chromosomes condense at the start mitosis
Fynjy0 [20]
This condensation is needed to allow the chromosomes to move along the mitotic spindle without becoming tangled or broken during their distribution to daughter cells. DNA in this highly condensed state can no longer be transcribed, so all RNA synthesis stops during mitosis.

The Punnett square predicts the ratio of genotypes in the offspring based on the genotypes of the parents. Which Punnett square
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

A Punnett square is shown. The columns are labeled Upper D and d. The rows are labeled d and d. Clockwise from upper left the boxes contain: Upper D d, d d, d d, Upper D d.

Explanation:

Punnett square is used to depict the cross between two organisms. Progeny genotypes can be determined by punnett square. Columns and rows are labelled according to the alleles present in the genotype of respective parents, in this case the mom and the dad.

It has been given that the mom is heterozygous for dimples trait. Since, heterozygous genotype has two different alleles together, mom's genotype must be Dd. Dad is homozygous for no dimples so he can either be DD or dd depending on the dominance nature of the trait. Out of the given options, only the selected option has one heterozygous genotype (Dd) and one homozygous genotype (dd) together hence it is the correct option.
