Hippos likely evolved from a group of anthracotheres about 15 million years ago, the first whales evolved over 50 million years ago, and the ancestor of both these groups was terrestrial. These first whales, such as Pakicetus, were typical land animals. They had long skulls and large carnivorous teeth. Hope I’ve helped ;)
        
                    
             
        
        
        
For the generalized scheme of Alternation of generations (see p. 120), plants have two forms based on a genetic complement that are the Sporophytes (2N diploid) and Gametophyte (N haploid). The processes connecting the two stages are gametangia producing haploid spores and zygote cell growth producing haploid gametophyte.

Answer and Explanation:
<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee
We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:
1) aa     x     AA
F1) 4/4=1 Aa
2)	Bb    x    bb
F1) ½ bb
      ½ Bb
3)	dd    x    Dd
F1) ½ dd
      ½ Dd
4)	Ee    x    Ee
F1) ¼ EE
      2/4 = ½ Ee
      ¼ ee
So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:  
1 Aa   x   ½ Bb   x    ½ Dd    x    ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe
