This is an example of microevolution.
Microevolution represents a small change in the genetic structure of the population. These changes manifest through the change in the allele frequencies of genes like in the case of dung beetles.
The causes of microevolution are evolutionary mechanisms, natural selection, genetic drift, mutations and gene flow.
Interactions may be commensalism, mutualism, or parasitism.
Answer:
A: gene flow
Explanation:
I can not really explain it i just have this hunch let me know.
Answer:
The dominant curled wing allele is also a recessive lethal.
Explanation:
If we look at the F2 ratio we see that :
curled wings: straight wings= 160:80
=2:1
Hence, if curled wings is considered to be a dominant trait then Curled wings * straight wings
Dd x dd
Punnet square will be as follows :
d d
D | Dd | Dd
d | Dd | dd
Hence in order to get F2
Dd x dd
Punnet square will be the same as above if the F1 cross is Dd* Dd
D d
D DD Dd
d Dd dd
if DD is lethal then the ratio is
Dd:dd=2:1
that is curled wings: straight wings=2:1
Hence, The dominant curled wing allele is also a recessive lethal.
