Answer:
Mutation plays an important role in evolution. The ultimate source of all genetic variation is mutation. Mutation is important as the first step of evolution because it creates a new DNA sequence for a particular gene, creating a new allele.
A hypothesis is when you make an educated guess before you complete the experiment. It is basically an inference on what might happen next. So a conclusion made based on facts.
Answer:
Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original populations.
Explanation:
- There are two types of speciation: allopatric and peripatric.
- Allopatric speciation occurs when the species of same population gets isolated that results in lack of gene flow.
- From the isolated population, new species are formed then it is known as the peripatric speciation.
- All these isolation of populations and formation of new species depends upon the initial or original group of species that was dispersed.
1. C) Both parents contributed a recessive allele
The offspring is homozygous for the recessive allele, which means it has two copies of it. Because each parent contributes one copy of the gene, this means that both parents contributed the recessive allele.
2. D) The offspring can be tall or short
The first cross between TT and tt will yield an F1 generation with the genotype Tt. When this generation is self-pollinated, the cross may result in the following genotypes:
TT, Tt, tt
Which means that the offspring can be tall or short.
