How can mutations affect evolutionary processes? A) Mutations are novel genes that increase an organism’s fitness in the environ

ment. B) Mutations are new genotypes that cause an organism to be more poorly fit due to non-functional essential genes within its genome. C) Mutations are changes in the genome that can code for new phenotypes that may be selected for or against by the environmental pressures. D) Mutations are changes to protein structure that create new genotypes that can be selected for or against by the environmental pressures.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect as mutations may be detrimental to the organism and are not always beneficial. Option B is incorrect as there are instances where mutations may enable organisms to be better adapted to the environment. Option D is incorrect as genotypes are not selected for or selected against by environmental pressures, it is only the phenotype (exhibitable/ visible traits) that can be selected for or against, hence option C is the answer.

What is the probability of producing offspring that is white in color? If I said 50% how would it be wrong.
Vaselesa [24]
1. In snapdragons, the color of the flower is controlled by incomplete dominance. The two alleles are red (R) and white (r). What is genotype of a pink snapdragon? Answer Choice Feedback A. or Incorrect. This snapdragon would be white. B. RR Incorrect. This snapdragon’s phenotype would be red. C. Rr Correct! Since the snapdragon is controlled by incomplete dominance, one allele for red (R), and one for white (W) would result in a pink flower. D. Rw Incorrect. This is not written correctly 2. If a pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant what is the probability of producing a pink-flowered plant? (Hint: Draw a Punnett square to help you answer the question) Answer Choice Feedback A. 25% Incorrect. The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is or. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. B. 50% Correct! The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is rr. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. C. 75% Incorrect. The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is or. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. D. 0% Incorrect. The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is or. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink. 3. Bernadette is blood type O. She has two sisters. One sister has blood type A and the other has blood type B. Using this information and your knowledge of how blood type is determined, determine the genotypes of Bernadette’s parents for this trait. Answer Choice Feedback A. I Ani, IB I Correct! The genotype for type O blood (Bernadette’s type) is “ii”, so both parents must have at least on “i”. Since one sister is type B, one parent must have the IB allele. Since the other sister is type A, then one parent must have the IA allele. B. I A I A, IA I An Incorrect. This would result in children with only type A blood. C. I B me B, IB I B Incorrect. This would result in children with only type B blood D. I B I, IB I Incorrect. This would result in offspring with either type O blood or type B.
