Answer:

Explanation:

If there are 5 genes, let us assume that they are in the alternative forms with 2 possible gets for each five... So we have

2 possible gametes for each five = 2 to the power of 5 = 32 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 5 = 243

The same also for 10 genes

2 possible gametes for each 10 = 2 to the power of 10 = 1024 gametes

Then genotypes = 3 to the power of 10 = 59,049

The same also for 20 genes

2 possible gametes for each 20 = 2 to the power of 20= 1,048,576

Them genotypes = 3 to the power of 20 = 3,486,784,401

How does this experiment intend to compare the two populations of juncos?
Crank

In this experiment, researchers compared how fast the junco populations adapted.

<h3>What is the focus of the study?</h3>

This study focuses on the adaption process of Juncos (a specific bird population) in urban environments and how they behave in terms of stress and boldness behavior (interest in exploring unknown areas).

<h3>How did the study work?</h3>

In this study, scientists compared the behavior of a population of birds in an urban area with the behavior of another population of birds that lived in a novel urban area to determine the adaptation process of the second population.

Note: This question is incomplete because the information about the study is missing; here is the name of the possible study: Boldness behavior and stress physiology in a novel urban environment suggest rapid correlated evolutionary adaptation
