Peter and Rosemary Grant observed a small group of the large ground finches that colonized Daphne Major in the Galápagos Islands
erica [24]

Answer:

1) Founder effect and genetic drift: Small colonizing population did not represent the original gene pool of the source population and was more likely to undergo genetic drift.

2) Natural selection

Explanation:

Evolution of the population of the finches with larger beaks might have occurred due to one of the following mechanisms:

a) Founder effect and genetic drift: Since the size of the colonizing population was small, it did not carry all the genes and their alleles present in the gene pool of the original population. The small population size made it more likely to evolve by any chance event.  

b) Natural selection: The availability of different food types in the new habitat led to the natural selection of the larger beaks as the finches with larger beaks might have been able to better exploit the available food resources.

In a particular population of mice, certain individuals display a phenotype called "short tail," which is inherited as a dominan
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The "short tail" dominant allele is easier to eliminate by selective breeding.

Explanation:

The only way for a recessive allele to be expressed (be visible) is when it appears as recessive homozygotic. These means the organisms need to have 2 copies of the gene. Selective breeding is based on the characteristics that one can see, so if the organism shows the "dilute" phenotype you can keep reproducing this individuals and get rid of the dominant allele.

On the other hand if you have a population with the dominant phenotype, you discard all the ones that have a recessive trait and you breed the dominant phenotype you could still get individuals with the recessive phenotype and individuals that express the dominant phenotype but are heterozygous.
