If being short is the dominant trait, then you should expect the offspring to also be short.
This is because the traits are spread out as four different possibilities. Either FF, FF, Ff, or Ff. If the dominant trait is being short, “F” then this would mask the recessive trait “f”.
Answer:
The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).
Explanation:
There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.
The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.
For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.
- <em>Other options, such as </em><u><em>an increase in food availability</em></u><em>, a</em><u><em> decrease in tuna fishing
</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>a decrease in tuna predators</em></u><em>, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.</em>
Disruptive selection or diversifying selection describes the changes in population genetics where extreme values for a trait are favored over intermediate values.
So according to this definition, the conclusion can be derived as :
The most common circumference(s) to be after 10 generations of diversifying selection will be greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm.
The correct option is D.
The Taiga biome, which is also known as the coniferous forest has been described as the largest terrestrial biome because it extends across some continents of the world. The biome typically has short summers, which can be very wet and winters, which are long and can be very cold. The majority of plants in taiga biome are conifers and these plants are described as ever green because they remain green all year round.
