Natural selection is basically when organisms with the best traits survive and pass on their good traits to their offspring so that they will adapt easily and survive. Organisms who do not have ‘good traits’ that help them adapt and escape predators will be killed or eaten before they reproduce.
So in the end, natural selection is a form of evolution that allows the ‘fittest’ animals to survive and reproduce, while weeding out the unfit.
Answer:
C. An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele
Explanation:
Assuming the black genotype is BB and the brown genotype is bb.
At F1:
BB x bb = All Bb (black)
At F2:
Bb x Bb = BB (black), 2Bb (Black), bb (brown)
Th ratio of black to brown is 3:1
961 black : 317 brown is approximately 3:1.
Hence, the correct option is C.
<em>An approximately three-to-one ratio of black to brown coated mice in F2 is accounted for by the black allele being dominant over the brown allele</em>
