The graphs below show the changes in crab color at one beach.

Biology
1 answer:
vazorg [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. Both light tan and dark tan body color provided an advantage to the crabs on this beach, but not necessarily in other crab habitats.

Explanation:

The changes in the number of light tan and dark tan body color of crabs that occured can be described as a diversifying or disruptive selection.

This disruptive selection occurs when individuals with extreme traits on both ends of the spectrum become selected against individuals of ntermediate or medium traits.

In the case of the crab, their environment favors the selection of both extreme values as against those intermediate individuals, as both light tan and dark tan body color of the crabs gives them advantage over others in this particular environment. This may only be obtainable in this environment or similar beach environment with the same settings and conditions.

ou are given two true-breeding groups of rabbits. The first group has floppy ears and white fur. The second group has straight e
Lena [83]

Answer:

you expect to see that 75% of your F2 generation rabbits have floppy ears and 25% of your rabbits have black fur.

Explanation:

<u> Available data:</u>

  • Two true-breeding groups of rabbits.
  • The first group has floppy ears and white fur.
  • The second group has straight ears and black fur.
  • 100% of the F1 generation has floppy ears and gray fur.
  • Each of these traits is determined by a single gene and undergo independent assortment.

Having this information we can infer that floppy years, expressed by F allele, might be dominant over straight ears, expressed by f allele. And that the fur color is affected by incomplete dominance, being B the allele expressing black color, b the allele expressing white color and Bb the genotype for grey color.

Incomplete dominance is a condition where neither of the alleles completely dominates over the other one. Descendents possess an intermediate phenotype between the two parental phenotypes and not the dominant one.

Cross between groups

Parental)  FFbb   x   ffBB

F1)                    FfBb

<u>Cross for the ear traits:</u>

Parental)  Ff    x    Ff

Gametes) F  f    F   f

F2) 75% of the progeny have floppy ears, FF and Ff

      25% of the progeny have straight ears, ff

<u>Cross for the fur color traits</u>:

Parental)  Bb     x     Bb

Gametes) B   b     B    b

Punnet Square)     B      b

                       B    BB    Bb

                       b    Bb    bb

F2) 25% of the progeny have black fur, BB

     50% of the progeny have grey fur, Bb

      25% of the progeny have white fur, bb
