Answer:
B. Directional selection
Explanation:
When natural selection starts to choose one phenotypes that is an extreme (as in, a really small neck or a really long neck), this is an example of <u>directional selection.</u> It makes sense for giraffes to have evolved this way, because the longer the neck, the more ably they can eat food from high branches. The more food they could get, the more chance of reproduction, the more "evolutionarily fit" they are.
Stabilizing selection is when national selection picks average phenotypes (like a medium-sized neck). Disruptive selection is when the extremes are both picked (like all the medium-sized neck giraffes die, and two different species start to emerge). Sexual selection is picking a mate based on traits. Clearly, those answers don't work here.
Answer:
The reason for the offspring to present these genotypes is that during the formation of the gametes, the alleles separate and are inherited independently, therefore they can generate several different phenotypic combinations.
Explanation:
In order for an offspring to present very different phenotypes, as shown in the question above, it is necessary that the two red griffins with blue eyes that were crossed are heterozygous. Thus it will be possible for the offspring to present a wide variety of phenotype, according to Mendel's second law.
Mendel's second law is called the Law of segregation. This law explains that the alleles (which determine the characteristics of individuals) are separated in the formation of gametes and inherited by the offspring of a cross independently, and can generate different combinations of phenotypes, when the parents of a cross are heterozygous.
