Answer:

-all species change gradually over time.

Explanation:

Mutation often results from cell replication and division. These occur as small, random, errors within the genetic code that become more common or stable within a population over time as traits.

As organisms live within varying niches, environmental changes may render some genetic traits obsolete. However, others may become more beneficial as an adaptation. These adaptations, which make an organism and its offspring suited to a niche, and more likely to survive and reproduce become inherited- this process is called evolution.

In Guinea pigs, short hair is dominant and long hair is recessive. A

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

a. S represents allele for short hair while s represents allele for long hair.

b. Ss (male) × ss (female)

c. 50% Ss, 50% ss

d. 3 long hair (ss), 3 short hair (Ss)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for hair length in guinea pigs. The allele for short hair (S) is dominant over the allele for long hair (s).

a. Letter "S" will represent the allele for short hair while letter "s" will represent the allele for long hair.

b. According to this question, a heterozygous male is crossed with a long-haired female. The genotype of the male guinea pig is "Ss" while that of the female is "ss". (see attachment for the punnet square)

c. The possible genotypes of the offsprings in this cross are: Ss and ss, each carrying 50% each as they are produced in a ½ Ss: ½ ss.

d. Since 50% of the offsprings will be both short haired and long haired, If they have six babies, 3 of them will be short-haired while 3 of them will also be long-haired.
