to breed a pea plant that produced only purple flowers. He continued to breed purple-flower producing pea plants together over six generations. The results of Ralph's artificial selection are shown above. What did artificial selection do to the population of pea plants? A. caused a new species of pea plant to form B. increased its genetic diversity C. decreased its genetic diversity D. caused a pea plant to exhibit a new characteristic

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that <u>artificial selection decreased the genetic diversity of the pea plant.</u>

Genetic diversity is a measure of the number of traits or characters.

<em>Initially, the breeding produced a considerable population of both white and purple flower offspring. But as time goes on, the population of purple flower offspring increased while that of the white flower decreased till it eventually reached zero.</em>

Thus, artificial breeding reduced the number of traits in the population of the offspring from two to one - <em>a case of reduction in genetic diversity</em>.

The correct option is C.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

1)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice  ≅ 0.74
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.26

2)

  • frequencies of light-colored mice ≅ 0.13
  • frequencies of dark-colored mice ≅ 0.87

3)

  • q² = 0.74
  • p² = 0.02
  • 2pq = 0.24      

4)

  • q² = 0.13
  • p² = 0.4
  • 2pq = 0.46

5)

The dark-colored fur seems to have the greatest overall selective advantage

6)

Dark lava, that changed the color of the substrate, from light to dark.

7)

Because to produce dark color, animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. All of the animals are inhabiting dark substrate, which means that this environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.

8)

To see if the mice population is evolving, you need to take a sample of animals per year, through many years, and analyze if it is changing or not. If the population is evolving, you will notice a change in the allelic and genotypic frequencies over the years, favoring one genotype or the other. If the population is not evolving, the frequencies will keep equal through the years, it will not change.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
