<span>The mountains were once seas. The land was forced up by tectonic motion when the mountains were formed. The Sahara also used to be a sea and has a valley full of the fossilized remains of an extinct species of whale. It is generally agreed upon that two plates colliding caused the uplift that created the mountainous zone. Same for the Himalayas.</span>
The phenotype is - 75 % red and 25 %brown.
The genotype is hRhR - 25%
hBkhR - 50%
hBrhBk - 25%.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The cross given here is a simple dominant - recessive relationship between the three types of alleles of hair colour. The genes of this characteristics are present in autosomes, so will be segregated equally among all the sexes of the offsprings.
Now the genotype of auburn and red with black mother is given. So during gametogenesis, the gametes from the parents will be
Father - hBr and hR
Mother - hBk and hR
So, the probable combinations are hBrhBk, hBrhR and hBkhR.
The frequency of the combinations are 25%, 25% and 50% respectively.
The phenotypic ratio will be red : brown as 3:1.
Black stuff from volcanos!
