Answer:

Skin color is a quantitative trait influenced by the combined action of many genes, thereby different gene pools can result in the same skin color.

Explanation:

Quantitative traits (also known as continuous traits, ) are phenotypic traits that depend on the combined action of many genes and the environment. These traits show continuous variation, changing gradually over a range of values in the population. Examples of quantitative traits include height, skin color, weight, etc. A gene pool is the sum of all the individual genes in a population. In consequence, different populations may show different allele combinations (gene pools) that result in the same phenotype for a quantitative trait (skin color).

Which is the best example of commensalism?
Strike441 [17]
Commensalism is a situation in nature where there is an association between two organisms that benefits one but does not help nor harm the other.

Let's go through each example in order to find one with commensalism.

A). Honey bees that feed on the pollen of cornflowers and help the flowers reproduce. 

This is not a form of commensalism as both organisms mutually benefit from the association.

B). Barnacles ride on a gray whale's back to obtain food, and the whale is not harmed.

This is a form of commensalism. The barnacles benefit from riding on the whale's back as they obtain food. The whale is also unharmed in the process.

C). Squirrels and chipmunks eat the same nuts in a forest where food is scarce.

This is not a form of commensalism as neither organism benefits. There is an increased competition for food that harms both of the organisms.

D). Prairie dogs often collect and eat food in groups so they are better protected from enemies.

This is not a form of commensalism as the interaction of the organisms is within the same species. In order for commensalism to take place, two different species must interact. 

The best example of commensalism is B.
