Google: <span>The female reproductive system has two functions: The first is to produce egg cells, and the second is to protect and nourish the offspring until birth. The male reproductive system has one function, and it is to produce and deposit sperm.</span>
The correct answer is it decreases genetic diversity only by reducing population size.
<span>
The great explanation for this is a bottleneck effect, which is an extreme example of genetic drift. The bottleneck effect occurs when the size of a population is reduced due to a catastrophe. When it happens, only a small, random number of individuals survive the event and pass through the bottleneck. Thus, the genetic composition of the random survivors is now the genetic composition of the entire population which means that the genetic diversity is reduced.</span>
Answer:
The genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.
Explanation:
One of the given options has a typo: the red eye-brown body offspring count should be 56 instead of 561.
<u>We have two genes with two alleles each:</u>
Red eyes (w+) is dominant over white eyes (w).
Brown body (y+) is dominant over yellow body (y).
The phenotypes of the F2 tesulting from a test cross (F1 x wy/wy) are:
- wy+/ey (white-eye, brown body): 670
- w+y/wy (red-eye, yellow body): 650
- wy/wy (white-eye, yellow body): 38
- w+y+/wy (red-eye, brown body 56
If the genes w and y are linked, two phenotypes in the F2 will be much more abundant than the other two. Recombination during meiosis is a rare event, so the most abundant phenotypes are the parentals (the ones present in the F1 parent).
Every individual in the offpsring has a <em>wy</em> chromosome, as this was the gamete inherited from the test cross individual.
In this case, the most abundant gametes are wy+ and w+y, so the genotype of the F1 was wy+/w+y.
Notice how when recombination occurs in the F1 parent, the recombinant gametes appear: wy and w+y+, which are the less abundant in the F2 progeny.
Let’s take grass and bunnies for example.
The grass is a producer and the bunny is the consumer. The bunny eats the grass that the ground produces.
Shock Treatment (or Fish Fry) Presently several hundred feet of electrified canal water is all that stands between the most advanced front of Asian carp and a free run to the open waters of Lake Michigan.
Hope this helps :)
