What was the genetic variation of dark moths and how did it occur?

Alik [6]3 years ago

Answer:

Natural Selection

Explanation:

A random genetic mutation gave rise to the dark colored moths. All types of living things have small differences between the individuals in the species. If one of those differences allows the individual to live longer, they will likely have more offspring. As that trait is passed on, the population starts to look more like a successful individual. Over time, the species changes.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Option D, The DDT killed susceptible flies. The few that were already naturally resistant survived and passed this resistance on to their offspring.

Explanation:

When DDT was sprayed for the first time, some of the house flies which were not capable enough to withstand the adverse effects of DDT , eventually died. And the butterflies that survived through this,   were having a natural resistance against DDT. Now, with time these DDT resistant houseflies mated and produced offspring that had genetic trait of resisting DDT by birth. This is the reason,  why houseflies after ten years were as abundant as  ten years back when the control program was started.

Option D is correct

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

12 : 3 : 1

Explanation:

According to Mendel's principles, a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous summer squash parents (WwGg X WwGg) should yield offsprings, 12 with white, 3 with yellow and  1 with green color phenotype. The classic Mendelian phenotypic ratio for dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1. In this case, genotypes W- G- and W- gg produce white color phenotype. This is because we have 12: 3: 1 phenotypic ratio in which the alleles of two different genes assort independently into gametes.

<em>Dihybrid cross for heterozygous summer squash:</em>

                    WG         Wg            wG            wg          

    WG      WWGG   WWGg     WwGG     WwGg

    Wg       WWGg   WWgg     WwGg      Wwgg

    wG        WwGG    WwGg     wwGG      wwGg

      wg       WwGg    Wwgg     wwGg        wwgg

   Genotypes:

   W-G-  and W- gg  = white = 12

    ww G- = yellow = 3

     ww gg = green = 1
