I am going to take a guess based off of my earth science knowledge and say it is false. Sorry if I'm wrong.
The correct answer of this question is option B. Natural selection acted on the variation that was present in the population. This adaptation was a result from the Industrial Revolution. The dark-colored moths have camouflaged more effectively than the light-colored ones.
Answer:
A) 300
B) 3:1
C) 9 long yellow : 3 long green : 3 short yellow : 1 short green
Explanation:
Long stems (L_) are dominant to short stems (ll)
Yellow seeds (Y_) are dominant to green seeds (yy)
We interbred pea plants with long stems and yellow seeds (L_Y_), but they had a short green parent (llyy) that could have only produced <em>ly</em> gametes, so our plants are heterozygous <em>LlYy</em>.
C) We interbred them LlYy x LlYy. If the two genes are unlinked, this is a typical dihybrid cross and from Mendel's law of independent assortment we know that the offspring will have the following phenotypic ratios:
- 9/16 L_Y_ (Long, yellow)
- 3/16 L_yy (Long, green)
- 3/16 llY_ (short, yellow)
- 1/16 llyy (short, green)
A) 3/16 × 1600 = 300 plants will be long and green.
B)
9/16 + 3/16 = 12/16= 3/4 plants will be yellow;
3/16 + 1/16 = 4/16= 1/4 plants will be green.
The ratio will be 3 yellow : 1 green
Yes this statement is true
If the organism has no natural predators then that organism can start to overpopulate the habitat and use up valuable resources that other organisms, who DO have natural predators, need to survive and repopulate.
