If their data supported their hypothesis, then they would make a conclusion.
Natural selection act directly upon <u>Alleles</u>
Explanation:
Genes, such as that of fur color, have many variants called alleles. Natural selection act on the alleles and chooses the best fit for an environment and eliminates the disadvantageous ones from the population over generations. Mutations are a rare occurrence that increases the number of allelic variants of a genes on which natural selection can act upon.
Answer No 1:
The set up of the punnet square is shown in the attached diagram. As the alleles assort independently hence the gametes formed will be OT,Ot,OT,Ot and OT,Ot,oT,ot. These will be the outcomes of the possible gametes formed. When these gametes are cross bred, the results are shown in the diagram attached.
Answer No 2:
The outcomes of each possible genotype are:
OOTT = 2/16
OOTt = 4/16
OOtt = 2/16
Oott = 2/16
OoTT = 2/16
OoTt = 4/16
Answer No 3:
The likelihood of each possible offspring phenotype is:
Orange petals with tall stem and orange petals with small stems present in ratio 12:4 i.e. 3:1.
In comparison they both show feeding relationship in an ecosystem.
In contrast, a food chain is a simple linear feeding relationship while a food web is a complex feeding relationship.
2) The arrows is to show the direction of the feeding relationship
Since the male and the female have recessive alleles of this gene, all of their offspring will be like that too.
rr x rr cross will result in 100% of the offspring with the genotype: rr
R- dominant (but none of the parents has this allele)
r- recessive
