A- Georgie should have use more than two people per group.
Answer:
According to Darwin's theory of evolution, new species evolved as a result of natural selection.
Explanation:
- Darwin proposed that speciation could readily occur through the prolonged action of Natural selection.
- Natural selection allows the 'survival of the fittest' i.e. a more fit organism will have a better chance of survival than the less fit one.
- The result of Natural selection could be positive,negative or balancing.
- Evolutionary process in which the genetic changes confer a higher fitness to increase frequency of the organism over time in population is called positive selection.
- Evolutionary process in which genetic changes decreases the organism's fitness resulting in its disappearance from the population is called Negative selection.
- It may happen that a mutation benefits hetero-zygotes but not homo-zygotes and alleles maintain a intermediate frequency in population.This evolutionary process is called balancing selection.

The Hardy-Weinberg principle can be used:</span>
<em>p² + 2pq + q² = 1</em> and <em>p + q = 1</em>
where <em>p</em> and <em>q</em> are the frequencies of
the alleles, and <em>p²</em>, <em>q²</em> and <em>2pq </em>are the
frequencies of the genotypes.
<span>The <em>r</em> allele (<em>q</em>) is found in 15% of the population:
q = 15% = 15/100
Thus, q = </span><span>0.15
To calculate the <em>R</em> allele frequency (<em>p</em>), the formula p + q = 1 is
used:
If p + q = 1, then p = 1 - q
p = 1 - 0.15
Thus, </span><span>p = 0.85
Knowing the frequency of the <em>R</em> allele (<em>p</em>), it is easy to determine the
frequency of the RR genotype (p²):
p² = 0.85² = 0.7225
Expressed in percentage, p² = 72.25%.</span>
