Answer:
The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2
Explanation:
In mice, dwarfism is caused by an X-linked recessive allele, and pink coat is caused by an autosomal dominant allele where coats are normally brownish.
A dwarf female from a pure line will have Xd Xd where d represent the recessive trait and the female is also brownish (pp).
A pink male from a pure line will be XPY where P represent the dominant allele but not a dwarf (D).
Xd Xd Xp Xp
XD XDXd XDXd XP XPXp XPXp F1 generation
Y XdY XdY Y XpY XpY
P XDXd x XdY XPXp x XpY
XD Xd XP Xp
Xd XDXd <u>XdXd</u> Xp <u>XPXp</u> XpXp F2 generation
Y XDY XdY Y XPY XpY
The probability of getting a dwarf and pink female is 1/2
Answer:
Changes in the environment may leave individuals less well adapted to compete successfully for resources such as food, water and mates. Sometimes an entire species may become unable to compete successfully and reproduce. These problems can lead to extinction.
