Answer:

Yes...This is an example of speciation by natural selection

Explanation:

As we know that natural selection always promote those evolutionary changes that are necessary. Changes that happen in chromosome number always promote with a specie that is closely related to the parent specie and produce fertile off-springs. These new generations are most adaptable and can survive in the environment more efficiently than the previous ones.

Additionally, other than natural selection, speciation can also happen as a result of random mutations, genetic drift and by means of artificial selection as well. But the natural likelihood of all these is probably low as compared to that of natural selection.

Cinnabar colored eyes (cn) and reduced bristles (rd) are autosomal recessive genes and lobe shaped eyes (L) is an autosomal domi
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct genotypic notation for a wild type with phenotypic characteristics: red eyes, long bristle and round eyes will be any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl or CNRdl if c, n, r and d are capable of independent assortment and CNRDl if they cannot.

Explanation:

The eye color and bristle size is coordinated by either recessive cn and dominant CN or Cn genes. The wild type in questions has red color eyes, which is a dominant trait coordinated by CN or Cn if c and n can undergo assortment independently or just CN if they cannot. The second characteristics of the wild type is long bristle. We were told that reduced bristle is coordinated by recessive rd Gene. Then the long bristle in our specimen wild type will have dominant genotypic notification of RD or Rd, depending if r and d can undergo assortment independently. The last trait is a round eyes, which is a recessive trait controlled by recessive allele l. Therefore, the combined characteristics of red eye color, long bristle and round eyes shape of the wild type will be CNRDl or any of CNRDll, CnRdl, CnRDl CNRdl depending on the segregation pattern of c, n, r and d.
