The genes in a population give forth the genetic variability across a population (genotypes). In addition, occasional mutations of these genes in a population increase this genetic variability. Hovever, natural selection only favours reproduction of individuals with genes that are favourable in the environment/habitat. Therefore, natural selection has no foresight but is rather pegged on being an ‘opportunistic’ process.
I) Alleles is the alternative form of a gene or in other terms the variant form of a gene. If there are two alleles at a locus p and q are used to represent their frequencies. Frequencies of all alleles in a population will add up to 1.
Therefore, in this case if red allele CW is p=0.7, then the frequency of the white allele in this population (q) is 0.3.
ii) From the punnet square the expected genotypes frequencies in the offspring generation will be 0.49 CRCR (red flowers, o.42 CRCW (pink flowers) and 0.09 CWCW (white flowers).
The answer is cross-pollination, by using parents that had different traits.
Gregor Mendel researched pea plants and he <span>established the principles of heredity. To explain his experiments and discoveries, he invented terms dominant and recessive in reference to traits. In his experiments, he used cross pollination which includes the crossing of parents with different traits. For example, he crossed a plant with green peas and a plant with yellow peas (two different traits) and studied how these traits are inherited to the next generation.</span>
The bird species has presumably adapted to the conditions after the forest fire if they're still alive. They might have found a new shelter to live at and foods to eat and make it durable for the time period remaining to keep surviving.
<span>The barn owl's right ear opens slightly upward while its left ear opens slightly downward. this difference enables the owl to detect the location of a sound. It would actually depend on the location of where it would be at, and based on this, depending where it would then be located, this would then be able to differentiate where it would be located.</span>
