Answer #1

10. (B) Demonstrates the law of independent assortment

    1). The genotypes have an associated fitness values which we described in class as (1 1 1-s) for directional selection, (1 1-s 1) for disruptive and so on. In each of the examples below, write out the expected fitness values for AA,Aa, aa. Note that determining whether fitness for the heterozygote Aa is dominant or not is part of the question. All examples assume no other agent of evolution unless specified or required. Example: AA Aa aa   Answer: 1 1-s...

    QUESTION 2 Climate change is a threat to the existence of many species. Which of the following limits to natural selection hinders the adaptation of species to the new climate conditions? The developmental plans of plants and animals are too complex. They cannot cope with the warmer temperatures. Mutations happen so frequently that beneficial alleles change before natural selection can substantially increase their frequency Many species not have gene variants in their gene pool that are beneficial in higher temperatures. Climate change happens so...
