1. The data below show the phenotype of the offspring mean on the Y-axis plotted against the midparent on the X-axis. The line is the line of best fit through the data (linear regression). That line has a slope of 0.06, and the p-value of 0.13 (as p > 0.05, the relationship is not statistically significant). Does there appear to be a genetic basis for this character?

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
