Question Question 2 The matrix below provides information about each candy 'species.' Each column represents a candy trait, with 1's meaning the candy bar has that trait, and O's meaning the candy bar does not have that trait. For example, Cherry Mash (24) is the only candy bar with the Cherry trait, while both Almond Joy (21) and Mounds (22) have the Coconut trait. (The trait matrix tells you which candy bars have which traits. You do not need to be familiar with them beforehand!) 20 21 22 18 19 10 121314 24 25 A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 16 17 Drops Flat Bar Round Shape Rectangular Bar Bar 10 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 o o 0 0 0 1 10 0 0 1 0 0 10 000 0 0 0 O 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 10 0 1 1 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 10 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 M&M's Milk Chocolate 1 2 M&M's Peanut 3 M&M's Peanut Butter 4 Hershey's Milk Chocolate 5 Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds 6 Hershey's Milk Chocolate White 7 Crunch 8 3 Musketeers 9 Snickers 10 Snickers Almond Bar 110 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 o 0 0 0 0 o 0 1 0 0 110 0 1 00 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0ο ο 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11 Milky Way 12 Milky Way Midnight Dark 13 Heath 14 Rolo 15 100 Grand 16 Twix 17 Kitkat 18 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups 19 PayDay 20 Butterfinger 21 Almond Joy 22 Mounds 10 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 0 0 0 1 10 0 0 1 10 0 0 0 0 1 00 0 23 York Peppermint Pattie 24 Cherry Mash Based upon this phylogenetic tree and this trait matrix, is the following statement supported? True for 'yes, the statement is supported', False for 'no, the statement is not supported'. Peach (25) is more evolved than all the other species in the tree. True False
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
PLS HELP..


The phylogenetic tree is the diagrammatic representation of lines that tells about the evolutionary descent of different organisms, genes, and species from a common ancestor. It is also called as phylogeny. It is basically a 2-dimensional graph.
