Dwarves (ya know, like in Lord of the Rings or whatever) come in two sizes, normal and shorter (the petty dwarves).  Lets say Dwarven height is governed by one sex linked gene.  Being normal sized is the dominant trait, being shorter is the recessive trait.  Dwarves have an X Y sex determination like we do.  A shorter dwarven female marries a normal sized dwarven male. 1. What is the genotype of both parents 2. What is the percent change that any daughter will be a short dwarf?  What is the percent change that any son will be a short dwarf?

Human Evolution

Human evolution is the process of evolution of humans from early man to anatomically modern humans. The process of evolution in humans leads to the gradual development of traits like bipedalism. Humans are the highly social animals that make them the most advanced animal on Earth.  Human evolution is an outcome of interaction among the following processes:
