In snurks, 8 toes is dominant to three toes, and green skin is dominant to fuschia skin. heterozy Branching antennae are common among the snurk population, however the gene is known to be recessive. The dominant trait is having a single antennae. If a three toed fuschia single antennae snurk mates with a 8 toed green single antennae snurk, determine the probability of the following snurklets (baby snurks). Due to the importance of genetic information to snurks, both parent snurks underwent genetic testing. The green snurk is homozygous for his color, but heterozygous for his other traits. The female snurk is heterozygous for her antennae trait but homozygous for her toe traits. Determine the probability of the following! Green snurklet with branching antennae a. 3 toed green single antennae snurklet C. A snurklet that is heterozygous for all three traits d. A 8 toed fuschia snurklet that has a single antennae e. 3 toes green branching antennae snurklet b.
Evolutionary Genetics
Evolution is known as continuous changes that occur to adjust organisms in their changing environment over many generations. Various theories have been proposed to illustrate the origin of life and organic evolution. The most accepted one is the theory of natural selection by Charles Darwin. According to his postulate, organisms undergo a struggle for existence due to overproduction. To survive in nature, they acquire variations. The inheritable variations are selected by nature, and it leads to the survival of the fittest.
Phenotype Frequency
The majority of populations have a certain degree of variation in their genetic pools. Scientists can predict the genetic variation happening over time by measuring the amount of genetic variation in a population and these predictions assist them in gaining important insights into the processes that allow organisms to adapt to the environment or to develop into new species over generations. This process is referred to as the process of evolution.
Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium
The frequencies of allele and genotype were maintained constant from one generation to another due to the absence of other evolutionary forces. It is otherwise called the Hardy Weinberg principle the field of population genetics.
