(see figure above) The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is leading to a decline in fitness of wild populations. This data does not help us understand effects of gene flow on fitness. The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is neither helping nor hindering the fitness of the wild population. The gene flow between hatchery-reared and wild populations is increasing the fitness of the wild populations.arrow_forwardWhy do individuals produce antibodies to antigens they do not have?arrow_forwardA gene with one dominant and one recessive genotype is a __________arrow_forward

He collects information about the local people, including how many family members contracted the disease and where they live. John discovers that the disease is most common in homes located closest to the town’s water pump. John contrives an explanation: that the illness is waterborne and people are contracting the disease from water they retrieve from the town’s water pump. After petitioning the authorities, the handle at the pump is removed. John collects data about disease incidence and finds that occurrence of the disease is greatly reduced. John concludes that the water from the pump was causing the illness. What step(s) of the scientific method is/are missing from Data Table 1?
