Chapter 20, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: Thereason that the frequency of green toads increase in the subsequent generation even if the color difference has a genetic basis.
Introduction: The genotype of an organism is dependent on its genome and also on the environment of the organism. In some of the animals, it is not as typical as the genotype of the mother plays a crucial role. This type of effect is known as a maternal effect. The genes that participate in this are called maternal effect genes.
