Summarize evidence that the yup flower-color locus acts as a prezygotic barrier to reproduction in two species of monkey flowers. Do these results demonstrate that the yup locus alone controls barriers to reproduction between these species? Explain.

In the fish Species a, the expression of different combinations of four Hox genes results in structural differences in tissues and organs along the anterior-posterior axis. Figure 3 shows the expression pattern of four genes, i.e. Genes 1 – 4, and the tissue produced along the embryonic anterior - posterior plane of fish Species a wild type. The influence of Hox genes on the formation of specific types of tissue can be determined by introducing gain-of-function and loss-of-function mutations in specific Hox genes. Looking at Figure 3, predict what would happen to each one of the four types of tissues, if the expression of gene 3 was expanded anteriorly by a gain-of-function mutation so that the pattern of gene 3 expression would be the same as that of gene 2.
Flower color variation in Phlox drummondii living either in sympatry or allopatry with Phlox cuspidata has previously been studied. Phlox drummondii exist in four colors: light blue, dark blue, light red, and dark red. Each flower color is controlled by a specific combination of alleles. In allopatry, butterflies randomly pollinate Phlox drummondii flowers of all color types. In contrast, non-random pollination occurs between differently colored flowers when both Phlox species are living in sympatry. The graph depicts the relative fitness of the alleles that drive flower color in Phlox drummondii under conditions of sympatry or allopatry with Phlox cuspidata. Label each half of the graph with the term sympatry or allopatry based on the observed trend in the relative fitness of the alleles that control all four flower colors in Phlox drummondii.
Suppose Jonathan breeds flowers and wants to optimize production of offspring with both short stems and white flowers, which are coded for by two genes with the recessive alleles t and p, respectively. In flowers, T codes for tall stems and P codes for purple flowers. Jonathan crosses two heterozygotes that produce 544544 offspring. How many of these 544544 offspring are predicted to have both short stems and white flowers?   please help solve and please explain thank you
