According to the French naturalist Comte de Buffon (George Louis Leclerc), since the lion (Panthera leo), the tiger (Panthera tigris), and the leopard (Panthera pardus) are usually unable to produce fertile hybrids when cross-mated, we should classify: the lion and the tiger as members of the same species, but the leopard as a separate species the tiger, the leopard, and the lion as members of the same species the leopard and the lion as members of the same species, but the tiger as a separate species D. the lion, the tiger, and the leopard as three different species the tiger and the leopard as members of the same species, but the lion as a separate species

f you had two guinea pigs of opposite sex, both homozygous, one black and one brown, but you didn't know which was the dominant characteristic, how would you find out the dominant color? Select one: a. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-the other will be the dominant color b. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-that will be the dominant color c. The dominant color could not be determined by mating the two, then mating their offspring; further generations would have to be produced to determine the dominant color d. Mate them together, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-the other color will be the dominant color e. Mate them, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-that will be the dominant color
Rama the cama, a llama-camel hybrid, was born in 1998. The idea was to breed an animal that has the camel's strength and endurance, and the llama's gentle disposition. However, instead of being large, strong, and sweet, Rama is smaller than expected and has a camel's short temper. The breeders plan to mate him with Kamilah, a female cama. What potential problems with this mating should the breeders anticipate?
In a populationof manatees, short whiskers are recessive to long whiskers. There are estimated to be only 4387 manatee left in the world. Of these, 827 have short whiskers. What is the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals?
There are two different phenotypes of a moth species, black and light grey, which are predated upon by birds. The more recently evolved black colour, is the dominant allele, B, while the recessive allele, b gives a light grey colour. Reduced pollution in the area has turned the trees (where the moths live) lighter. Which moth genotype(s) would be favoured by this change? Select one: O a. DD only O b. Dd only c. dd only O d. DD and Dd O e. DD and dd Of. Dd and dd
An F, generation is the result of which mating described below? Select one: O a. Randomly mating any two parents of opposite sex together. cross out O b. Mating a true breeding female to a true breeding male. cross out O c. Mating the offspring of an F, generation back to their parents. cross out cross out O d. Mating any F, male to any F, female. cross out O e. Allowing the individuals from a single F, generation to mate among themselves. Clear my choice
What behavioral trait(s) prevents interbreeding between different finch species?
Skin colour in dolphins is determined by a single gene showingincomplete dominance giving rise to 3 phenotypes Brown, Pink &White. A survey of a large population of dolphins was carried outand the phenotypes recorded. However a student who had some.of the data stored on their phone fell overboard and unfortunatelythe data was lost. The only data saved was that the brownhomozygous dominants (BB) were 64% of the population.a) What would be the percentage of pink heterozygotes and whitehomozygotes?b) What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the nextgeneration of dolphins in this population will contain the b allele?
Sometimes gene flow between populations can have negative effects, with one population receiving genes of lower fitness from another population. Which of the following below is a good case example of this observation? O Tibetian highland people interbreeding with lowland people producing children of intermediate hemoglobin proteins OInterbreeding of Texas and Florida Panthers have greater survivorship than inbred Florida Panthers O Male Townshend Warblers out compete male Hermt Warblers and mate with female Hermit Warblers O Wild steelhead interbreeding with captive steelhead produced offspring with lower relative fitness
About 7% of men in a population are red-green colour blind due to a sex-linked recessive gene. Assuming random mating in the population with respect to colour blindness. What percentage of women would be expected to be colour blind?What percentage of women would be expected to be heterozygous?What percentage of men would be colour blind in the next generation?
biology (genetics) : Coat color in a given strain of dogs is determined by two independent genes. A dominant gene (D) determines white coat, and its recessive alleles (d) gives colored coat. In the presence of the homozygous recessive dd the coat color is black due to the presence of another dominant gene (B), or brown due to its recessive allele (b). Assuming a random mating population of dogs had the following phenotypic distribution: 448 white, 168 black, and 84 brown, find the frequency of each gene in the population.
In an alternate universe, all the genes in all species haveonly two alleles, one dominant and one recessive. Wouldevery trait have only two phenotypes? Would all membersof a species that are dominant for a given gene have exactlythe same phenotype? Explain your reasoning.
Blue snorks are dominant to pink snorks. You come across a field of all blue snorks and mate them with a pink snork. The resulting progeny are all blue again. What are the most likely genotypes of the snorks from the field? Select one: a. Heterozygous for the dominant allele. b. Homozygous for the dominant allele. c. Homozygous for the recessive allele.
