Claytonia virginica is a woodland spring herb with flowers that vary from white, to pale pink, to bright pink. Slugs prefer to eat pink-flowering over white-flowering plants (due to chemical differences between the two), and plants experiencing severe herbivory are more likely to die. The bees that pollinate this plant also prefer pink to white flowers, so that Claytonia with pink flowers have greater relative fruit set than Claytonia with white flowers. A researcher observes that the percentage of different flower colors remains stable in the study population from year to year. Given no other information, if the researcher removes all slugs from the study population, what do you expect to happen to the distribution of flower colors in the population over time?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. The percentage of pink flowers should increase over time.

  2. The percentage of white flowers should increase over time.

  3. The distribution of flower colors should not change.

  4. The distribution of flower colors should randomly fluctuate over time.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In each of the following cases, determine the consequences of a single crossover within the inverted region of a pair of homologous chromosomes with the gene order A B C D in one chromosome and a c b d in the other. There is a two situation of centromere for that gene. 

(A) Centromere is not included within the inversion.

(B) Centromere is included within the inversion

Following consequence are resulting are

I - The crossover chromatids consist of a dicentric and an acentric

II- One Cross over product is duplicated for the terminal region contain in A and deficient for the terminal region containing D

III- Both cross over products is monocentric

Following is correct combination for consequence?
