Ecologist has proposed following explanation to lead biodiversity at tropic.

a) Higher productivity in the tropics allows for more species

b)  Environments are more stable and predictable in the tropics, with fairly constant temperatures and rainfall levels year-round

c) Predators and pathogens limit competition in the tropics, which allows more species to coexist

d) High evolutionary speed at tropic than temperate

A pure-breeding strain of squash that produced disk-shaped fruits was crossed with a pure breeding strain having long fruits. The F1 had disk fruits, but the F2 showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the following proportions

Disk  384            

Sphere 96

 Long  32

What is reason for F2 phenotype?

In corn, three dominant alleles, called A, C, and R, must be present to produce colored seeds. Genotype A/–; C/– ; R/– is colored; all others are colorless. A colored plant AaCCRr is crossed with colorless plant aaCcRr. What proportional of offspring plant with colorless seed?

A snapdragon plant that bred true for white petals was crossed to a plant that bred true for purple petals, and all the F1 had white petals. The F1 was selfed. Among the F2, three phenotypes were observed in the following numbers

white                              240

solid-purple                    61

spotted-purple                19

Total                              320

Which of the following reason to deviation f2 phenotype ratio ?
