#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Indicate that we  have reached a  state of  stable equilibrium  in  which  speciation and extinction rates are approximately equal.
  2. Suggest that one-half of all animal and plant species may be gone by the year 2100.
  3. Indicate that rates may be greater than the mass extinctions at the close of the Cretaceous period. 
  4. Indicate that only 1% of all of the species that have ever lived on Earth are still alive.

Parents that are homozygous for different mutations a, b and c are crossed, producing offspring that are heterozygous as following

aa X bb        =  ab  (X)          

 bb X cc         =  bc  (Y)

aa X cc          =   ac  (Z)

If a and b belong to same locus but b and c belong to different locus then phenotype of heterozygote

A female fly, full of fertilized eggs, is swept by high winds to an island far out to sea. She is the first fly to arrive on this island, and the only fly to arrive in this way. Thousands of years later, her numerous offspring occupy the island, but none of them resembles her. There are, instead, several species each of which eats only a certain type of food. None of the species can fly, for their flight wings are absent, and their balancing organs (i.e., halteres) are now used in courtship displays. The male members of each species bear modified halteres that are unique in appearance to their species. Females bear vestigial halteres. The ranges of all of the daughter species overlap. If these fly species lost the ability to fly independently of each other as a result of separate mutation events in each lineage, then the flightless condition in these species could be an example of
