Why might a peahen choose to mate with a peacock with a long, gaudy tail?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. He is easier to find than a male with a plain tail

  2. She feels sorry for him
  3. Actually, it is the male (peacock) that chooses its mate
  4. A male with such a tail who is able to survive and reproduce likely carries genes that will enhance the survival of the peahen's young

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

A three point test cross was carried out in Drosophila melanogaster involving three adjacent incomplete link genes A, B and C. arranged in the same order. The distance between A to B is 5 map units (mu) and that between B to C is 10 map. If pure line Drosophila AAbbCC crosses with aaBBcc to produce F1 offspring were allowed to cross with aabbcc result in following offspring genotype?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In the plant Arabidopsis, the loci for pod length (L, long; l, short) and fruit hairs (H, hairy; h, smooth) are linked 16 map units apart on the same chromosome. The following crosses were made:

(i) L H/L H X l h/l h = F1

(ii) L h/L h X l H/l H = F1

If the F1’s from (i) and (ii) are crossed, what proportion of the progeny are expected to l h/l h?
