Currently, two extant elephant species (X and Y) are classified in the genus Loxodonta, and a third species (Z) is placed in the genus Elephas. Thus, which statement should be true?

#Section 2: Evolution
  1. Species X and Y are not related to species Z.

  2. Species X and Y share a greater number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.

  3. Species X and Y share a common ancestor that is alive today.

  4. Species X and Y are the result of artificial selection.

Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder. X+ chromosome carry a normal allele but Xc chromosome carries defective allele. When frequency of colorblindness female (0.10), colorblind male (0.30) and heterozygous female (0.20). Random matting population, what will be frequency of carrier female?
