#XL - S Microbiology
  1. Adaptations beneficial in one habitat should generally be beneficial in all other habitats as well.

  2. Different species that occupy the same habitat will adapt to that habitat by undergoing the same genetic changes.

  3. Adaptations beneficial at one time should generally be beneficial during all other times as well.

  4. Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring, and thus contribute more to the next generationʹs gene pool, than do poorly adapted individuals.

Imagine that height in corn plants is determined by three loci. The baseline height is 100 cm. Every + allele adds 10cm to the plant’s potential height, every – allele subtracts 10 cm from the plant’s potential height. The shortest possible plant and the tallest possible plant are mated to form an F1, what is the height of the F1?
