Which of the best explanation of directional natural selection occur by change in environmental condition?

A. Increase in the frequency of dark-colored mutants in polluted areas, became known as industrial melanism

B. Numerous insect pests become resistant to insecticides and numerous bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.

C. A plant that is too short may not be able to compete with other plants for sunlight. However, extremely tall plants may be more susceptible to wind damage

D- Beetles move into a new environment with patches of light-green moss and dark-green shrubs, both light and dark beetles might be better hidden (and survive better) than medium-green beetles

Maximum height of plant is 200 cm and minimum average height is 80cm. if plant height is controle by 5 pairs of polygene, which of the following plant exhibit average phenotype?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

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?

Two varieties of maize averaging 50 and 20 inches in height, respectively, are crossed. The F1 progeny is quite uniform averaging 35 inches in height. Out Of the 16 F2 plants, the 5 are 35 inches. What is the probable number of independent segregating polygenes involved in this trait?
