Answer:
Population size decreases
The answer would be dominant
The right option is; c. can be used and consumed without risk
The defining characteristic of potable water is that it can be used and consumed without risk.
Potable water is the water that is considered safe for human consumption without risk of health problems. Potable water meets drinking water quality standards in terms of physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. Potable water has been treated and it is assumed to be considerately free of harmful pathogens such as bacteria and contaminants.
Answer:
c. Would have deviated from the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio
Explanation:
<em>If two genes are linked together on the same chromosome, the phenotype of the F2 generation would have deviated from 9:3:3:1.</em>
Two genes whose loci are close on the same chromosome are said to be linked. Linked genes have higher frequency of recombination than genes that are not linked.
<u>Hence, while genes that are not linked assort independently to produce 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio at F2, linked genes do not assort independently and the higher frequency of recombination ensures that they standard phenotypic ratio is deviated from.</u>
The correct option is c.
