Answer:<em>Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms produce.</em>
Answer:
1. Minimum viable population is the estimate of the fewest number of organisms a population needs to avoid extinction.
2. The measurement will most likely stay the same if the number of offspring each female in the population produces increases.
3. If the death rate increases, this measurement will most likely increase.
Explanation:
Minimum Viable Population:
- Minimum viable population is an ecological threshold that signifies the minimum number of individuals required to prevent the species from going extinct.
- MVP determines population conservation benchmarks.
- MVP also helps in keeping a population genetically diverse as a limited number of individuals present limited mating opportunities and therefore limited genetic diversity.
Answer:
The question lacks options, the options are:
parents?
A.100% red/white-feather chickens.
B.50% white-feather chickens and 50% red/white-feather chickens.
C.33% white-feather chickens, 33% red-feather chickens, and 33% red/white-feather chickens.
D.25% white-feather chickens, 25% red-feather chickens, and 50% red/white-feather chickens
The Correct answer is D
Explanation:
According to the question, the hybrid chicken has a mixture of red and white feather phenotypes expressed at the same time. This tells us that the red and white alleles are CODOMINANT in the chicken i.e. none is dominant or recessive over the other.
Let's assume that (R) allele is the red feather colour while (r) allele is for white feather colour. Therefore, the red/white feathered chicken will have a Rr genotype. In a cross between two red/white feathered chicken (Rr), the following offsprings will be produced RR, Rr, Rr and rr
RR- Homozygous red feather d chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)
Rr- Hybrid Red/White feathered chicken (2/4 × 100=50%)
rr- Homozygous white feathered chicken (1/4 × 100=25%)
