Describe how the relative numbers of pds and npds can be used to establish linkage.

List two new traits (structural or behavioral) that each new species of rat might demonstrate as it adapts to the conditions on two of the four islands. choose only two islands that are described in the lesson. record the island latter and the major habitat feature of the island. then list two new traits each rat subspecies might demonstrate in order to survive the habitat on that island. note: new traits should be unique to that island and be in response to that island’s habitat feature. i cannot remember islands that were names in the lesson so only answer if you have done the lesson (5.13 life science 7b) choose 2 of the islands and describe a structural and a behavioral trait for a rat on each island so 4 total answers, 2 different structurals and 2 different behaviorals, one for each rat for each island

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines, and some species have become extinct. scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. however, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. these global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. in switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. when most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that a. the founder effect becomes increasingly important b. microevolution no longer occurs c. gene flow between populations is reduced d. artificial selection becomes a greater factor in microevolution

Based on the law of dominance, we would expect percent of the offspring from this cross to have large teeth.
