In a species of wild animal, claw size is determined by a combination of two alleles. Allele Q codes for large claws, while allele q codes for small claws. Individuals with a heterozygous genotype possess claws of medium size. Members of the species depend on their claws to be able to burrow in the ground and find food. But in an area where the ground has always been soft, gradual climate change has caused the dirt to become hard and compact. Which statement best predicts the change that will occur in the affected populations?

Respuesta :

Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:

A. Allele q will decrease in frequency.
Β  B. Allele q will become dominant to allele Q.
Β  C. Allele Q will become dominant to allele q.
Β  D. Allele Q will decrease in frequency.

The answer isΒ  B. Allele q will become dominant to allele Q.

The statement that best predicts the change is :

  • Allele q will become dominant to allele Q ( B )

Dominant Allele

The Allele that will be dominant is Allele q because the ground is soft and the claw size that would be perfect for burrowing through the soil would be the small claws ( Allele q ).

The populations over time will develop allele q as the dominant trait because the dominant allele q will result in the possession of small claws.

Hence we can conclude that the statement that best describes the change is allele q will become dominant to allele Q
