8. Suppose you are studying a recently discovered population of rock pocket mice with

dark-colored fur that lives on volcanic rock. You take a DNA sample from a member of this new

population and determine the DNA sequence of a gene known to play a role in fur color. The

sequence you get is identical to that of the same gene in another rock pocket mouse population

with dark-colored fur that lives on a different patch of volcanic rock. Whhat could explain this

observation.

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.

Plz ! for many generations farmers in north america have been choosing to cross corn plants with large ears of corn each year this results in the new generation of plants also growing large ears of corn. what is the technique called? a. selective breeding. b. natural selection. c. mitosis. d. asexual budding.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patients have muscles that weaken over time because they have absent or decreased dystrophin, a muscle protein. they rarely live past their twenties. how likely is it for a woman to have this condition? a) women can never have this condition.b) one-fourth of the daughters of an affected man would have this condition.c) one-half of the daughters of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition.d) only if a woman is xxx could she have this condition.
