Key deer, a subspecies of white-tailed deer, are only found on a few islands in the florida keys. they are tiny deer that weigh 45 to 65 pounds, which is very small compared to the 130- to 300-pound white-tailed deer that are found on the north american mainland. which of the following conditions most likely resulted in the small size of the key deer?
a. human influence caused increases in key deer populations that improved genetic variation.
b. limited food and water resources favored the survival of smaller deer.
c. limited size variations of deer that migrated to the islands resulted in smaller deer.
d. overproduction of offspring on the mainland led to migration of small, less successful deer to the islands.

In sweet pea, gene c is responsible for color production and gene p is responsible for the purple color pigment. both of them are located on two different loci on different chromosomes. the flowers will be purple only when the plant has the genotypes as c_p_. no color will be produced with genotypes: ccpp, ccpp, ccpp, ccpp. thus, gene c controls the expression of gene p. what pattern of inheritance is exhibited here? a. pleiotropy b. epistasis c. multiple alleles
