How is punctuated equilibrium different from gradualism? O Unlike gradualism, punctuated equilibrium involves short periods of rapid change,
Unlike gradualism, punctuated equilibrium occurs among species with smaller body sizes.
Unlike gradualism, punctuated equilibrium occurs immediately after mass extinctions.
• Unlike gradualism, punctuated equilibrity involves a slow, steady pace of change in species.

Coat color in cats is determined by genes at several different loci. at one locus on the x chromosome, one allele (x ) encodes black fur and another allele (xo) encodes orange fur. females can be black (x x ), orange (xoxo), or a mixture of orange and black called tortoiseshell (x xo). males are either black (x y) or orange (xoy). bill has a female tortoiseshell cat named patches. one night, patches escapes from bill\'s house, spends the night out, and mates with a stray male. patches later gives birth to the following kittens: one orange male, one black male, two tortoiseshell females, and one orange female. what are the genotypes of patches, the stray male, and the kittens?

Sexual reproduction in the parent cell will result in offspring with a) identical genetic information. b) half the genetic information. c) double the genetic information. d) four times the genetic information.

Why has two different alleles for the same trait?
