Some nearly extinct species, such as snow leopards, consist of individuals that are very similar genetically. Which of these statements best predicts the chances of the long-term
survival of a species such as the snow leopard?
F The chances of survivai are good because the Individuals that have survived the harsh
effects of natural selection have the "best" genes.
G The chances of survival are good because a homogeneous population can better cope
with an environmental challenge such as a new disease.
H The chances of survival are poor because there can be no differential response to a
challenge such as the survival of Individuals with resistance to a new disease.
The chances of survival are poor because genetically similar animals are unable to
produce fertile offspring when they mate.

Put the following steps of the convection process in the correct order. 1. gravity pulls cooler matter downward. 2. the matter expands and decreases in density. 3. an up-and-down flow of matter produces a convection current. 4. matter is heated. 5. warmed matter is forced upward. question 2 options: a) 4, 2, 5, 1, 3 b) 2, 4, 3, 1, 5 c) 3, 2, 5, 4, 1 d) 1, 4, 2, 5, 3

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
