Use the editor to formot your answer Question 42 5 Points 0.3- 0.2 01 1.0 HH Hh h RXFP2 in male Soay sheep, horn size is determined by a simple Mendelian gene (RXFP2). Based on the figure above, speöifcaily describe how this trait meets Darwin's criteria for nature selection. What aspect of evolutionary ftness does it offect? What type of seiection does this represent and what should happen to the RKEF2 H/n allees over time? Question 43

Answer 1

Answer: The gene is responsible for the nature of horns produced by sheep. Horns of sheep give advatage to them as well as they are a symbol of maleness. The sheep with bigger and wider horns are more likely to get a mate as they can fight with other males in a batter way. It also gives a sense of security to females.The homozygous (HH) and heterozygous (Hh) have better rates of successful reproduction as comapred to hh-homozygotes.The latter have more chances of survival in a population because of absence/less develped horns as they can look like more feminine.The HH sexual aggressivenses results in lower rates of fittness as compared to Hh or hh types.
