Complete question:

Model 1 – Controlled (Selective) Mating: (Imagen in the attached files, PNG)

4. If each mating pair has one offspring, predict how many of the first generation offspring will have the following genotypes.

BB Bb bb

7. If the population of beetles in Model 1 mated naturally would your prediction for the offspring in Question 4 still be valid? Explain.

Answer:

7) If the population of beetles in model 1 mated naturally, the prediction for the offspring in Question 4 would not be valid. The number of individuals with each genotype in the F1 would change because there would be other possible types of crosses: Bb x bb, Bb x Bb, bb x bb

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files (PDF)
