Question

In the fictional hobbit, there exist 5 alleles of the foot size gene:

Fl-F5. Each allele is dominant over an allele with a higher
number. For example F3 is dominant over F4, and Fis
dominant over F5 F5 is recessive to all other Falleles, and
results in a hobbled hobbit. This is usually a lethal phenotype.
How does the Fs allele stay in the gene pool?
a All heterozygous genotypes with an F5 allele are
carriers.
b All F5 homozygous individuals are selected for by
natural selection.
Ć The Fof5 hobbit is selected for by natural
selection.
d all of the above

Answer 1

Answer: All heterozygous genotypes with an F5 allele are carriers.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because all of them carry with each other up to a certain point, where it can level out to one another. Doing this they all are considered carriers. And since F5 is a carrier. This would be the correct answer.
