A) If a female spinach plant with flat (FF) green (GG) leaves is crossed (pollination and fertilization occur) with a male spinach plant with crinkly (ff) purple (gg) leaves, what allelles and traits will the offspring inherit? B) This is an example of what type of reproduction?

A) all offspring will inherit Ff and Gg and will have flat and green leaves

B) sexual reproduction

Explanation:

     F     F        

f    Ff    Ff          all offspring will have flat leaves

f    Ff    Ff

     G     G

g   Gg   Gg        all offspring will have green leaves

g   Gg   Gg

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
