Please consider sexual selection operating on red-collared widowbirds assess the lowercase-Roman-numeral-labelled statements that appear immediately below; and click the uppercase-letter-labelled response that is presented below and conveys the most accurate information. i. The specimen depicted at the top in the figure represents the group in which individuals were manipulated experimentally, trimmed so that tail lengths were shortened substantially. ii. The specimen depicted at the bottom in the figure represents the group in which individuals were unmanipulated, left untrimmed. iii. Individuals in the group represented by the specimen at the bottom fared better in condition (measured as body mass relative to length) terms than did individuals in the group represented by the specimen at the top. iv. Individuals in the group represented by the specimen at the bottom spent more time flying and displaying to potential mates than did individuals in the group represented by the specimen at the top. Question 8 options: A) All statements convey accurate information. B) Statements iii and iv convey accurate information. C) Statements ii and iii convey accurate information. D) Statements i and ii convey accurate information. E) Statement i conveys accurate information.
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
