J. A. Moore investigated the inheritance of spotting patterns in leopard frogs (J. A. Moore. 1943. Journal of Heredity 34:3-7). The pipiens phenotype had the normal spots that give leopard frogs their name. In contrast, the burns phenotype lacked spots on its back. Moore carried out the following crosses, producing the progeny indicated.

 Parent phenotypes   Progeny phenotypes  burnsi × burnsi 39 burnsi, 6 pipiens  burnsi × pipiens 23 burnsi, 33 pipiens  burnsi × pipiens 196 burnsi, 210 pipiens \begin{array}{cl}\text { Parent phenotypes } & \text { Progeny phenotypes } \\ \text { burnsi } \times \text { burnsi } & 39 \text { burnsi, } 6 \text { pipiens } \\ \text { burnsi } \times \text { pipiens } & 23 \text { burnsi, 33 pipiens } \\ \text { burnsi } \times \text { pipiens } & 196 \text { burnsi, 210 pipiens }\end{array}


a. On the basis of these results, is the burns phenotype most likely inherited as a dominant trait or as a recessive trait?
b. Give the most likely genotypes of the parent in each cross (use BB for the burns allele and B+B_{+}for the pipiens allele).
c. Use a chi-square test to evaluate the fit of the observed numbers of progeny to the number expected on the basis of your proposed genotypes.

What did Darwin observe about finch beaks?

On the Galapagos Islands, Darwin also saw several different types of finch, a different species on each island. He noticed that each finch species had a different type of beak, depending on the food available on its island. The finches that ate large nuts had strong beaks for breaking the nuts open.

What is beaks of finches?

On the Galápagos, finches evolved based on different food sources — long, pointed beaks served well for snatching insects while broad, blunt beaks work best for cracking seeds and nuts.

What does this tell you about the beak of a particular finch species?

Different finch beak shapes are evidence that finch species adapted to different environments over many generations. Different finch beak shapes are evidence that individual birds changed their beaks so that they could feed efficiently.

Why did the beaks of the finches on the Galápagos change over time quizlet?

The finches evolved to have different beak shapes to be able to eat the food available on the different islands.
