Fur color is an inherited trait controlled by one pair of alleles where one form is dominant over the other. the fur color is either brown or gray. two brown animals mate and produce 12 offspring. three (25 percent) of the offspring produced are gray and nine (75 percent) are brown.

based on the above data answer the follow questions

determine which fur color is dominant and which is recessive.

assign letter symbols for the alleles in your answer.

a. by using fur or clothes to trap heat energy near the body

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.
