In a population, a gene, Tough, has 2 alleles. "T" confers the dominant phenotype (tough), and individuals with the dominant phenotype produce, on average, 10 offspring. "t" confers the recessive phenotype (brittle), and individuals with the recessive phenotype produce, on average, 100 offspring. Given this:
A. The RELATIVE fitness of individuals with the "Tt" phenotype is higher than that of individuals with the "tt" phenotype.

B. The RELATIVE fitness of individuals with the "TT" phenotype is 10, while the relative fitness of individuals with the "tt" phenotype is 100.

C. The fitness of individuals with the heterozygote's phenotype is lower than that of individuals with the homozygote's phenotype.

D. The fitness of individuals with the "TT" phenotype is 1, while the fitness of individuals with the "tt" phenotype is 0.1.

E. The RELATIVE fitness of individuals with the "Tt" phenotype is 0.1, while the relative fitness of individuals with the "tt" phenotype is 1.
E (The RELATIVE fitness of individuals with the "Tt" phenotype is 0.1, while the relative fitness of individuals with the "tt" phenotype is 1.)

Melissa lives in a town called greendale. she discovers that when she lights a match and holds it near her kitchen faucet, the little flame grows into a larger fire. melissa is surprised because she thought the water would extinguish the flame rather than ignite it further. her mother tells her that the water might be contaminated with dissolved methane, a primary component in natural gas. melissa investigates the matter and finds that cases of methane contamination started shortly after a company began fracking for natural gas in the area. based on this information, which three statements are plausible consequences of fracking in greendale?
