Short antennae is considered a convergent trait across the several beetle lineages that evolved aquatic lifestyles independently. Researchers propose that short antennae reduce drag during swimming, which explains why this adaptive trait has evolved multiple times, associated with transitions to aquatic lifestyles. However, simply comparing average antennal lengths (relative to body size) across species is not enough to test the hypothesis that this trait is an adaptation to aquatic lifestyles since aquatic beetle species are not independent observations. A) Explain why aquatic beetle species are not independent observations. (2 pts) B) Propose an approach to test the hypothesis that having short antennae is an adaptation to aquatic lifestyles across beetle species.

Punnett squares are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offspring. an incomplete dominance cross is performed between a bird that is homozygous for red feathers and a bird that is homozygous for blue feathers. purple offspring result. then, two of the purple offspring are crossed. according to the punnett square for this cross, how many of the offspring from the second cross will have a feather color that results from incomplete dominance? 1 in 4 2 in 4 3 in 4 4 in 4
