    2. The phenotypes I observed in the F1 cross was the reddish eyes that came from the “wild type” father. This is because “wild type” trait is dominant. So the “brown eye” trait does not show in the offspring. In addition, the “wild type” body color from the mother was dominant, so this is what showed in the offspring, instead of the “ebony” coloring from the father.…

    This hands-on laboratory exercise is a highly simplified model that attempts to simulate evolution by means of natural selection. Predators will act as agents of selection on their prey, a species whose members vary in color. We will assume that color is an inherited trait. Small squares of paper will represent the prey, which will be spread out of a piece of printed colored fabric that will serve as the habitat. The predators (you) will prey upon the population, with the surviving members reproducing and passing along the genes for color.…

    There are many critical parts of the eye that help you see. There are many parts of the eye that help you interpret images: the cornea, lens, retina, iris, and optic nerve.

When the eye first take parts at looking at light it goes straight to the cornea and aqueous humor which helps focus the image. Then it will go to the retina which will transmit the light to the optic nerve. From there the light is sent to the brain to…
