question 17

Short Answer

Figure 24.3
In Figure 24.3,chart X above shows the frequency of the most common neutral mitochondrial DNA allele (an allele for a gene that does not affect and is not linked to coat color)across six pocket-mouse populations.Populations C,D,and E live on dark volcanic rock;populations A,B,and F live on light-colored granite.Compare this figure with chart Y above.What should you conclude after comparing these two figures?
A)The most common neutral mitochondrial DNA allele is strongly associated with substrate color.
B)The most common neutral mitochondrial DNA allele is strongly associated with the frequency of the Mc1r D allele.
C)The most common neutral mitochondrial DNA allele varies more among populations than the Mc1r D allele.
D)Little to no correlation exists between neutral mitochondrial DNA alleles and habitat color.
