Let’s assume the phenotype SMART (high I.Q.) is expressed in homozygous recessive individuals only. In the pedigree below, filled-in (black) symbols represent smart people; empty (white) symbols represent non-smart people. Use the letters A and a to represent the two alleles. What is Max’s genotype?

As a result, genes associated with those adaptive traits will tend to become more common in future generations, at the expense of less well-adapted genes. This genetic change is called________________________.

The exponential growth phase of a bacterial culture is shown on the graph below. Line A shows the growth of a facultative anaerobe being grown in the presence of oxygen and in minimal media. Choose the line that would best predict the growth of the organism in the presence of oxygen in complex, rich media.
