Suppose that a gene for coat color in mice has two alleles, B and b, where B is completely dominant and encodes a black coat color, and b is recessive and encodes a brown coat color. A mouse that is heterozygous has genotype [response1], and its phenotype is [response2].

Please indicate the closest precursor taxon for the following kingdoms: Plant [response1] Animal [response2] Fungi [response3]

In the plant life cycle, the [response1] zygote undergoes [response2] resulting in a [response3] sporophyte. This sporophyte undergoes [response4] resulting in [response5] spores. These spores undergo [response6] resulting in [response7] gametophytes. These gametophytes undergo [response8] resulting in [response9] gametes. These gametes fuse resulting in [response10] zygotes. And the cycle continues 🙂

For each of the following clades, please indicate if they are diploblastic, triploblastic, or neither diploblastic nor triploblastic.

[response1] describes the evolution of organisms in populations. [response2] describes the evolution of species over long periods of time.
