A new fossil of a mammal is discovered from Eocene deposits that is remarkable for its extremely short neck coupled with very long legs. What would you predict for the number of neck vertebrae that would be found in this fossil? - 7 Alleles are most likely to show linkage disequilibrium if they: - occur very close together on the same chromosome An approach to estimating the narrow-sense heritability of a trait - measure the trait in parents and their offspring for comparison Based on the...

Answer> agriculture Genetic drift is the process responsible for: Answer> Losing an existing allele due to random sampling The high incidence of migraine headaches in residents of Norfolk Island (who were moved there from Pitcairn Island) is a result of: Answer> Genetic drift associated with a founder effect set in motion by the events of the Bounty Mutiny Under which conditions is selection most likely to be...
