Analysis
Q: Why are only short-necked tortoises affected by the food shortage.
A: The reason it affects them is because they long necks can eat from the bottom and top were the short necks can’t reach everything so they run out of food.
Q:On each square, write the genotype of the child. How many squares should you have in all?
A:16
Q:How do you know which children have long necks and which have short necks?
A:By the parents genotype and by using a punnett square like a father with nn and a mother with NN would equal 100% Nn brown.
Q: How many of the grandchildren have long necks?
A: 8 tortoise
Q: Is this number more, less, or the same as the number with long necks.
A: There are the same amount of long necks and short necks.
Conclusion
Q: What has happened to the number of long neck tortoises in the area?
A: They have risen because there are less short necks every time.
Q: What has happened to the short neck tortoises in the area?
A: They have shrunk in population because there is less food that they can reach because there short.
Q:What do you think would happen to the species?
A:I think the short necks would die out if everything stayed the same because they could not reach all the food so the long necks would survive.
