Want to know:
Three-spined stickleback fish show substantial heritable variation in gill-raker length related to differences in their diets. Longer gill rakers appear to function better for capturing open-water prey, while shorter gill rakers function better for capturing shallow-water prey. Which of the following types of selection is most likely to be found in a large lake with a high density of these fish?

- You are studying three Drosophila genes, vg (vestigial wings), b (black body) and pr (purple eyes) which are located on the same chromosome. You perform a three-point testcross between a female vg b pr / vg+ b+ pr+ fly and a male vg b pr / vg b pr fly (note that genes are arbitrarily ordered when representing the genomes of the flies, as prior to the cross, their order is unknown). Out of a total number of 4197 offspring, you obtain 3433 flies with parental combinations for the three genes, 493 flies that are recombinants for vg relative to parental combinations for b and pr, 249 flies that are recombinants for b relative to parental combinations for vg and pr, and 22 flies that are recombinants for pr relative to parental combinations for vg and b. Based on this data, which gene is located between the other two?
- Natural selection uses random genetic changes, it cannot anticipate future needs.
