Transcribed Image Text:6) Is population 3 in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium?
7) Analyze the pattern you see in population 1 and population 3?
Regarding the environment, what is similar between these
populations? Regarding the grasses in these populations, what is
different?
Here is a simple map of the bent grass populations.

from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
9) What evolutionary force is keeping population 2 from being
perfectly adapted to the heavy metal soils?
10) What evolutionary force is keeping population 3 from being
perfectly adapted to the non-heavy metal soils?

Expert Solution

Step 1
We’ll answer the first question since the exact one wasn’t specified. Please submit a new question specifying the one you’d like answered.
Gene is a unit of heredity that is transferred from 1 generation to another, from parents to their offspring. It determined the characteristics of an individual. Each gene has two or more alternative forms that are found in the same place on the chromosome. These forms are known as alleles.
