A hypothetical population has two alleles for an "T" gene: T and t. In a random sample of 50 diploid zygotes (for a total of following genotypes were found: 15 TT, 25 Tt, and 10 tt. Let's say that natural selection acts against the t allele in the initial population sampled above, and all 10 individuals with tt genotype die off (leaving 0 tt individuals) and 10 of the individuals with Tt genotype die off (leaving 15 Tt individuals) before reaching maturity.

Entomologists at the New York State Department of Agriculture are interested in determiningthe connection between pest insects infesting crop plants with populations of the same insect-infesting native plants in natural habitats. Long-term trapping and monitoring studies have estimated that on average 3% of the populations move between habitats (farm to natural and vis versa) each generation. A new insecticide resistance allele (∆K) has begun to increase in frequency in agricultural populations. A genotyping survey at this locus of 50 individuals in each population has revealed the following genotype counts:4a. Based on the effects of migration alone, what will the frequency of ∆K be in the forestpopulation in the next generation? 4b. If migration was acting in here without selection, what would the frequency of ΔK be in the agricultural population in the next generation? 4c. If the natural forest population was substantially larger than the agricultural population, how might…
A dominant allele that arises from recurrent mutation is mildly deleterious. The fitness of heterozygotes is 99% of normal. The phenotype appears in about 1 out of every 10,000 newborns. What is the allele frequency? Assuming that there is a mutation/selection balance, estimate the mutation rate. (this is all the information given on the question
You are performing a series of experiments on fruit flies. You have a true breeding population of flies with red eyes, and a true breeding population of white eyes. You breed the population of flies to each other to get an F1 generation. In this F1 generation, 75% of the flies have Red eyes, 25% of the flies have white eyes. All the female flies have red eyes, half of the male flies have white eyes and the other half have red eyes. A statistically significant number of baby flies were produced in this cross. 1) What is that number? 2) What is the genotype ratio of the F1 generation? Give the genotypes.
Imagine a population of 80 horses in which all individuals are homozygous for an allele A1. But then a mutation introduces a new allele, A2, in one horse which is a heterozygote for this locus. Assuming the mutation is neutral, and no further mutation occurs, answer the following questions. Question 16 What is the probability that A2 will eventually become fixed? Question 17 What is the probability that A2 will go extinct?
Polydactyly is an inherited trait that results in extra fingers or toes. In the United States 0.1% of the population exhibits polydactyly. People with polydactyly have the genotype Pp, where P represents the allele that causes polydactyly and p represents the normal allele of this gene. Which of the following is true? O There is not enough information to answer this question O The P allele is more frequent in the US than the p allele The two alleles, P and p are at approximately equal frequencies in the US population O The P allele is less frequent in the US than the p allele
In Africa we find albinism in around 1 in every 5,000 individuals. This is puzzling, because albinism may reduce survival, for instance due to increased risk of skin cancer. What evolutionary mechanism (natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, or gene flow) is a viable explanation for the consistent observation of a few children born with albinism each generation and why?
Assume that gene T is closely linked to gene U. Two different alleles of T exist in the population. Allele t1 confers resistance to severe forms of COVID-19, while allele t2 does not; these alleles do not confer other notable phenotypes. Two different alleles of U exist in the population: u1 and u2, none of which makes any difference in terms of fitness. The makeup of chromosomes in a human population is Genotype Frequency t1 u1 300 t2 u1 300 t1 u2 50 t2 u2 350 What is the frequency of the u2 allele in the population? Write that frequency as a number between 0 and 1 (e.g. 0.5 if the frequency is 50%).
The following table provides phenotypic data for a population of mammoths living in cold environments based on fossil and DNA evidence. Based on this data and your knowledge of natural selection, which explanation best explains the trends seen in the data? Individuals with thicker fur had a survival advantage in the cold environment, allowing these individuals to reproduce more often and create more offspring. Individuals within this population of mammoths tend to only mate with individuals that have thick fur. This population of mammoths appear to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium since no allele frequencies are changing over time. Individuals with thick fur migrated into the population of mammoths, increasing the proportion of these individuals.
The color of the coat of a hypothetical breed of cattle is controlled codominantly by a gene in locus R. A routine inspection of a randomly mating population with 353 animals showed that 13% of them are red , 45% are roan and 42% are white. question: how many animals have the recessive allele?
Considering the Hardy-Weinberg theorem’s assumptions, which of the following statements is NOT correct? (Recall that there are certain assumptions that must be true in order for the Hardy-Weinberg theorem to accurately predict genotype ratios in the next generation.)a) The population must be very large so there random genetic drift will not occur.b) No natural selection can occur.c) Mating must be random.d) Individuals must migrate into and out of the population so that gene flow will occur.e) Mutations must not occur.
According to the Hardy-Weinberg law of equilibrium: Question 1 options: A) In absence of mutation and natural selection, the frequencies of the genotypes will remain stable because no evolutionary change takes place. B) In absence of gene flow, the frequencies of the genotypes will remain stable because no evolutionary change takes place. C) In absence of genetic drift, the frequencies of the genotypes will remain stable because no evolutionary change takes place. D) All of the above. E) None of the above.
There are two different phenotypes of a moth species, black and light grey, which are predated upon by birds. The more recently evolved black colour, is the dominant allele, B, while the recessive allele, b gives a light grey colour. Reduced pollution in the area has turned the trees (where the moths live) lighter. Which moth genotype(s) would be favoured by this change? Select one: O a. DD only O b. Dd only c. dd only O d. DD and Dd O e. DD and dd Of. Dd and dd
