A farmer is raising rabbits. The average body weight in his population ofrabbits is 3 kg. The farmer selects the 10 largest rabbits in his population,whose average body weight is 4 kg, and interbreeds them. If the narrowsenseheritability of body weight in the rabbit population is 0.7, what is theexpected body weight among the offspring of the selected rabbits?
A scientist is studying a wild population of Japanese morning glories. It is easy to separate genotypes at a flower color locus by their phenotypes. Red individuals are homozygous for the R allele, yellow individuals are homozygous for the Y allele, and orange individuals are heterozygous. If the number of individuals with the following genotypes are: RR: 831 RY: 33 YY: 442 Is the population in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?
A population of self-pollinating pea plants has two genes; T (tall, dominant) and t (short, recessive). Suppose we have an isolated population in which 50% of the genes in the gene pool are dominant T, and the other 50% are recessive t. What percent of the population has each genotype?
Using the HardyWeinberg Law in Human Genetics In a given population, the frequencies of the four phenotypic classes of the ABO blood groups are found to be A = 0.33, B = 0.33, AB = 0.18, and i = 0.16. What is the frequency of the i allele?
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Drawing on your newly acquired understanding of the HardyWeinberg equilibrium law, point out why the following statement is erroneous: Because most of the people in Sweden have blond hair and blue eyes, the genes for blond hair and blue eyes must be dominant in that population.
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? The MN blood group is a single-gene, two-allele system in which each allele is codominant. Why are such codominant alleles ideal for studies of allele frequencies in a population?
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? In a population where the females have the allelic frequencies A = 0.35 and a = 0.65 and the frequencies for males are A = 0.1 and a = 0.9, how many generations will it take to reach HardyWeinberg equilibrium for both the allelic and the genotypic frequencies? Assume random mating and show the allelic and genotypic frequencies for each generation.

Sometimes gene flow between populations can have negative effects, with one population receiving genes of lower fitness from another population. Which of the following below is a good case example of this observation? O Tibetian highland people interbreeding with lowland people producing children of intermediate hemoglobin proteins OInterbreeding of Texas and Florida Panthers have greater survivorship than inbred Florida Panthers O Male Townshend Warblers out compete male Hermt Warblers and mate with female Hermit Warblers O Wild steelhead interbreeding with captive steelhead produced offspring with lower relative fitness
Eye color in a species of fruitfly is determined by a single locus with two alleles: E and e. EE individuals have red eyes, Ee have pink eyes, and ee individuals have brown eyes. In a lab population that is in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, we count 28 flies with brown eyes out of 172. How many flies can you expect to have red eyes? Round your answer to the closest full number.
ocesses/Se are the same se two trees are NOT the same At some point in the past, foxes arrived in the Arctic (far northern latitudes) and we able to establish a population. Now, there is a white population of foxes that lives there. Which of the following was the primary change that occurred gradually over time in the Arctic fox population, eventually resulting in foxes with white fur? O The fur color of each individual fox within the population gradually changed. O The frequencies of foxes with different fur colors within the population changed. O Mutations occurred to meet the need of the fox population in the new environment. O Foxes that survived longest gained white fur in their old age, which they passed on to their offspring, tion 15
