A population of horses in the magic land is having a problem. Individuals are not mating randomly and they are only mating with those that have the same flying speed as their own: Fast (FF), Medium speed (FS), or Slow (SS). You arrive to this magical land and count the following horses of each flying velocity: Fast = 71 Medium speed = 90 Slow = 31 If we consider these results Generation 1, what are the expected number of Medium speed individuals for each genotype in Generation 3 if we have only inbreeding, that is, FF only reproduces with FF; FS only reproduces with FS; and SS only reproduces with SS?

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? 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.

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 22 flies with brown eyes out of 123. How many flies can you expect to have red eyes? Round your answer to the closest integer value.
A species of butterfly shows variation in the length of the antennae. You measure antennae in a butterfly population and find the mean to be 15 mm. You calculate a heritability of antennae length to be 1 (h2 = 1). %3D That summer, there is a severe drought. Many of the butterflies die and only a few survive to reproduce. The surviving butterflies have a mean antennae length of 17 mm. a) What is the predicted mean limb-length of the offspring of the surviving butterflies? [ Select ] b) What type of selection was acting on antennae length in these butterflies? [ Select ] c) Five years later, you go back and measure antennae length in this butterfly population again. Every butterfly in the population has antennae measuring 16 mm. What is the heritability of antennae length in this population now? [Select ]
