In a population of beetles carapace color is determined by a single gene with two alleles: Beetles homozygous for one allele have brown bodies; homozygotes of the other allele have green bodies; heterozygotes have green bodies with brown spots. In a sample of 1000 beetles there were 60 brown, 260 green, and 680 green with brown spots. What are the expected phenotype frequencies? O 0.16 brown, 0.36 green, 0.48 green with brown spots. O 0.06 brown, 0.26 green, 0.68 green with brown spots. 0.36 brown, 0.16 green, 0.48 green with brown spots. O 0.16 brown, 0.36 green, 0.24 green with brown spots.

In a population of snails, a locus affecting shell color has 2 alleles. The D allele produces a dark shell, while the d allele produces a white shell. Heterozygote individuals (Dd) have a yellowish shell. In a sample of 150 snails, 47 snails have a white shell, and 12 have a yellow shell. What is the frequency of the D allele? Round your answer to the second decimal place (0.00)
In a population of snails, two alleles, T and t, affect the thickness of the shell, and the degree to which the snails are protected from predation. TT individuals have thick shells, which repel predators, and survive best. Tt individuals have medium shell thickness and survive 88% as well as do TT individuals. tt individuals have thin shells and are easy for predators to eat; they survive only 14% as well as do TT individuals. In a population of gametes at the start of a generation, the frequency of the t allele is 0.23. What is the frequency of the t allele in the gametes that will produce the next generation? 91% 77% 23% 18% cannot calculate with the information given 34%
Butterflies show 3 phenotypes due to incomplete dominance at the D locus with alleles DY and DB giving green phenotype in heterozygotes and yellow and blue in homozygotes. A population of butterflies showed 49% yellow, and 51% blue and green. In another population only 1% of the butterflies are blue. If the butterflies were subject to predation by birds that could easily detect blue & yellow individuals what effect would you expect this to have on the genotype and allele frequencies over time? Indicate possible percentages. ALL WORKING MUST BE SHOWN
The B locus has two alleles B and b with frequencies of0.95 and 0.05, respectively, in a population in the currentgeneration. The genotypic fitnesses at this locus are wB/B= 1.0, wB/ b = 1.0, and wb / b = 0.0a. What will the frequency of the b allele be in twogenerations?b. What will the frequency of the b allele be in twogenerations if the fitnesses were wB/B = 1.0, wB/ b = 0.0,and wb / b = 0.0?c. Explain why there is a difference in the rate ofchange for the frequency of the b allele under parts (a)and (b) of this problem

There is a lack of dominance in black (B) and white (W) horse coat colours. An offspring produced from a black horse and a white horse has a blue-roan coat colour (BW). When the blue-roan coat is closely examined, both black and white hair can be found. In an ideal horse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 10 out of every 150 foals have a white coat. Calculate the frequency of the black horse coat allele in the population. Express your answer using two significant digits.

In a population of locusts, the mean wing length is 47 mm, the selection gradient on wing length is β = 0.12/mm, the phenotypic variance for wing length is P = 3.6 mm2, and the heritability of wing length is h2 = 0.27. In addition, we know that the additive genetic covariance between wing and leg length is 0.60 mm2. What is the expected evolutionary change in mean leg length due to selection on both wings and legs? Repeat these calculations to predict what will happen to wing length as a result of the selection on both wings and legs. What do you predict the average wing and leg lengths will be in the next generation?
