Suppose a population has two alleles at a particular locus, and individuals with different diploid genotypes at this locus havedifferent probabilities of survival and expected offspring, as given in the table below:GenotypePercent surviving to adulthoodExpected offspringGG90%11Gg80%15g850%28Calculate the absolute fitness, W, for each genotype, and then the relative fitness, w, using the smallest absolute fitness valueas your reference.Assume that the selection differential s is equal to the difference between the relative fitness values for the heterozygote (Gg)genotype and the genotype with the lowest fitness. (That is, s WG Wiowest ) If there are 410 individuals who arehomozygous for the G allele in a population of 1,177, and we ignore the effect of genetic drift, how much should thefrequency of the G allele change over one generation of natural selection?Note that this asking for an overall size of change - you should report a value greater than 0. Compute your answer up tofour decimal places.

Of the males who survive to reproduce, let's say that males with the Ho+Ho+ and Ho+Hop genotype have on average 2.5 offspring, while HopHop males have on average 1 offspring. Taking into account both survival and reproduction, how many offspring do you expect each of the three male genotypes to contribute to the total population in the next generation?

In a population of 199 individuals, a locus has two alleles: E and e. If 33 individuals have the ee genotype, and the locus is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the EE genotype? Round your answer to the second decimal place. Your Answer:
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

The mean and standard deviation of plant height from two rice plants (P1 and P2) and their progeny (F1 and F2) and a backcross generation (P1 x F1) are shown below. Complete the table by calculating the variances and coefficient of variation for each population and answer the questionswhich follow (See image) 1. Explain the possible reasons for the observed differences in the sample means. Account forthe differences in the sample means of P1 and P2. Similarly, account for the differences in thesample means of the F1 and F2. Compare the difference in the parental generations with thatin the filial generations.2. Interpret the CV values from each population.3. Compare the sample variances of P1 and P2. Account for any differences.

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%).
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, 24 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.
