1) In cats, the allele for white fur(W) is completely dominant and will result in cats with all white fur in both the homozygous dominant and heterozygous cases. Suppose you look at 50 cats and notice that none of them are completely white. What's the allele frequency for the white fur allele in this population? 2) In carnations, the allele that makes red pigment (R) in flowers is incompletely dominant. Flowers that are red are homozygous dominant and those are pink are heterozygous. White flowers (r) are the result of the recessive allele. Suppose you look at a field of 100 carnations and notice 42 of the plants produce red flowers, 42 have pink flowers, and 16 produce white flowers. What's the allele frequency for both the red (R) and white (r) alleles?
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 homozygote 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.
Flower color in pea plants exhibits two distinct phenotypes: a purple color, exhibited by WW and Ww phenotypes; and a white color, exhibited by ww phenotypes. In a population of 100 plants, use observe that 80 exhibit the purple phenotype. What are the allele frequencies of Wand w? frequency of W = 0.55 and frequency of w= 0.45 %3! frequency of W = 0.89 and frequency of w = 0.11 frequency of W = 0.8 and frequency of w= 0.2 there is not enough information to solve this problem

magine we are selecting porcupines to make them pricklier. The narrow-sense heritability of prickliness is 0.7. Average prickliness in the population before selection is 100 Pu (prickly-units). We have identified two very prickly porcupines to be the founding individuals for the next generation. The prickliness of the mother is 112 Pu and the prickliness of the father is 108 Pu. What will the prickliness of their offspring be? _____ Pu
After completing your pre-class assignments, you should be able to: Recognize how mutation and recombination are the two sources of genetic variation. Determine allelic variation by evaluating results shown on a gel. Define the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Discuss how the frequencies of alleles dictate the frequencies of genotypes in a population. List the five assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium. Differentiate between disruptive, directional, and stabilizing selection.

What describes the phenotypic plasticity of an organism best? O the degree of which individuals can change over time by altering their genotype O the effect of variable environment on the genotype of an organism O the variation of the target phenotype for a given genotype in different environments O the change of a phenotype due to ingestion of detrimental plastic material (as for instance plastic straws by sea turtles). O the degree of which a given genotype is adapted to a particular environment
