Which of the following scenarios shows the founder effect?O Two different species of frogs mate with each other and create a triploid hybrid. This hybrid can produce viable offspring via parthenogenesisOA small group of salamanders moves away from the large population. By chance, this newly established population contains only individualswith the same genetic mutationO Butterflies with a foul taste are left alone by predators, while those without the foul taste are eatenO An avalanche wiped out 90% of a snow hare population, by chance, only the dark brown hares survivedO Cichlid fish in lake Tanganyika were under the influence of different microhabitats and evolved based on the local environmental conditions

Detailed explanation: 1st option is incorrect because the creation of a new species from the mating…

In a population of lizards, color is genetically determined. The current population has two two phenotypes: blue and yellow. Which of the following scenarios could result in evolution by migration? O A disease indiscriminately reduces the population by 90%. Birds are better able to see and therefor prey on blue lizards The population is joined by individuals from a nearby population that has an allele for a red phenotype. Females preferentially mate with individuals exhibiting the blue phenotype.
Different species of crickets have distinct songs, andthey use these songs for mate recognition. Researcherscrossed two species of Hawaiian crickets (Laupala paranigra and L. kohalensis) whose songs are distinguishedby pulse rate (the number of pulses per second; Shaw etal., Molecular Ecology 16, 2007, 2879–2892.) Then, theymapped QTL in the F2 population derived from thiscross. Six autosomal QTL were detected. The mean traitvalues (pulses per second) at the three genotypic classesin the F2 for each QTL are shown in the table below,where P indicates the L. paranigra allele and K indicatesthe L. kohalensis allele.a. Calculate the additive (A) and dominance (D) effectsand the D/A ratio for each of the six QTL.b. Which of these QTL shows the greatest amount ofdominance?c. Which of these has the largest additive effect?d. The mean pulse rate for L. kohalensis is 3.72, and it is0.71 for L. paranigra. Do all six QTL act in the expecteddirection with the L. kohalensis allele conferring a…
Skin colour in dolphins is determined by a single gene showingincomplete dominance giving rise to 3 phenotypes Brown, Pink &White. A survey of a large population of dolphins was carried outand the phenotypes recorded. However a student who had some.of the data stored on their phone fell overboard and unfortunatelythe data was lost. The only data saved was that the brownhomozygous dominants (BB) were 64% of the population.a) What would be the percentage of pink heterozygotes and whitehomozygotes?b) What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the nextgeneration of dolphins in this population will contain the b allele?
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
Fruit flies of the genus Drosophila are distributed worldwide, but 30-40% are found on Hawaiian islands. How can you explain this distribution pattern? I’m addition, most species that have been identified are almost indistinguishable from other species and yet vary few hybrids have ever been observed. How might this phenomenon be explained?

Building on the results from this experiment, scientists decide to test the effect of varying the initial amount of NH3 on monomer formation. They set up the same simulation with the exception of starting with three different
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
Color blindness in humans is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. Ten percent of the males of a large andrandomly mating population are color-blind. A representative group of 1000 people from this population migrates to a South Pacific island, where there are already1000 inhabitants and where 30 percent of the males arecolor-blind. Assuming that Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium applies throughout (in the two original populationsbefore the migration and in the mixed population immediately after the migration), what fraction of malesand females can be expected to be color-blind in the generation immediately after the arrival of the migrants?
Prezygotic is isolating mechanisms: a. reduce the fitness of hybrid offspring. b. generally prevent individuals of different species from producing zygotes. c. are found only in animals. d. are found only in plants. e. are observed only in organisms that reproduce aseually.
