Textbook Question
Chapter 19, Problem 11RQ
When closely related individuals mate with each other, or inbreed, the offspring are often not as fit as the offspring of two unrelated individuals. Why?
- Close relatives are genetically incompatible
- The DNA of close relatives reacts negatively in the offspring
- Inbreeding can bring together rare, deleterious mutations that lead to harmful
phenotypes - Inbreeding causes normally silent alleles to be expressed.

There is some evidence that selection on white fur color in cats resulted in unintentional selection on hearing abilities. About 40% of white-furred, blue-eyed cats are also deaf. It turns out the gene responsible for pigmentation here also affects the fluid in the ear canals. This is most consistent with what phenomenon in genetics?
Inbreeding
Linkage
Heritability
Pleiotropy
Organizations that aim to protect the rights of animals have been battling leisure breeders to stop selective breeding because they view it as a form of abuse or cruelty to animals. Selective breeding or artificial selection is a mechanism that has brought a huge impact on the gene frequency of animals especially domesticated ones like dogs and cats. There are cases when breeding animals such as dogs resulted in diseases and malformation or abnormalities in the resulting offspring.
Is s it proper to continue selective breeding? Support your claim and your answer in a bulleted format.

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?

proteins
OInterbreeding of Texas and Florida Panthers have greater survivorship than inbred Florida Panthers

- The reason spontaneous mutations do not have an immediate effect on allele frequencies in a large population is that: a. mutations are random events, and mutations may be eitherbeneficial or harmful. b. mutations usually occur in males and have little effect oneggs. c. many mutations exert their effects after an organism hasstopped reproducing. d. mutations are so rare that mutated alleles are greatlyoutnumbered by nonmutated alleles. e. most mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of aprotein.arrow_forwardPolymorphism of body color is caused by two alleles in a fly. One allele's homozygotes are brown, other homozygotes allele are pale, whereas heterozygotes have orange color. This is the observation made by the experimenters: brown: 100 pale: 100 orange: 50 find the genotype frequncy under hardy-weinberg equil. and then show the calcultaions to find the coefficient of inbredding for this locus.arrow_forwardThe beetle pollinators of a particular plant are attracted to its flowers' bright orange color. The beetles not only pollinate the flowers, but they mate while inside the flowers. A mutant variant of the plant producing red flowers becomes more common with the passage of time. A particular variant of the beetle prefers the red flowers to the orange flowers. Over time, the two beetle variants diverge from each other to the point that interbreeding is no longer possible between them. What kind of speciation has occurred in this example, and what has driven it?

Due to a recent environmental change the two populations are now able to potentially mate again in what is called a hybrid zone. Mating does take place every now and then but the hybrid offspring appear less able to survive. As a consequence, mating rituals start to diverge even further. We call this process of continued divergence? O Fusion O Behavioral isolation Reinforcement O Postzygotic isolation O Stabilityarrow_forward

- The English peppered moth has two main colour variations, white and black. Black soot from pollution helped black moths camouflage and blend in with their surroundings. In the 1950s, the populations of white moths began to increase. What can you conclude? Black moths were forced to adapt and change white to avoid being eaten The white moths developed another mutation that prevented them from finding mates The air pollution killed the birds that ate the moths Air pollution increased Air pollution decreasedarrow_forwardTri-hybrid: Zombie “speed” is a trait determined by the alleles F and f at the speed gene, where fast is dominant to slow. Zombie “brain eating” is a trait determined by the alleles B and b at the brain-eating gene, with eating brains recessive to not eating brains. Zombie drooling is a trait determined by the alleles D and d at the drooling gene where not drooling is recessive to drooling. Cross: A female Zombie that is ffbbDd has offspring with a male Zombie that is FFBbdd. What percentage of the offspring will be fast? What percentage of the offspring will be brain eaters?

Rehpogs live on the ground in a flat, warm habitat. Their fur texture and color ranges from thick purple fur to thin pink fur, depending on allele distribution. The dominant fur allele (R) codes for thick purple fur. The recessive allele (r) codes for thin pink fur. REMEMBER: a phenotype (fur color) is the physical expression of a genotype (two- letter code for the alleles present in that individual). Each individual has two alleles for fur color: $ RR genotype is homozygous dominant = Thick purple fur phenotype Rr genotype is heterozygous = Thick purple fur (because of the presence of one dominant allele) XX genotype is homozygous recessive = Thin pink fur (because of the absence of a dominant allele) For the purposes of this experiment, Rehpogs mate once per year and produce two offspring each year. Rehpogs are monogamous, faithful and fertile. dictions: On Part I A small population of genetically diverse Rehpogs…arrow_forward
