Calculate selection for the following scenario. In a population of prairie dogs living on a prairie,
prairie dogs with genotype AA have 9 offspring per year on average, those with genotype Aa have 5
offspring per year on average, and those with genotype aa have 8 offspring on average. Round
selection to the nearest hundredth, report selection as a value ranging from "0.00" to "1.00"
• Selection on genotype Aa:
• Selection on genotype AA:
• Selection on genotype aa:
Which genotype has the highest fitness? Fill in the blank with homozygous dominant, heterozygous,
or homozygous recessive
In mice, the waltzing allele (w) that causes the mouse to run in circles due to an inner ear defect is recessive to the non-waltzing allele (W).In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of 150 mice, 50% of the alleles are non-waltzing. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?Record your answer as a whole number percentage.
You are studying gene Q/q in two populations of great white sharks. In one population most individuals have genotype QQ, and in the other population most individuals have the genotype qq.
If there is some migration from each population into the other, how will this affect genotype frequencies?

D is the dominant allele, and encodes the dark - coloured birds; light - coloured mice have the genotype dd. There are initially 60 DD, 60 Dd, and 60 dd birds in a population, and the selection coefficient against light - coloured birds is 0.4.

- You sample a population of blue-bellied lizards in the Mexican desert. You calculate allele frequencies to be 0.42 (A1) and 0.58 (A2). You genotype 1000 individuals, and discover that 130 are homozygous for the A, allele, 290 are homozygous for the A2 allele, and 580 are heterozygous. O No, this population is not in genetic equilibrium because there are more homozygotes and fewer heterozygotes than predicted under Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. O No, this population is not in genetic equilibrium because there are more heterozygotes and fewer homozygotes than predicted under Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Yes, this population is in genetic equilibrium because allele frequencies are not changing. Yes, this population is in genetic equilibrium because the observed genotype frequencies match those that are predicted under Hardy Weinberg equilibrium.arrow_forwardIf all copies of a given locus have the same allele throughout the population, the allele frequency is (a) 0 (b) 0.1 (c) 0.5 (d) 1.0 (e) 10.0arrow_forwardA hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6848 individuals with the blood type AA, 2846 individuals with blood type AB, and 306 individuals with the blood type BB.
