Recall that the Hardy-Weinberg model makes the following assumptions:
No mutations
Extremely large population
No gene flow
No selection
You score flower colour in a very large natural population where flower colour is a co-dominant trait where white and red are homozygotes (CWCW and CRCR) and pink are heterozygotes (CWCR). Taking your observed phenotypes and genotypes, you apply the Hardy-Weinberg principle and find an excess of homozygous individuals (that is, individuals with either white or red flowers).
Give two plausible explanations for this excess of homozygotes in the natural population.
For these experiment assume allele A = red, allele a = white . There are three flower colors
(phenotypes and genotypes) for this species where AA=red, Aa = pink, aa = white.
• A population of Four O-Clocks is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and no evolutionary forces are
acting on the population. Bees are introduced into the population. Individual bees only visit a
single color of flower so that red flowers only mate with red flowers, pink with pink, and white
with white.
What will happen to the allele frequency in the next generation?
O The frequency of the a allele will increase
O The frequency of the A allele will increase
O The allele frequencies will stay the same.

- Why is mutation important to evolution if it is the microevolutionary force that generally has the smallest effect on allele frequencies?arrow_forwardFor these experiment assume allele A = red, allele a = white . There are three flower colors (phenotypes and genotypes) for this species where AA=red, Aa = pink, aa = white. • A population of Four O-Clocks is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and no evolutionary forces are acting on the population. Bees are introduced into the population. Individual bees only visit a single color of flower so that red flowers only mate with red flowers, pink with pink, and white with white. Assume you start out with a population where the frequency of the A allele is 0.2 and the population is initially in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. What would the frequency of the Aa genotype be in the the next generation where positive assortative mating is 100% (i.e. there is no random mating)?arrow_forwardFor these experiment assume allele A = red, allele a = white .

Bees are introduced into the population. Individual bees only visit a single color of flower so that red flowers only mate with red flowers, pink with pink, and white with white. The simulator we have been using doesn't have "positive assortative mating" as an option, but if it did (in addition to the other parameters) which parameters should be changed to model this problem?

- Posted a picture of my questionarrow_forwardAnswer this Hardy-Weinberg Equilebrium Problemarrow_forward. In pea plants, height is controlled by a Dominant Allele (T) for Tall Height and by a Recessive Allele (t) for Short Height. If 96% of a population of pea plants have the tall phenotype, calculate the frequencies of dominant allele (T) & recessive (t) alleles. Out of the 96%, what is the estimation of how many are homozygous dominant vs. heterozygous? What is the frequency of the recessive phenotype?arrow_forward
- Please answer fast Which of the following are true about the logic we use to identify alleles under positive selection at a given locus? Question 3 options: Alleles under positive selection should occur at relatively high frequency. An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of genetic drift is likely to be a "young allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently. An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of positive selection is likely to be an "old allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently. "Old alleles" are likely to be in linkage disequilibrium with nearby loci. "Young alleles" are likely to be in linkage equilibrium with nearby loci. Consider what we now know about the tree of life. Which of the following statements are true? Question 8 options: Archaea is paraphyletic. Archaea and bacteria together form a monophyletic clade.
