Textbook Question
Chapter 21.3, Problem 3CC
WHAT IF? Suppose two plant populations exchange pollen and seeds. In one population, individuals of genotype AA are most common (9,000 AA, 900 A8. 100 88), while the opposite is true in the other population (100 AA, 900 Aa, 9,000 aa). If neither allele has a selective advantage, what will happen over time to the allele and genotype frequencies of these populations?

- 1. You measure the effects of a single allele (A2) on fitness in two populations of the same plant species, Population X and Population Y. Population X lives at higher altitudes. The average excess of fitness of the A2 allele (aA2) in Population X is 1.21, and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0. Population Y lives at a lower altitude. The average excess of fitness of the A2 allele (aA2) in Population Y is -1.68 and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0 a) Which population is likely to experience faster evolution? Why? b) What do you predict will happen to the frequency of the A2 allele (pA2) in population X? c) What do you predict will happen to the frequency of the A2 allele (pA2) in population Y? d) Why do you think the average excess of fitness of the A2 allele is different in these two populations?arrow_forward10 Low altitude population When the researchers 5 grew cuttings from the same plants in a garden at high altitude, the high altitude plants made 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 10 - more stems (19.89 ± 2.26 versus 28.32 +2.54).

- > Within a certain population, there are exactly 2 alleles at the T locus: T and t. Among the entire population, 30% of the alleles are T. If this population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, what proportions (or percentages, however, you want to express it) will be TT, Tt, and tt? Show work. In a population, there are 75 TT individuals, 25 Tt individuals, and 250 tt individuals. What are the frequencies of T and t? Show work. What are the "expected" numbers of each genotype? Show work.

What is p, the frequency of the A2 allele, at equilibrium? Now suppose the population has reached this equilibrium, but that the environment then changes so that the relative fitnesses of A1A1, A1A2, and A2A2 become 1.0, 0.95, and 0.90.
