According to the Hardy-Weinberg law of equilibrium:
Question 1 options:

In absence of genetic drift, the frequencies of the genotypes will remain stable because no evolutionary change takes place.
D)
All of the above.
E)
None of the above.
The MN blood group is of interest to population geneticists because (a) people with genotype MN cannot receive blood transfusions from either MM or NN people (b) the MM, MN, and NN genotype frequencies can be observed directly and compared with calculated expected frequencies (c) the M allele is dominant to the N allele (d) people with the MN genotype exhibit frequency-dependent selection (e) people with the MN genotype exhibit heterozygote advantage
Considering the Hardy-Weinberg theorem’s assumptions, which of the following statements is NOT correct? (Recall that there are certain assumptions that must be true in order for the Hardy-Weinberg theorem to accurately predict genotype ratios in the next generation.)a) The population must be very large so there random genetic drift will not occur.b) No natural selection can occur.c) Mating must be random.d) Individuals must migrate into and out of the population so that gene flow will occur.e) Mutations must not occur.

- In a certain population, a previously neutral, homozygous recessive gene (aa) becomes lethal through changed environmental circumstances. The frequency of the recessive allele (q) was 0.5 before the environmental changes. (i) What was the genotype distribution when the recessive genotype was not selected against / selectively neutral? (ii) What will be the allelic frequency after one generation in the altered generation? Assume random mating among the breeding population. (iii) What will be the genotype frequency of the progeny breeding population?arrow_forwardPINE TREE NEEDLES Variation among members of a population can lead to natural selection, but only if two conditions are met: First, the trait must be relevant to an individual's survival and/or reproductive rate. Second, variation in this trait must be heritable, that is, at least partly controlled by genes. a. How might you design an experiment to determine the importance of needle length in determining survival and reproduction? b. How might you test the extent to which needle length is heritable?arrow_forwardA population of mealworm beetles (Tenebrio molitor) called the founder generation-consisting of 150 Black (MM) individuals, 100 Brown (Mm) individuals and 250 Orange (mm) individuals-is established on a remote region of Puerto Rico. Mating within this population occurs at random, the three genotypes are selectively neutral and mutations occur at a negligible rate. (a) What are the frequencies of alleles M and m in the founder generation? Frequency of allele M= Frequency of allele m= (b) Calculate p2, 2pq, q2 and the expected number of MM individuals, Mm individuals, and mm individuals in the population, assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibriumarrow_forward
- The trait that natural selection “selects for” is lifetime Darwinian fitness. If relative matching of the moths to the background is determining fitness differences, is there any difference in other fitness components in the color morphs of Biston betularia that is influencing the direction of evolution in the three populations shown in the graph? Give a reason for your answer.arrow_forwardIf (positive) assortative mating increases in a population, what would expect to happen to genotype frequency over generations? O a) Frequency of the heterozygous genotype will increase. b) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will decrease. O c) Frequency of the homozygous genotypes will increase. O d) There will be no change in genotype frequency.arrow_forward1.) Which statement below is not consistent with a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A.) Genetic drift is occuring. B.) Random mating is occuring. C.) Population size is large. D.) Migration is not occuring. 2.) Sickel cell anemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Because individuals affected by sickle cell anemia have defective hemoglobin proteins, their blood cannot transport oxygen properly. There appears to be a relationship between the incidence of malaria and sickle cell anemia. Individuals with sickle cell anemia are carriers of the sickle cell allele have some resistance to malaria. Malaria is caused by the parasite Plasmodium and is transmitted between humans by mosquitoes.” If scientists are successful in significantly reducing or eliminating malaria, the best prediction for what will happen to the allele for sickel cell anemia in the population is that it will: A.)not be affected by the elimination by malaria. B.) increase as its selective advantage…arrow_forward
