A Scientist, John Smith, was conducting research on aphids that can undergo both methods of reproduction. He determined the males in his population had fertilization rate of 1.8 and a relative fitness of outcrossed offspring was 1.1. a) What is the equilibrium frequency of males in this population? b) Is this population stable equilibrium and why?arrow_forwardHow does the soapberry bug differ in Central Florida from the ones found in South Florida?

That is A) B) Without genetic variation, some of the basic mechanisms of evolutionary change cannot operate. There are three primary sources of genetic variation: 1. Mutations II. Gene flow III. Sexual reproduction D) It depends on a chance event that changes the gene pool. It can reduce the genetic differentiation between the two groups. It involves the movement of alleles from one population to another. It includes migration or the movement of individuals between populations. Some mutations always occur from generation to generation. But most mutations do not persist over time in the gene pool. Which mutation is MOST likely to become established and persist in a species?arrow_forward
