Chapter 39.5, Problem 2CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Balancing selection can maintain variation at a locus (see Concept 21.4). Based on the foraging experiments described in this chapter, devise a simple hypothesis to explain the presence of both forR and forS alleles in natural fly populations.

Explain how natural selection might be responsible for the PTC taster polymorphism.Why might some populations have a higher frequency of the taster allele than others?
> 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.
Ís this population in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? (don't do Chi², just compare your answer in

) Assume that, in a population of deer, two alleles exist for eye color. BB deer have blue eyes,
Bb deer have purple eyes, and bb deer have red eyes. Out of a population of 1000 deer, 490 have blue
eyes. You took notes on the amount of red and purple eyed deer, but your notebook fell in the mud and
those numbers are obscured. However, if the population is in…

- Answer this Hardy-Weinberg Equilebrium Problemarrow_forwardIn this version of the simulation (500 population size; 500 carrying capacity), all fish are equally likely (though not 100% likely) to survive and reproduce. There are no mutations, nor are there any entering or leaving the population. When they reproduce, they choose a mate from the pool at random and produce ten offspring by chance with the probability of the offspring’s genotypes determined by the punnett square.

- VISUAL SKILLS Consider a population in which heterozygotes at a certain locus have an extreme phenotype(such as being larger than homozygotes) that confersa selective advantage. Compare this description to themodels of selection modes shown in Figure 23.13. Doesthis situation represent directional, disruptive, or stabilizing selection?

- Consider the data that are summarised in the figure i. The data in part (a) are consistent with the hypothesis that alarm calling only in female black-tailed prairie dogs evolved in accordance with kin selection. ii. On the basis of the data in part (a), male black-tailed prairie dogs without kin in their home coteries almost are as likely (i.e., within 10%) to produce alarm calls as are female black-tailed prairie dogs with kin in their home coteries.iii. On the basis of the data in the figure, males and females produce alarm calls more often when the kin that they live with are offspring than when the kin that they live with are parents and siblings.iv. On the basis of the data in part (b), alarm calls in black-tailed prairie dogs constitute merely parental care (i.e., rather than altruism).v. On the basis of the data in part (b), mean alarm calling percentage is greater for male black-tailed prairie dogs than for female black-tailed prairie dogs.

- To analyze: Imagine the length of the maize ears which has narrow sense heritability (h²) of 0.70 A population yields ears that have an average length of 28 cm, and a breeder selects a plant harvesting 0.70 cm ears from this population and cross by self-fertilization. Find the expected selection differential (S) and the response to selection (R) for this cross.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.
