Textbook Question
Chapter 51.3, Problem 2CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Balancing selection can maintain variation at a locus (see Concept 23.4). 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.

It has been found that rats with the genotype Ww are more resistant to Warfarin than either WW that have a VitK deficiency or ww that are very susceptible. Given that the relative fitness values are 1 for Ww, 0.37 for WW and 0.19 for ww, predict the allele and genotype frequencies once Hardy Weinberg equilibrium is established for a rat population in a grain elevator where warfarin is used continually. Suggest what might happen if warfarin use was stopped.
> 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.

- In 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. What caused the allele frequencies to change and vary in the trials? (ex attached).arrow_forward12. The fitness for a particular species of bats is determined by a single gene locus with two segregating alleles, (E) and (e), that determines echo-location ability. The dominant allele E causes normal echo-location, whereas the recessive allele e impairs echo-location ability. You are studying a large population and determine initial frequencies of the E and e alleles to be 0.7 (p) and 0.3 (q), respectively. Assume genotypes are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Given the following average offspring numbers, determine the effects of natural selection on the allele frequencies after one generation (what are the new frequencies of p and q?).
