1. iven what we understand about social structure, which type of social structure is generally associated with low levels of sexual dimorphism and high levels of paternal investment among animals in the wild? a. One male b. Monogamy c. Multiple male d. Polyandry e. Solitary 2. Processes such as random genetic drift and founder effect can dramatically transform the genetic structure of a human group within relatively short periods of time because they can significantly reduce the effective breeding population so that the frequencies of certain genes are amplified. a.True b.False

please help with these two questions: 1.Mate choice can influence effective population size. What is the population genetic impact of disassortative mating over several generations? a. increase in coefficient of kinship among subsequent generations b. no effect on population genetics of descendant population c. decrease in population heterogeneity d. increase in population heterogeneity e. increase in inbreeding depression among subsequent generations 2.Within the context of human evolutionary genetics, what is linkage disequilibrium? a. Statement 3. Linkage disequilibrium describes a situation in which some combinations of alleles or genetic markers occur more or less frequently in a population than would be expected from a random formation of haplotypes from alleles based on their frequencies. b. Statement 1, 2, and 3 c. Statement 2. When linkage disequilibrium = 0, then the population is said to be in linkage equilibrium. d. Statement…
please help with these two questions: 1. Mutation, as a genetic evolutionary force is: a. A strong evolutionary force b. A weak evolutionary force c. Not considered an evolutionary force d. The most important evolutionary force in humans e. A neutral evolutionary force 2. In population genetics, we use specific terms to depict particular evolutionary processes. How does genetic drift differ from gene flow? a. Statement 3. Genetic drift is the diﬀerential transmission of alleles into the next generation due to the consequences of functional diﬀerences on an individual’s survival and reproductive success. b. Statements 1 and 2 are correct descriptions of genetic drift and gene flow. c. Statement 4. Gene flow is due to copying errors during DNA replication and transcription, which introduces new alleles into the population. d. Statement 2. Gene ﬂow spreads alleles from one population into another via migration, making them more…

A population of frogs consists of 1000 individuals of which 400 are red. Red is recessive to Green. What is the frequency of the dominant allele and the recessive allele in this population? What is the frequency of individuals with homozygous dominant phenotypes? Please answer and show all work, thank you!! :)

Please help with the following: The United Nations predicts that the human global population is most likely to stabilize at 9 billion within the next 100 years. If the population level remains at this level for the next 10 KY, what would you predict about the strength of selection required to overcome the effects of genetic drift, compared to today’s values? A. It would be the same. B. The future strength of selection would be greater than today’s values. C. Not enough information. D. Today’s strength of selection would be greater than in the future
Please check if my answer is correct. Thank you. Assuming there is random mating, find the gene frequencies, genotypic frequencies, and the proportion of individuals with the different blood types (Type A, B, AB and O) if the population is composed of the following: Type A - 80 Type AB – 35 Type B - 90 Type O - 195
Identical twins (also called monozygotic twins) are derived from a single egg fertilized by a single sperm, creating a zygote that later divides into two. Because identical twins originate from a single zygote, they are genetically identical. Caroline Loat and her colleagues examined nine measures of social, behavioral, and cognitive ability in 1000 pairs of identical male twins and 1000 pairs of identical female twins (C. S. Loat et al. 2004. Twin Research 7:54–61). They found that, for three of the measures (prosocial behavior, peer problems, and verbal ability), the two male twins of a pair tended to be more alike in their scores than were two female twins of a pair. Propose a possible explanation for this observation. What might this observation indicate about the location of genes that influence prosocial behavior, peer problems, and verbal ability?

Dr. I.M. Bright is studying whether digital or real life exhibits at the Greensboro Science Center are preferred by 8-year-old children. Specifically, she will examine whether participants spend more time at the digital animal exhibit or the real animal exhibit. In deciding how to divide children in her sample, she assigns the children who visit in the morning to the digital animal exhibit and the children who visit in the afternoon to the real animal exhibit. She records the amount of active engagement (i.e., time spent) by children at each exhibit. Dr. Bright found that children spent significantly more time in the digital animal exhibit as compared to the real exhibit and therefore concludes that 8-year-olds prefer digital exhibits. (1) Define the term “research confound.” Does Dr. Bright have any research confounds in her study (and if so, list them)? (2) Is Dr. Bright’s conclusion that 8-year-olds prefer digital exhibits valid? Explain with reference to the appropriate…
