Please Answer problem number 2Next, use the Hardy-Weinberg equation (p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1) to calculate the expected frequencies of genotypes CGCG , CGCY , and CYCY for a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. One way to test whether evolution is occurring in a population is to comparethe observed genotype frequencies at a locus with those expected for anon-evolving population based on the Hardy-Weinberg equation. In thisexercise, you'l test whether a pea plant population is evolving at a locuswith two alleles, C and C, that affect chlorophyll production and hence leafcolor.Experimental Set-up:Students planted soybean seeds and then counted the number of seedlingsof each genotype at Day 7 and again at Day 21. Seedlings of eadch genotypecould be distinguished visually because the C and C' show incompletedominance: Cc seedlings have green leaves, CC seedlings havegreen-yellow leaves, and C'C' seedlings have yellow leaves.Number of SeediingsTime (Days)GreenGreen-YellowYellowTotal52113222214922179Interpret the Data1. Use the observed genotype frequencies from Day 7 data to calculatethe frequencies of the C" allele (p) and the C' allele (4). (Rememberthat the frequency of an allele in a gene pool is the number of copiesof that allele divided by the total number of copies of all alleles at thatlocus.)Tatal number of alleles are: 222 x2 = 444The number of C alleles are: CCx 2+ C°C= 52 x 2+ 113= 104 + 113= 217The allelic frequency is calculated at 7th day.The formula for calculating allelic frequency of C° (p) is: Number of A alleles Totalnumber of alleles= 217/444= 0.488-0.49The allelic frequency of C" (4) is 1- C= 1-0.49- 0.512.

Let’s suppose that weight in a species of mammal is polygenic, andeach gene exists as a heavy and light allele. If the allele frequenciesin the population are equal for both types of alleles (i.e., 50%heavy alleles and 50% light alleles), what percentage of individualswill be homozygous for the light alleles in all of the genesaffecting this trait, if the trait was determined by the followingnumber of genes?A. TwoB. ThreeC. Four
Different species of crickets have distinct songs, andthey use these songs for mate recognition. Researcherscrossed two species of Hawaiian crickets (Laupala paranigra and L. kohalensis) whose songs are distinguishedby pulse rate (the number of pulses per second; Shaw etal., Molecular Ecology 16, 2007, 2879–2892.) Then, theymapped QTL in the F2 population derived from thiscross. Six autosomal QTL were detected. The mean traitvalues (pulses per second) at the three genotypic classesin the F2 for each QTL are shown in the table below,where P indicates the L. paranigra allele and K indicatesthe L. kohalensis allele.a. Calculate the additive (A) and dominance (D) effectsand the D/A ratio for each of the six QTL.b. Which of these QTL shows the greatest amount ofdominance?c. Which of these has the largest additive effect?d. The mean pulse rate for L. kohalensis is 3.72, and it is0.71 for L. paranigra. Do all six QTL act in the expecteddirection with the L. kohalensis allele conferring a…
In a certain population of frogs, 120 are green, 60 arebrownish green, and 20 are brown. The allele forbrown is denoted GB, while that for green is GG, andthese two alleles are incompletely dominant.a. What are the genotype frequencies in thepopulation?b. What are the allele frequencies of GBand GG inthis population?c. What are the expected frequencies of the genotypes if the population is at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium?
Inbreeding in a population causes a deviation fromHardy–Weinberg expectations such that there aremore homozygotes than expected. For a locus with arare deleterious allele at a frequency of 0.04, whatwould be the frequency of homozygotes for the deleterious allele in populations with inbreeding coefficientsof F = 0.0 and F = 0.125?
Consider the first copy of an allele for insecticideresistance that arises by mutation in a populationof insects exposed to an insecticide. Is this mutation an adaptation? If, after some generations,we find that most of the population is resistant,is the resistance an adaptation? If we discovergenetic variation for insecticide resistance in apopulation that has had no experience of insecticides, is the variation an adaptation? If an insectpopulation is polymorphic for two alleles, eachof which confers resistance against one of twopesticides that are alternately applied, is thevariation an adaptation? Or is each of the tworesistance traits an adaptation?
Microevolution is defined as a change inallele frequencies in a population over generations. Please explainwhat an allele is, in genetic terms. Name the three major factorsinvolved in allele frequency changes in populations. Describe, indetail, how natural selection works on individuals, while evolutionoccurs in populations. Include a real or hypothetical example ofthe process of natural selection in your answer other thaninsects and insecticide! Identify the specific natural selectionpressure and the specific trait being selected for in yourexample.

Two populations of snakes are separated by a river. The snakescross the river only on rare occasions. The snakes in the two populationslook very similar to each other, except that the members ofthe population on the eastern bank of the river have a yellow spoton the top of their head, whereas the members of the western populationhave an orange spot on the top of their head. Discuss twoexperimental methods that you might use to determine whether thetwo populations are members of the same species or members ofdifferent ones.
A rare disease which is due to a recessive allele (a) that is lethal when homozygous, occurs within a specificpopulation at a frequency of one in a million. How many individuals in a town with a population of 14,000can be expected to carry this allele (i.e. are heterozygous)? Assume that the population is in H-W equilibrium. basic formula p2+2pq+q2=1 and p+q=1 show steps
Which of the following statements describes an example of genetic drift?a. Allele g for fat production increases in a small population because birds with more bodyfat have higher survivorship in a harsh winter.b. Random mutation increases the frequency of allele A in one population but not inanother.c. Allele R reaches a frequency of 1.0 because individuals with genotype rr are sterile.d. Allele m is lost when a virus kills all but a few individuals and just by chance, none ofthe survivors possess allele m.
