3. In a plant population you identify and mark newly emerged seedlings in the spring. At the end of the summer, you return to see whether the same individuals have survived to reproduce. You can identify genotypes at a locus affecting leaf color. The numbers of each genotype at the beginning and surviving until the end of che summer are: СС Сс CC Spring 567 444 88 Summer 419 345 72 is the population in Hardy-Weinberg proportions in the spring? Is the population in H-W in the summer at the end of the experiment?

1.) Which statement below is not consistent with a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A.) Genetic drift is occuring. B.) Random mating is occuring. C.) Population size is large. D.) Migration is not occuring. 2.) Sickel cell anemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Because individuals affected by sickle cell anemia have defective hemoglobin proteins, their blood cannot transport oxygen properly. There appears to be a relationship between the incidence of malaria and sickle cell anemia. Individuals with sickle cell anemia are carriers of the sickle cell allele have some resistance to malaria. Malaria is caused by the parasite Plasmodium and is transmitted between humans by mosquitoes.” If scientists are successful in significantly reducing or eliminating malaria, the best prediction for what will happen to the allele for sickel cell anemia in the population is that it will: A.)not be affected by the elimination by malaria. B.) increase as its selective advantage…

If a population of skunks includes some individuals with stripes and others with spots, would you describe the variation as quantitative or qualitative?
A graduate student is studying a population of bluebonnets along aroadside. The plants in this population are genetically variable. Shecounts the seeds produced by each of 100 plants and measures the meanand variance of seed number. The variance is 20. Selecting one plant,the student takes cuttings from it and cultivates them in a greenhouse,eventually producing many genetically identical clones of the sameplant. She then transplants these clones into the roadside population,allows them to grow for one year, and then counts the seeds produced byeach of the cloned plants. The student finds that the variance in seednumber among these cloned plants is 5. From the phenotypic variancesof the genetically variable and the genetically identical plants, shecalculates the broad-sense heritability.
1. A sample of 600 individuals from a population is examined for the presence of the HindIII polymorphism in an autsomal Sca gene. There are two alleles of Sca gene, A and a. The results are 14 individuals are AA, 212 are Aa, 374 are aa. Please answer the following questions accordingly? How many alleles are present in the gene pool in the sample population fort he Sca gene? What are the genotype frequencies? What are the frequencies of A and a alleles? What are the expected numbers of the three genotypes, assuming random
5) A mutant red coat color allele (Yr) arises in island B and is present in the adult population in a heterozygous individual in the population of 117 adults of year 2000. Yr is recessive to the other alleles at the Y locus. What is the probability (p) that, purely by the action of genetic drift, the allele will rise to fixation (reaching a frequency of 1.0) at some time in the future? (A) 0.0 < p < 0.2 (B) 0.2 < p < 0.4 (C) 0.4 < p < 0.6 (D) 0.6 < p < 0.8 (E) 0.8 < p < 1.05 6) For the same genetic scenario, what if the single red allele arose in the island A and was present by 1990 in a heterozygous individual, one of a population 12 individuals. Would this red mutant allele have a better or worse chance of rising to fixation relative to the island B population of problem 5? (A) red allele more likely to reach fixation in A island beginning in 1990 compared to B island beginning in…
2) In a particular island, the environment is semi-arid. There is a lizard population with a lot of variation for color. Normally, the light sandy color and golden colored lizard flourished because they escaped predation, while others were barely surviving. However, in recent years, a lot of rain has brought about a lot of vegetation. Which variation of lizard will now flourish in the area? * A) white B) Brown C) Green D) Red
7) Stabilizing selection favours a.convergent phenotypes b.intermediate phenotypes c.phenotypes at both extremes of a distribution d.phenotypes at one end of a distribution
Walking through the forest, you find a large population of toadstools. From your extensive knowledge of the kingdom fungi, you know that the allele for being spotted (S) is dominant over the allele for being plain (s). In this population of 1007, you find 14 toadstools that are not spotted. What are the allele frequencies? In a different forest, you find a somewhat smaller population of 548. Through genetic testing, you determine that there are 308 homozygous spotted, 206 heterozygous, and 34 homozygous plain toadstools. Is this what you expected? Show your calculations. Use a chi-square test to determine your answer and report the Chi-square test statistic, degrees of freedom and p value.
