5- crossover misalignment. B-Causes a duplication of a certain portion of chromosome while the other sister chromatid is missing this portion of chromosome. C-Usually results in genetic drift. D- p^2+q^2= 1, or p^2+2pq+q^2=1 E- Change in allele frequency, and it is more observed in small populations.

You are out in Wyoming, catching and marking coyotes You catch 23 coyates and mark them. They are released back into the wild. Two weeks later, you catch 15 coyotes. 10 of them have the mark you put on them. What is your population estimate? What other things, besides population size, might a population ecologist want to learn about his choosen population? How could mark- recapture also tell us about gene flow between populations
The frequency of the recessive allele (r) in a population is equal to 0.70. What percentage of the population is likely to have a homoygous dominant genotype? 9%, 42%, or 49%
A fish biologist goes out and samples (sample 1) a population of salmon. A total of 109 (M) salmon were marked and released. At this time, a proportion of fish in the total population has a mark and we assume that this proportion remains constant. On a second sampling trip (sample 2), the biologist collected 177 (C) salmon and 57 (R) of those were marked from the initial sample. How large is the population?
gene flow makes populations more genetically similar ?True 0r False
A severe fire or flood kills 90% of a population of squirrels in a forest. The remaining squirrels evolve into a population quite distinct from the original. In another forest, a bacterial infection kills 90% of the squirrels in the forest, and the remaining squirrels also evolve into a distinct population. The first instance is considered genetic drift, and the second is natural selection. Explain the difference.
Scenario 2In the year 2015, another group of scientists studied the squirrel coat color and found that the population of squirrels had increased. They found 850 squirrels in the same area, of which 115 had a red coat. Assume that the population is in Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium. 5B. What is the frequency of the recessive allele?(Put your answer here rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Stabillizing selection means... 1. The environment determines which organism will survive. 2. one set of ectremes has a better chance of survival than the other 3. The extreme population have a lesser chance of survival tha the median members 4. The extremes of pupulation have a better chance of survical than the median
