Monozygotic (identical) twins share all of the same DNA, yet have differences in appearance and behavior. Explain why this is, using the following terms correctly in your discussion: genotype, phenotype, multifactorial trait.
The following are three possible combinations of DNAcharacteristics that may be found in an individual’sgenetic profile. Using the product rule, rank each ofthese combinations of DNA characteristics from mostcommon to least common. The number after each characteristic indicates its percentage distribution in thepopulation.a.

The diagram below represents results of agarose gel electrophoresis performed after PCR amplification of a molecular marker in diploid organisms. Answer the following questions: a) How many individuals are homozygous and how many are heterozygous? b) How many alleles are there in this population?
Entomologists at the New York State Department of Agriculture are interested in determiningthe connection between pest insects infesting crop plants with populations of the same insectinfesting native plants in natural habitats. Long term trapping and monitoring studies haveestimated that on average 3% of the populations move between habitats (farm to natural and visversa) each generation. A new insecticide resistance allele (∆K) has begun to increase infrequency in the agricultural populations. A genotyping survey at this locus of 50 individuals ineach population has revealed the following genotype counts: K/K K/∆K ∆K/∆K Agricultural field 32 16 2 Forest 48 2 0 4a. Based on the effects of migration alone, what will the frequency of ∆K be in the forestpopulation in the next generation? 4b. If migration was acting in here without selection, what would the frequency of ΔK be in theagricultural population in the next generation? 4c. If the natural forest population was…
