What affect will inbreeding tend to have on genotypic frequencies in a population? a) It will increase the frequency of genotypes that produce a dominant phenotype. b) It will decrease the frequency of genotypes that produce a dominant phenotype. c) It will increase the frequency of homozygous genotypes. d) It will increase the frequency of heterozygous genotypes.
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Explain the connection between changes in population allele frequencies and evolution, and relate this to the observations made by Wallace and Darwin concerning natural selection.
You sample a population of 189 mule deer for ear length alleles and find that 32% have AA, 42% have AB, and 26% have BB. If the HWE expected frequencies are AA=28%, AB=50%, and BB=22%, is this locus in HWE?
If you measured the allele frequencies of a gene and found large differences from those predicted by the Hardy–Weinberg principle, would that prove that natural selection is occurring in the population you are studying? Review the conditions that lead to an equilibrium population, and explain your answer.
10,000 individuals are sampled from a population and are found to display one of three blood types: AA with 6800 individuals, AB with 2800 individuals and type BB with 400 individuals. a) What is the frequency of each genotype in the population? b) What is the frequency of the A allele? c) What is the frequency of the B allele? d) If the next generation contains 25,000 individuals, how many would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium?
In a population, the frequencies of two alleles are B = 0.67 and b = 0.33. The genotype frequencies are BB = 0.50, Bb = 0.37, and bb = 0.13. Do these numbers suggest inbreeding? Explain why or why not.
Does inbreeding affect allele frequencies? Why or why not? How does it affect genotype frequencies? With regard to rare recessive diseases, what are the consequences of inbreeding in human populations?
What is the answer to this problem? I said the answer was "Homo sapiens populations interbred with the Denisovans before leaving Africa." and this was marked wrong.
Which statement best summarizes why genetic drift tends to impact small populations more than large populations? A. Small populations have a heterozygote advantage because heterozygotes are more common than homozygotes. B. Small populations have a smaller gene pool, so random changes influence them more. C. Small populations have a relatively large gene pool, so the founder effect stabilizes their alleles.D. Small populations tend to experience directional selection, making one phenotype more common.
A researcher is studying two fly populations. Population A have stubbly bristles that are shorter and blunter than population B and are ebony coloured with black bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a certain allele for the stubble gene which affects bristle length and homozygous for the ebony gene which affects body colour. Population B have longer tapered bristles than population A and are not stubbly in appearance. They are not ebony and have brown bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a different gene that affects bristle length to population A and are homozygous for the gene that affects body colour. Table 1: F1 ebony flies - 0 F1 non-ebony flies - 560 F1 stubble flies - 560 F1 non-stubble flies - 0 Draw two separate Punnett Squares to illustrate the P1 cross - one for the stubbly alleles and one for the ebony alleles showing the individual gametes of each parent and the combination in the resulting F1 offspring.
If you observe a selection coefficient of 0.025 against recessive homozygotes, what is the relative fitness of these recessive homozygotes? (please give your answer to three decimal places)
