If gene A/a is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to natural selection such that individuals with the genotype AA have a fitness value of 1.0, heterozygotes have only slightly reduced fitness at 0.9, and individuals with the genotype aa have a fitness value of 0.6, what kind of change in allele frequency would you expect to see over time assuming you start with equal frequencies of the 2 alleles?
Which of the following statements about evolution by genetic drift is correct? -The many neutral alleles currently in the population will eventually go extinct except for one. -In general, dominant alleles will persist longer in the population. -Recessive alleles tend to disappear from the population sooner. -The rates of evolution by genetic drift usually do not change much with different population sizes. -All of the above
If a population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, where the dominant allele frequency is 0.2. Which of the following is true about the recessive allele frequency? Select the formula that you would use to find it. q = 1- 2pq q = p/2 q=1-p q = 0.05 then tell us if the statement "Populations in nature are ALWAYS in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium" is TRUE or FALSE
Which of the following populations is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a. A population with 23 homozygous recessive individuals (yy), 7 homozygous dominant individuals (YY), and 4 heterozygous individuals (Yy) b. A population that receives new individuals from a normally distant population. c. q + p = 1 d. A population in which the allele frequencies do not change over time
A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6848 individuals with the blood type AA, 2846 individuals with blood type AB, and 306 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele? If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how many individuals would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
A recessive lethal allele has achieved a frequency of 0.22 due to genetic drift in a very small population. Based on natural selection, how would you expect the allele frequencies to change in the next three generations? Now: Your calculation can assume that genetic drift is not altering allele frequencies in either direction.
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the next, as long as specific conditions are met. Choose Yes or No for the conditions that must be met from the providied statement below. 1. Mutations are exponentially occuring 2. All member of the population breed 3. Everyone produces the same number of offspring 4. The population is infinitely large 5. There is no migration in or out of the population 6. No net mutations are occuring 7. Natural selection of beneficial traits is occuring 8. Natural selection is not occuring 9. All mating is completely random 10. Offspring are able to migrate out of the population
if a population of jumping spiders consists of 40 females and 40 males, what is the effective population size? Give the appropriate equation and show your work. Will genetic drift be an important evolutionary force in this population? Why or why not? If your answer is "yes", what does genetic drift do to allele frequencies? If your answer is "no", name two forces other than genetic drift that might be important in determining allele frequencies. asap
Five conditions are required to maintain the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in a population. Closed population Large population Random mating No net mutations No natural selection If any of these conditions is not being met, the allele frequencies in the population will change, leading to microevolution in the population.Match each of the following scenarios to the Hardy–Weinberg condition that is NOT being met:An increase in antibiotic resistance among bacteria exposed to antibiotics occurs. AnswerCaribou from one herd move to a new area and breed with caribou of a completely different herd. Answer Among eastern bluebirds, more brightly coloured males breed with more brightly coloured females. AnswerDue to overhunting, there is little genetic diversity in the current population of bearded vultures, which have all descended from a population of only 36 birds. Answer
A recessive deadly allele is currently at a frequency of 0.20 in a randomly mating population. What is the expected frequency of this allele after one generation of natural selection? At the equilibrium?
