Q6.6. If gametes from a gene pool combine randomly to make only a small number of zygotes,the allele frequencies among the zygotes may be quite different than they are in the gene pool.Why?The effects of natural selection are more pronounced in small populations.Changes in allele frequencies over many generations are inevitable with sexual reproduction.Alleles combine more randomly with a small number of zygotes.The effects of sampling error are more pronounced with smaller samples.

The ganetes are sex cells in the form of sperms in males and eggs in females. These are haploid…

Q1: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if three of the homozygous black allele mice (having two black alleles) were heterozygous (having one white and one black allele) instead? Q2: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if all of the white mice died and were therefore removed from the population? Would the black-fur-pigment allele frequency be affected? If so, how? Q3: What would the white-fur-pigment allele frequency be if all of the gray mice died and were therefore removed from the population?
List the ways in which evolution can affect population variation and describe how they influence allele frequencies.
1.) What happens to the genotypic frequencies from generation 1 to generation 5? 2.) What process is occurring when there is a change in genotypic frequencies over a long period of time? 3.) What would happen if it were more advantageous to be heterozygous (Ff)? Would there still be homozygous fish? Explain. 4.) What happens to the recessive genes over successive generations? Explain. 5.) Why doesn't the recessive gene disappear from the population?
1. In a population where the frequency of white flowers was 16%, what % of the individuals would you expect to be heterozygous? 2. In a population where the frequency of white flowers was 16%, what % of the individuals would you expect to be homozygous dominant?
Need help with 1 and 2: 1.) While studying a population of finches, a researcher notices that the change in population size for the finches after one year is negative. To explain this, the researcher makes a few statements. Which of the following statements about the above population is correct ? A.) The natality rate would have been higher than the mortality rate B.) The rate of immigration would have been higher than the rate of emigration C.) The sum of births and immigration would have been greater than the sum of deaths and emigration . D.) The sum of deaths and emigration would have been greater than the sum of births and immigration 2.) A population of beetles is introduced into an environment where conditions are ideal allowing the beetle population to reach its biotic potential for many generations. This population of beetles shows? A.) logistic growth B.) linear growth C.) per capita growth D.) exponential growth
B.1. Let us assume that thick and short ovipositors are dominant to long and thin ovipositors. In a population of 2000 wasps, 16% of the population now have long and thin ovipositors. What is the frequency of individuals in the population that are heterozygous for this trait?
Q- After placing fruit-fly traps that humanely kill fruit flies around the building, the population of fruit flies has been reduced to 100. Of these fruit flies, 36 have red eyes. (a) What is the new allele frequency for red eye colour? Express your answer as a number between 0 and 1. (b) Describe the evolutionary mechanism that caused the change in allele frequency
37. When 2 different species are competing for a resource, in the absence of other factors, one will usually win because the competition is asymmetrical. That is because: One species usually cheats. Populations have different numbers of individuals. Different species have different morphologies (how they look) and physiologies (how they function). All of the choices are true.
Which of the following populations is not in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium? a population with 12 homozygous recessive individuals (yy), 8 homozygous dominant individuals (YY), and 4 heterozygous individuals (Yy) a population in which the allele frequencies do not change over time p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 a population undergoing natural selection
12. Which can bring new traits to a population and why? 1. natural selection - because it increases the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time 2. natural selection and mutation because both increase the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time 3. mutation - because it increases the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time 4. natural selection and mutation because both make new alleles 5. natural selection - because it makes new alleles 6. mutation - because it makes new alleles
24. The Hardy-Weinberg equation accurately predicts allele frequencies for a population only if a. there is no migration b. there is no mutation c. there is no natural selection d. the population is large enough that genetic drift is not important e. there is no sexual selection.
