Give a little background, assumption/hypothesis, data collection and data analysis and form conclusion: How do natural disasters affects the genetic structure of a population? (genetic drift)
Under genetic drift, if an allele’s frequency is 1%, what is the likelihood that it will be lost from the population? part B; Construct a graph that describes the likelihood of fixation of a particular allele, for a small population that is under Wright-Fisher genetic drift. Don’t forget to label axes completely.
population of 600 scorpions was split into four populations when irrigation canals were built through their habitat. The four new populations were called the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western populations. Each new population consisted of about 150 individuals. The four populations continued to evolve, and no migration occurred among populations. One hundred generations later, each population still has about 150 individuals, and a biologist investigates them. Consider what a biologist expect to see in the four populations after 100 generations if the environment did not change for any of the populations. Would the biologist agree or disagree with the following statements? question 1 agree or disagree Differences among the four populations probably occurred when populations adapted to specific environments, because most evolution results in adaptation. question 2 agree or not Each population would probably have the same number of alleles—that is, versions of genes—than it…

Imagine a population of pea plants growing in Petaluma. 50% of the gene pool is P alleles, for purple flowers and 50% is p alleles, for white flowers. How can the frequency of the alleles change in this population over generations? Select all the correct answers. Group of answer choices genetic drift natural selection mutation gene flow
The founder effect is a type of (genetic drift / gene ﬂow) in which individuals in one small group of a large population (establish a new distant population / are the only survivors) and then reproduce.
