The magnitude of change in allele frequencies that is expected by genetic drift… Incorrect Answer - will depend on if the allele is increasing or decreasing in frequency Correct Answer - will be larger when the starting allele frequencies are equal (i.e. p = .5 and q = .5) Question: Please explain in detail why the correct answer is correct and also please explain in detail why the incoorect answer is not correct.

Hi, I needed help with this question. (Attached) Directions: Heterozygosity – the presence of two, unlike alleles at a single gene in a diploid individual. Observed Heterozygosity (Ho) – the observed number of heterozygotes in a population Expected or Panmictic Heterozygosity (He) – the number of heterozygotes in a population of a given allele frequency composition if we assume Hardy-Weinberg conditions. Inbreeding coefficient (F) – a measure of the heterozygote deficit in a population, where F = (He – Ho)/He
To what does the term "genotype" refer? Group of answer choices how an organism looks the DNA sequence the heterozygous state what's going on in the environment
A researcher examines a locus, or marker, in which there is a particular C/T polymorphism in a population of interest. Let’s call this Locus 1. They obtain the following genotype counts in a sample of the population: CC:42, CT:16, TT:32. a) Calculate the genotype frequencies and the allele frequencies for Locus 1 in the sample.b) Calculate the observed heterozygosity (the frequency of heterozygotes) and the observed homozygosity (the total frequency of all homozygotes) in the sample. Ensure that these two frequencies add up to 1.
Valyrians have alleles for gene A, controlling hair color. The dominant A (silver hair) and the recessive a (brown hair). In a population of 3600 individuals, 2000 have genotype AA, 1000 have genotype Aa, and 600 have genotype aa. 1-What is the frequency of allele A? (Express the answer as a decimal with 3 places, ie .123
After graduation, you and 19 of your closest friends charter a plane to go on a round-the-world tour. Unfortunately, you all crash land safely on a deserted island and you start a new population totally isolated from the rest of the world. Two of your friends are heterozygous for the recessive cystic fibrosis allele (c). Assuming that the frequency of this allele does not change as the population grows, what will be the incidence of cystic fibrosis on your island? In percentage provide summation.
