Much attention is given to the existence of genetic variation in populations.Why do evolutionary biologists give so much attention to this? Explain mechanisms thatgenerate genetic variation in populations. Explain mechanisms that maintain geneticvariation in populations. Provide examples and data
Evolution is a change in the allele frequencies that occur in an individual over time. True or false?
At least one of the discoverers of this genetic equilibrium (Hardy) developed this HW equation to show that the dominant allele will not always take over the population just because that allele has a dominant effect on the phenotype. What additional factor would have to be present to cause a dominant allele to increase to a frequency of 100%? Why is this factor essential for the dominant allele to “take over” the gene pool?
In the modern reckoning of evolution by natural selection, what is the most important feature that allows an allele to be more represented over time in a population? The allele makes the organisim stronger. The allele allows the organisim to produce more breeding offspring. The allele allows the organisim to eat more readily. The allele allows the organsims to escape predators readily.
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.
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? (Note: Your calculation can assume that genetic drift is not altering allele frequencies in either direction.)
All of the following are causes for evolutionary concern in small populations, EXCEPT: a. Unmasking of deleterious alleles. b. Natural selection can be overwhelmed by drift, and thus cannot counterbalance the effects. c. Random fixation of deleterious alleles is more likely to occur in small populations. d. Homozygosity decreases more rapidly in smaller populations compared to larger populations.
Considering the Hardy-Weinberg theorem’s assumptions, which of the following statements is NOT correct? (Recall that there are certain assumptions that must be true in order for the Hardy-Weinberg theorem to accurately predict genotype ratios in the next generation.)a) The population must be very large so there random genetic drift will not occur.b) No natural selection can occur.c) Mating must be random.d) Individuals must migrate into and out of the population so that gene flow will occur.e) Mutations must not occur.
In a hypothetical population which is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency for a recessive allele is 20%. What percentage of the population would be expected to show the dominant trait in the next generation?
A dominant phenotype you are studying is present in 8.25% of people in a population you are studying. If the population includes 1000 people, how many people are carriers if the population is under Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
It is a common but mistaken belief that because some allele are dominant and others are recessive, the dominants will eventually replace all the recessives in a population. How does the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium refute this notion?
In smurfs, blue tails and red tails are codominant to white tails (this is similar to blood type in humans). In a population of 200 smurfs, 6 have white tails, 93 have blue tails, 51 have red tails, and 50 have purple tails. Papa smurf has learned that the frequency of the blue tail allele is 0.53. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Be sure to do a Chi-square test and show your work.
