Hello, I need help answering number 34(INCLUDING THE SUB-PARTS) true or false questions. Pls and thank you! 34. A.) T / F: Both negative frequency-dependent selection and positive frequency-dependent selection act to maintain genetic polymorphism. B.) T / F: The mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous caused the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs. C.) T / F: Natural selection can occur without any evolution in the next generation if individual differences in the trait are not heritable.
Hello, I need help answering 3.a, b, & c questions. Pls and thank you! 3.A) If Hardy-Weinberg conditions apply to a population, then: a.) natural selection is present b.) limited immigration or emigration is present c.) assortive mating is present d.) population size is very large-effectively infinite. B.) A selective sweep happens when: a.) a new mutation increases rapidly toward fixation b.) selectin acts on standing genetic variation c.) no linkage disequilibrium results d.) fitness trade-offs exist C.) Fitness components include all the following except: a.) frequency of new mutations b.) probability of getting a mate c.) survival to adulthood d.) fecundity
A population of birds has two alleles encoding for three different phenotypes: long wings, wingsss, and mid-length wings. . The initial frequency of the Sallele was 0.63 and the sallele was 0.37. However 97% of the long-winged birds survived to reproductive age56% of mid-length birds survived to reproductive age, and only 10% of short-winged birds survived to reproductive age. You are going to determine if natural selection has an effect on the allele frequency What is the expected frequency of the Sallele in the next generation when you incorporate the survival rate? Please use as many decimals points as possible when doing your calculations. Please answer using four decimal points. (Your population can be 100 or 1000 individuals or any numberreally up to you.I work with 1000but that won't change the results because we are talking about frequency.)
1.) Which statement below is not consistent with a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A.) Genetic drift is occuring. B.) Random mating is occuring. C.) Population size is large. D.) Migration is not occuring. 2.) Sickel cell anemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Because individuals affected by sickle cell anemia have defective hemoglobin proteins, their blood cannot transport oxygen properly. There appears to be a relationship between the incidence of malaria and sickle cell anemia. Individuals with sickle cell anemia are carriers of the sickle cell allele have some resistance to malaria. Malaria is caused by the parasite Plasmodium and is transmitted between humans by mosquitoes.” If scientists are successful in significantly reducing or eliminating malaria, the best prediction for what will happen to the allele for sickel cell anemia in the population is that it will: A.)not be affected by the elimination by malaria. B.) increase as its selective advantage…

1. Which parameter from the software you are using in lab this week must you adjust in order to decrease the population size of the organisms in the simulation? 2. Which parameter from the software you are using in lab this week must you adjust in order to change the frequency of the A2 allele in the simulation? 3. If you wanted to simulate a population that experiences no natural selection pressures in AlleleA1, you would:
3. a. Why are most populations not in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium? b. There is an ancient village population of humans. We know very little about this population. How can we use genetics to determine if the societal system of the village was matrilocal or patrilocal? c. There was variation in a rat phenotype (coat color.) The coat colors ranged from dark color coats to light color coats. As the rats migrated into the basements of campus, the light color rats were more likely to be caught by the campus cat. Over time, the basement rat population shifted to entirely dark color coats. This is an example of what kind of selection? d. Explain how a genetic bottleneck could lead to higher susceptibility of a disease, such cancer, in that population.
"Populations can adapt via genetic drift." Please explain in detail why this is false and a misconception. (7-8 sentences)
