Please answer fast In a population of rats on an island, fur color is determined by one allele where the dominant allele is dark brown (B) and the recessive allele is white (b). A. What at the genotype frequencies if the allele frequency is B = 0.56, b = 0.44? B. In the same population of rats, a mutation on the allele controlling fur color changes brown to white fur. What would the genotype frequencies be after 1 generation if the mutation rate (u) = 0.03?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Imagine a recessive autosomal genetic disorder that causes death before sexual maturity. Which of the following best helps explain why such alleles persist in populations for long periods of time? Group of answer choices A. This allele is not heritable. B. Some individuals with the allele have the same fitness as individuals without the allele. C. Because they die before sexual maturity, there is no heritable variation in this population. D. The mutation rate of this gene probably is very high, creating this recessive allele every generation
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A population of snails has a deleterious mutation (m) with a mutation rate of 0.01. Heterozygotes with this mutation will show the deleterious phenotype and have a selection coefficient of 0.4. If allele frequencies in the population are M = 0.99 and m = 0.01, will the number of mutant alleles in the next generation increase/decrease/remain the same?
Answer. a.b.c.d In an attempt to re-establish a population of wild sheep on an island off the West coast of Scotland, researchers transport 1000 sheep to the island. Unbeknownst to the researchers, many of these sheep carry a recessive allele (a) that makes them susceptible to respiratory illness that is present on the island. Imagine that starting allele frequencies in the population are A=0.6 and a=0.4, and the fitness values for the three possible genotypes are: WAA: 1.0 WAa: 0.7 Waa: 0.3 a) What is the starting mean fitness of the population? b) Calculate the expected allele frequencies of A and a after one generation of directional selection. c) What is the new mean fitness of the population after one generation of directional selection? d) What is the significance of this change in mean fitness?

Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Which of the following statements is false? Question 5 options: A) When insect populations are attacked with pesticides, the populations increase their mutation rates so that they can develop pesticide-resistant alleles. B) Small populations have smaller gene pools than larger populations. C) The fittest members of a population leave more offspring than less-fit individuals. D) Natural selection is responsible for most adaptive changes in populations
Please answer both with explanation . Part A. Compared with other factors that can alter allele frequencies, mutation rates. a. are low, but mutations are the source of genetic variability. b. are so low that they make no difference in nature. c. are less important than genetic drift, but more important than migration. d. are the most significant factor in microevolution. e. are so low that they cannot be detected in most populations. Part B. If a gene is described as polymorphic, how many alleles does it have? a. one . b. two . c. two or more. d . more than three . e. none of the above .
Give written answer with explanation and conclusion A population of rabbits may be brown (the dominant phenotype) or white (the recessive phenotype). Brown rabbits have the genotype BB or Bb. White rabbits have the genotype bb. The frequency of the BB genotype is 0.35. Assuming that this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the B and b allele respectively?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion It is often said that “an allele that results in fitness losses for both actor and recipient would quickly be eliminated by natural selection”. Explain.

Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion 1. A common misconception about evolution is that it always leads to organisms getting "better" in some way. a) What is one kind of evolutionary process that consistently causes average individual fitness to increase? b) Discuss three evolutionary processes that can lead to mean individual fitness going down.
SUBJECT GENETICS Topic: Population Genetics Say something about HARDY-WEINBERG Principle pertaining to population genetics. If both allele and genotypic frequencies NOT remain constant from generation to the next generation, some assumptions are NOT being met, what could be expected for such changes to occur? Give examples.
Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion Identify the role of natural selection in the evolution of skin color. What role does folate and vitamin D have? How do they differ? How can someone maximize folate and vitamin D levels? Does natural selection still relate to skin color in human populations? If so, how would you expect human skin color to change in human populations in the future?
