The trait that natural selection “selects for” is lifetime Darwinian fitness. If relative matching of the moths to the background is determining fitness differences, is there any difference in other fitness components in the color morphs of Biston betularia that is influencing the direction of evolution in the three populations shown in the graph?
Suppose that recessive deleterious allele is found to be much less common than its predicted equilibrium frequency, based on the selection coefficient and mutation rate measured in modern populations. Which of the following is the best explanation for this? Note that, when selection or mutation rates change, it may take hundred of generations for population to reach its new equilibrium. A. Selection against the allele was weaker in the past than today B. Mutation rates were higher in the past C. Heterozygote advantage in some environments D. Increases lifespans have made the allele more deleterious now than it was in the Please answer asap and in short and content should not be palgarised please
If gene A/a is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to natural selection such that individuals with the genotype AA have a fitness value of 1.0, heterozygotes have only slightly reduced fitness at 0.9, and individuals with the genotype aa have a fitness value of 0.6, what kind of change in allele frequency would you expect to see over time assuming you start with equal frequencies of the 2 alleles?
If you had measured a set of morphological traits (beak depth, wing length, leg length, tail length, body size) in both the parent and offspring generations, would it be useful to measure any changes in these traits in the parent generation after the drought killed the birds with shallower beaks? Could any such changes measure a correlated response to natural selection on beak depth? Why or why not?
Which statement best summarizes why genetic drift tends to impact small populations more than large populations? A. Small populations have a heterozygote advantage because heterozygotes are more common than homozygotes. B. Small populations have a smaller gene pool, so random changes influence them more. C. Small populations have a relatively large gene pool, so the founder effect stabilizes their alleles.D. Small populations tend to experience directional selection, making one phenotype more common.
What is neutral evolution? A. Neutral evolution does not exist. B. When certain genes are present or absent in populations due to natural selection (they are advantageous or disadvantageous). C. When certain genes are present or absent in populations regardless of selection (they are not advantageous or disadvantageous). D. When certain genes are present or absent in populations due to sexual selection (they are selected for by the opposite sex).
Which type of selection is represented in a population of birds where a wing span of 2ft rather than 1ft or 3ft is more beneficial? Directional Disruptive Stabalizing
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.
You are asked to assess whether a population of endangered salamanders can adapt to warming climate in their preferred habitat. The salamanders vary at a locus that determines adaptation to temperature, and the warming climate creates selection favoring one of two alleles at that locus. Drawing on what you know about natural selection and genetic drift, what information would you need to know about the salamanders to determine whether the allele that improves their adaptation to warmer climates will become fixed in the population? Strictly no plagiarism.
The graph shown here is from a natural selection lab in which students "hunt" for candy in different simulated environments. Examine the graph and answer the questions below it. Approximately how many of each candy species were present in generation 1 (round to the nearest 10)? Which candy species was the least able to hide from the predators in Generation 3? Which candy species had the best survival rate throughout the first four generations of the simulation? Does this data support the hypothesis that Snikers were the most fit for the simulated environment? Please answer yes or no
In which of the following pairs do both evolutionary processes introduce new genetic variation into a population? a. natural selection and genetic drift b. mutation and gene flow c. natural selection and gene flow d. gene flow and genetic drift
How Can We Measure Allele Frequencies in Populations? Explain the connection between changes in population allele frequencies and evolution, and relate this to the observations made by Wallace and Darwin concerning natural selection.
