1a) In a population of 800 squirrels, the gene for white paws is recessive to the dominant allele which codes for brown paws. There are 200 squirrels that have white paws in the population. How many squirrels in the population are homozygous dominant for this allele? Assume that the population is in H.W. equilibrium for this allele. 1b) In a population of dandelions the frequency of the recessive allele that codes for long petals is .2 (20%). What proportion of the population is homozygous for the recessive allele? Assume the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for this allele.
77)Each graph below shows the frequency of the A allele in six simulated populations (each line in a graph) over 500 generations. Each of the six simulations within a graph were done with the exact same settings of relative fitness among the genotypes and population size BUT these settings differed between the four graphs. Which graph shows a situation in which the effect of selection is the highest relative to the effect of drift? C D A B
The frequency of the dominant allele “A” in an imaginary population is 0.20 (p) and the frequency of the recessive allele “a” in the population is 0.80 (q). What are the PREDICTED/EXPECTED genotype frequencies of all three genotypes (homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive) if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
24. The Hardy-Weinberg equation accurately predicts allele frequencies for a population only if a. there is no migration b. there is no mutation c. there is no natural selection d. the population is large enough that genetic drift is not important e. there is no sexual selection.
61. Which of the following violates the assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg model? The population is infinitely large. Every individual survives and reproduces equally well. The population does not change in size because of an influx of migrants. Sexual selection exists within the population. There are no changes in the chromosomal structures of individuals in the population.
1) In smurfs, blue tails are dominant to red tails. You observe the following distribution in a smurf population: 214 blue tailed individuals genotype BB 37 blue tailed individuals genotype Bb 19 red tailed individuals genotype bb Is this population in HW equilibrium for the blue tail gene? Show your work. If the population is not in HW equilibrium, what might me causing the disequilibrium?
40. Which of the following microevolutionary forces act upon existing variation within a breeding population? gene flow and natural selection natural selection and genetic drift gene flow and mutation genetic drift , gene flow, and mutation natural selection, mutation, genetic drift, and gene flow
1 in 1700 US Caucasian newborns has cystic fibrosis, which is only present in individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype. Assuming the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, what is the allele frequency of the dominant allele in the population.
1. Did both populations (with and without natural selection) conform to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What happened to observed allele frequencies in each population? Only answer question 1 below is an information about the question . Data result of Testing Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium with natural selection Chi-square of results from bean model for F1: a. Total of (obs-exp)2/exp = Chi- square value for F1 = 3.1 The resulting chi-squared value is 3.1. b. For a p-value of 0.05 and 2 degrees of freedom, the critical value is 5.99. Our value of 3.1 is smaller than the critical value (5.99), Thus, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. c. The population is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium, and is not evolving or It does conform to null hypothesis. Chi-square of results from bean model for F2: a. Total of (obs-exp)2/exp = Chi- square value for F2 = 6.5 The resulting chi-squared value is 6.5. b. For a p-value of 0.05 and 2 degrees of freedom, the critical value is 5.99. Our value of…
