Question 2 In a species of tropical frogs, the wild-type skin colour is grey-green, but a mutation in the Tdstk gene (T1 allele) results in a dominant phenotype of bright yellow skin. T1/T1 embryos do not survive (they fail to hatch) and this condition is considered recessive lethal. What is the genotype of the frogs in the population that are bright yellow? How can this allele (71) contribute to both a dominant phenotype and a recessive phenotype? Explain.

One of the major features noted is the variation in beak depth.

The changes in beak depth over time is a result of… a. natural selection b. gene flow c. sexual selection d. artificial selectionQuestion 1. In total, how many plant populations were established in this experiment? In each of these populations, what was the initial frequency of each plant genotype? Question 2. Did evolution occur in the control populations? If so, what factor or factors may have caused evolution by natural selection in these populations? Explain your answer. Question 3. Did evolution occur in the populations exposed to the generalist herbivore? If so, what factor or factors may have caused evolution by natural selection in these populations? Explain your answer. Question 4. Compare results for the control and generalist herbivore treatments. Why do you think the experiment showed the results that it did?

- Question.2. The black-backed jackal lives in the brushland of Africa, where monogamous pairs defend territories, hunt cooperatively, and share food. Frequently, offspring from the previous year's litter help rear their parents' new pups by regurgitating food for the lactating mother and for her young. It turns out that the number of surviving pups increases an average of 1.5 for every helper, compared to only 0.5 pups surviving when raised by the parents alone. A. The recruitment of previous offspring to help raise new pups is called: B. Why would young jackals forego their own breeding to help their mother raise new pups? Explain your answer in the context of Hamilton's Rule.C. Young jackals that help their parents raise new pups usually have increased reproductive success and/or direct fitness later in life. Provide two potential explanations for this effect.QUESTION 42 Two different populations that have a high degree of gene flow are expected to… a. have similar levels of heterozygosity. b. have an FST close to 1. c. be completely isolated from each other. d. vary in allele frequency from one another.QUESTION 35 You are conducting a QTL analysis to better understand monkey flower color and shape.
