[Question 27] Helping kin raise offspring is one way individuals can increase their inclusive fitness. Imagine there is a family of birds. If any male individual breeds alone, they will have four offspring. If a beta (B) male helps an alpha (A) male, then beta will only have two offspring. If an alpha is helped by a beta, then alpha will have seven offspring. Please note that each generation alpha mating with the same female. Generation 1 Generation 2 Generation 3 A A A в В В At which generation does it no longer benefit beta to help alpha? a. Generation 1 b. Generation 2 c. Generation 3

Part 1 - With use of Punnett diagrams discuss how the results of experiments carried out by Austrian monk Gregor Mendel on pea plants brought about the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent assortment. Part 2 - In humans, the gene that produces the disease Sickle Cell Anaemia is recessive to the gene for healthy haemoglobin production. a) How can two phenotypically healthy parents have a child who suffers from Sickle cell Anaemia? In your answer use suitable letters to show the genotypes of the parents and construct a Punnett diagram to show all the possibilities of the children's genotypes. b) Based on the outcome of your Punnett diagram, state and explain the probability of a child being a sufferer of Sickle Cell Anaemia and the probability of a child not suffering from the disease. c) If an individual who suffers from Sickle cell disease has a child with someone who is healthy (and not carrying the sickle cell gene), what is the probability that…
QUESTION 11 You are examining a new population that has recently migrated to and colonized a new island. Which of the following characteristics would you expect to see in your population? a. The new population will likely experience genetic drift related issues related to the founder effect. b. The new population will suffer more the effects of mutation because this is a bottleneck event. c. The new population will have high levels of heterozygosity and allelic richness. d. The new population will most likely have the same allele frequencies as the original population.
This is a modified question from the textbook, Campbell Biology in Focus (3rd edition), question #5 on page 256. A man with normal vision marries a woman with normal vision whose father was red-green color-blind (a recessive, sex-linked condition). Assuming that the woman's mother had normal vision and did not carry the recessive gene, what is the probability that the married couple will have a color-blind daughter? That their first son will be color-blind? That their second son will be color-blind? Include Punnett square for each question in your answer. You may find the below diagram helpful (the orange square means the individual has the phenotype of color-blindness, while the beige means the individual is a carrier of the mutated color-blind gene where XN and Xn represent dominant and recessive allele, respectively).
