It is the year 1998, and the men and women sailors (inequal numbers) on the American ship the MedischolBounty have mutinied in the South Pacific and settledon the island of Bali Hai, where they have come intocontact with the local Polynesian population. Of the400 sailors that come ashore on the island, 324 haveMM blood type, 4 have the NN blood type, and 72 havethe MN blood type. Already on the island are 600Polynesians between the ages of 19 and 23. In thePolynesian population, the allele frequency of the Mallele is 0.06, and the allele frequency of the N allele is 0.94. No other people come to the island over thenext 10 years.a. What is the allele frequency of the N allele in thesailor population that mutinied?b. It is the year 2008, and 1000 children have beenborn on the island of Bali Hai. If the mixed population of 1000 young people on the island in 1998mated randomly and the different blood groupphenotypes had no effect on viability, how manyof the 1000 children would you expect…

13) Lake Malawi in Africa is home to about 200 species of allopatrically speciated cichlid fish. However, recent development around the lake is reducing the visabiliy in the lake, and as a result recently diverged species are merging back together. Why? A) Because the geneflow between species has been reduced due to the reduction in visability B) Because those species have not evolved a second reproductive isolation mechanism in addition to sexual selection C) Because the open water habitat is no longer as habitable, so the open water species are now using the bottom habitat D) Because the bottom habitat is no longer habitable, so the bottom habitat species are not using the open water habitat, leading to more hybridization

Q5.9. A person who is heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis allele moves to a small, isolated community where no one previously carried the allele. If the cystic fibrosis allele protects against tuberculosis the same way the sickle cell allele protects against malaria, what should happen to the frequency of the cystic fibrosis allele in the community over time, and why?

Discuss Concepts Many city-dwellers have noted that the density of cockroaches in apartment kitchens appears to vary with the habits of the occupants: people who wrap food carefully and clean their kitchen frequently tend to have fewer arthropod roommates than those who leave food on kitchen counters and clean less often. Interpret these observations from the viewpoint of a population ecologist.
