Scenario 1 In the 1960s, a population of squirrels (Sciurus carolensis) was being studied in Alabama and the coat color of the squirrels was found to range from the more common gray color (dominant) to the less common red color (recessive). When they sampled an area, they found 536 gray squirrels and 64 red squirrels. Assume that the population is at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. 3A. Show your work to find the number of heterozygous squirrels.

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
