Suppose that gene B occurs in a unicorn population where the frequency of the B1 allele is 0.5 and the frequency of the B2 allele is 0.4. What is the frequency of the B3 allele, assuming that there are only 3 alleles in the population? O The frequency of B3 = 0.1 because 0.5 +0.4+ B3 = 1. O The frequency of B3= (0.4)2 = 0.16 O The frequency of B3= 0.9 because 0.5 +0.4 = 0.9 O There is not enough information to determine the frequency of the B3

Under genetic drift, if an allele’s frequency is 1%, what is the likelihood that it will be lost from the population? part B; Construct a graph that describes the likelihood of fixation of a particular allele, for a small population that is under Wright-Fisher genetic drift. Don’t forget to label axes completely.
Suppose that recessive deleterious allele is found to be much less common than its predicted equilibrium frequency, based on the selection coefficient and mutation rate measured in modern populations. Which of the following is the best explanation for this? Note that, when selection or mutation rates change, it may take hundred of generations for population to reach its new equilibrium. A. Selection against the allele was weaker in the past than today B. Mutation rates were higher in the past C. Heterozygote advantage in some environments D. Increases lifespans have made the allele more deleterious now than it was in the Please answer asap and in short and content should not be palgarised please
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A population of snails has a deleterious mutation (m) with a mutation rate of 0.01. Heterozygotes with this mutation will show the deleterious phenotype and have a selection coefficient of 0.4. If allele frequencies in the population are M = 0.99 and m = 0.01, will the number of mutant alleles in the next generation increase/decrease/remain the same?

A. 0.9025 B. 0.0025 C. 0.05 D. 0.095 E. 0.0475
