Supposed the Philippine government would allow refugees from Afghanistan to reside in a particular local area in our country. Some of the Afghanistan men and women would marry with the certain locals and produce new generation of offspring. What would be the consequences to the genetic diversity in the population of that area after some decades? Apply the concepts of genetic mechanisms to population change.

1. Why do you think it is necessary for there to be variation in a population in order for evolution by natural selection to occur? 2. Why is it necessary for traits to be inherited for evolution to take place? 3. If a population is already well adapted to its environment, will most mutations be helpful or harmful? Explain.
1. What is the expected time to fixation in generations for a new mutation in a diploid population (like humans) with an effective population size of 50? This new mutation is neutral and has no impact on fitness (e.g. synonymous polymorphism). Assuming the mutation isn’t lost immediately, will it reach fixation faster in a population of Ne=500 or Ne=5,000 and why?
1.)In humans, curly hair is dominant over straight hair. Heterozygotes have wavy hair.On a college campus, a population geneticist found that the frequency of the curlyhair allele was 0.57. What was the frequency of students with wavy hair in that population? 2.) A sampling of 1000 corn kernels found that 360 of them were yellow; the rest of thekernels were purple (the dominant trait with regards to kernel color in corn). Whatwas the frequency of the recessive allele in the population?
One of the original Amish colonies rose from a ship of colonists that came from Europe. The ship s captain, who had polydactyly, a rare dominant trait, was one of the original colonists. Today, we see a much higher frequency of polydactyly in the Amish population. This is an example of: natural selection genetic drift founder effect b and c
Population genetics is the study of: how selective forces change the allele frequencies in a population over time the genetic basis of population-wide traits whether traits have a genetic basis the degree of inbreeding in a population
The reason spontaneous mutations do not have an immediate effect on allele frequencies in a large population is that: a. mutations are random events, and mutations may be eitherbeneficial or harmful. b. mutations usually occur in males and have little effect oneggs. c. many mutations exert their effects after an organism hasstopped reproducing. d. mutations are so rare that mutated alleles are greatlyoutnumbered by nonmutated alleles. e. most mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of aprotein.
1. A sample of 600 individuals from a population is examined for the presence of the HindIII polymorphism in an autsomal Sca gene. There are two alleles of Sca gene, A and a. The results are 14 individuals are AA, 212 are Aa, 374 are aa. Please answer the following questions accordingly? How many alleles are present in the gene pool in the sample population fort he Sca gene? What are the genotype frequencies? What are the frequencies of A and a alleles? What are the expected numbers of the three genotypes, assuming random
1.A small group of turtles float on a log to an island and establish a new population there. How do you expect the genetic diversity of the island turtles to compare to genetic diversity of the mainland turtle population they originated from? Group of answer choices A. Genetic diversity should be similar, since they are the same species. B. Genetic diversity should be higher for the island turtles, because the new environment will produce new alleles. C. Genetic diversity should be lower for the island turtles, since the island turtles represent a small sample of the genetic diversity from the mainland turtles. 2.If the probability of a turtle having a brown shell is 3/4 and the probability of a turtle having a bumpy shell is 1/4, what is the probability of a turtle that has a shell that is both brown andbumpy? Group of answer choices A. 3/16 B. 3/8 C. 3/4 D. 1/2 3. A Drosophila gene is on the X chromosome, and recessive mutations in this gene cause white eye color…

Mendelians emphasized discrete traits whereas Biometricians emphasized continuous traits. Both emphasized heritable variation. C. Mendelians emphasized continuous traits caused by heritable variation whereas Biometricians emphasized discrete traits caused by environmental variation. D. Mendelians emphasized discrete traits whereas Biometricians emphasized continuous traits. Both emphasized environmental variation.
1. Describe what you think would happen if a male mouse acquired a mutation that gave it tan or a sandy colored belly AND female mice wanted to mate with this more about 1 % more than a male mouse with a white belly? 2. Now, suppose that the females were really wild about the sandy colored belly of this male mouse. The females wanted to mate with this lucky mouse about 10% more than males with a white belly? What would happen to the frequency of sandy colored bellies in this population over time? 3. What is the selective pressure at work in questions 1 & 3? 4. Describe what this statement means: "The division of humans into races by using skin color is an arbitrary social construct." 5. What are melanosomes? Name the cell type that produces melanosomes. 6. What happens to melanosomes after they are released into keratinocytes? 7. List the three factors that work together to create the range of skin colors we see today. 8. Describe the main function of keratinocytes and of…

1. You measure the effects of a single allele (A2) on fitness in two populations of the same plant species, Population X and Population Y. Population X lives at higher altitudes. The average excess of fitness of the A2 allele (aA2) in Population X is 1.21, and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0. Population Y lives at a lower altitude. The average excess of fitness of the A2 allele (aA2) in Population Y is -1.68 and the average fitness of the population (w) is 1.0 a) Which population is likely to experience faster evolution? Why? b) What do you predict will happen to the frequency of the A2 allele (pA2) in population X? c) What do you predict will happen to the frequency of the A2 allele (pA2) in population Y? d) Why do you think the average excess of fitness of the A2 allele is different in these two populations?
