The figure below represents a map of 3 islands (labelled A, B, and C). The allele frequencies for one gene (with two alleles, H and h) in populations of a plant species found on all 3 islands is given for each island. A survey shows that the population sizes of the plant species for the three islands are all > 50,000. Which two islands are most likely to have similar environments? H = 0.95 h = 0.05 H = 0 h = 1.0 H = 1.0 h = 0 O A and C O A and B There is not enough evidence to answer this question. B and C

Let us say that gene flow among the islands is uniform over the interval of study but varies across islands. Also, the islands have effective population sizes as indicated in the table, except you must enter your estimate for Ne for island A from problem 8.

(A) island A (B) island B (C) island C 10) Which island, based on the combined evidence of Ne and m, is most likely to drift away from the allele frequencies of the other islands? (A) island A (B) island B (C) island C
In peas, a gene controls flower color such that R = purple and r = white. In an isolated pea patch, there are 36 purple-flowering plants and 64 white-flowering plants. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the value of q for this population? Group of answer choices 0.64 0.60 0.80 0.36 0.75
In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant over yellow fruit (r). In a tomato plant population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, if allele r has a frequency of 0.66, what percentage of the population is homozygous dominant for this trait? Express your answer using three significant digits. Answer%
In a particular species of flower, C1 codes for red flowers, C2 codes for white, with the heterozygous individuals being pink. A. In the frequency of pink individuals in the population was .7126, would you be able to estimate the frequencies of the individuals alleles in the population? Why or why not? B. If the frequency of red individuals in the population was .329, what would the estimated frequency of pink and white individuals be in the same population?
A hypothetical species of plant has flowers whose color is controlled by a single gene with two alleles, blue (B) and yellow (Y), where blue is dominant and yellow is recessive. A population of 2430 of these plants includes 190 plants with yellow flowers.Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the frequency of the yellow allele?

Which of the following events would NOT change the allele frequencies of a population? Select one: Pollinators from a population of flowers on one side of a river transport pollen to the flowers on the other side of the river. A hive of bees is overcrowded and half the population swarms to form a new hive elsewhere. None of the answer choices would NOT change allele frequency of a population. A hurricane destroys ⅓ of the beetle population in Southern Philippines.

n 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. 1B. What is the frequency of the homozygous recessive individuals?(Put your answer here rounded to the nearest hundredth)
You have surveyed three (3) populations of organisms (A, B and C) using eleven (11) quadrats of fixed size. From these samples, you calculate the average density (standard deviation) in each population as: A: average = 4.9, standard deviation = 1.6 B: average = 4.9, standard deviation = 3.0 C: average = 4.9, standard deviation = 7.8 Which population (A, B or C) shows the most uniform distribution?
