The trait that natural selection “selects for” is lifetime Darwinian fitness. If relative matching of the moths to the background is determining fitness differences, is there any difference in other fitness components in the color morphs of Biston betularia that is influencing the direction of evolution in the three populations shown in the graph? Give a reason for your answer.

A prospective groom, who is unaffected, has a sisterwith cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease.Their parents are unaffected. The brother plans to marrya woman who has no history of CF in her family. Whatis the probability that they will produce a CF child? Theyare both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF inthe Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affectedchild per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy–Weinberg assumptions.)
The linkage distance between the DNA sequence used in the test and the actual Huntington’ disease locus was 5%. In a large sample of the Venezuelan family, what percentage of people would inherit the DNA sequence but not the Huntington’s allele (i.e. be a false positive test for Huntington’s)? What percentage of that large Venezuelan family would not inherit the DNA sequence but would inherit the Huntington’s allele (i.e., be a false negative test for Huntington’s)?

Tristan da Cunha is a group of small islands in themiddle of the Atlantic Ocean. In 1814, a group of 15British colonists founded a settlement on these islands.In 1885, 15 of the 19 males on the island were lost ina shipwreck. In the late 1960s, four cases of retinitispigmentosa, which progressively leads to blindness,were found among the 240 descendants of these settlers remaining on the island. The frequency of retinitis pigmentosa in Britain is about 1 in 6000. Explainthe high incidence of this disease on Tristan daCunha relative to that seen in Britain.

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…
