uppose a hew predator moves into same environment as a bird species. The predator can more easily see birds that are red (the dominant phenotype), and can less easily see birds that are brown (the recessive phenotype).

A student sampled a population of fruit flies in which the percentage of homozygous recessive white eyed males (rr) was 70%. Calculate a) Allele frequencies for white and red gene b) Genotypic frequencies in case of inbreeding of the population in the next generation
a.)What effect does directional selection have on genetic variation? b.)A population has an allele that encodes for ear size, large ear being dominant and small ear being recessive. The frequency of the dominant allele is .6. What percentage of the population has big ears?
A researcher studies two types of fly populations. Population A have stubby bristles which are both shorter and blunter than population B. This is because the flies are homozygous for a certain allele for the stubble gene which affects bristle length. These flies are ebony coloured with black bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a certain allele for the ebony gene that affects body colour. Population B have longer and tapered bristles than population A and are not stubbly in appearance. This is due to them being homozygous for a different allele for the gene that affects bristle length to population A. These flys are not ebony coloured and have brown bodies. This is due to them being homozygous for the gene that affects body colour. The researcher crosses parental flys (P1) from population A with those from population B and counts the number of offspring that have stubble and non-stubble bristles, and the number of offspring that are ebony-coloured and non-ebony-coloured…

Inbreeding improves the overall biological fitness of progeny. d. Inbreeding increases the frequency of heterozygotes in a population.
Explain what genetic variation is and how is it beneficial to a population facing an environmental challenge. Engage in argument from evidence whether small or large body size is more fit for survival in the fish populations. Predict what is likely to happen to body size for fish harvested by nets if the holes in the nets were to become smaller
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
