There is a chromosome with two loci on it, Locus X that has alleles X and x, and Locus Y that has alleles Y and y. The chromosome types exist in the following proportions: XY: 0.1 Xy: 0.3 xY: 0.4 xy: 0.2 Is this population is in linkage equilibrium? Yes No Not enough information to tell Alleles are made up figments of biological imagination
Figure 11.7 Do you think genetic drift would happen more quickly on an island or on the mainland?
Each of the following has a better chance of influencing genotype frequencies in small populations than in large populations, but which one has the greatest influence in small populations? Group of answer choices Non-random mating Natural selection Gene flow Genetic drift Mutation PreviousNext
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium in a population refers to Group of answer choices equal numbers of females and males. lack of mutations affecting the observed phenotypes. equal numbers of dominant and recessive alleles. unchanging allele frequencies in successive generations. proportional numbers of each genotype.
The Hardy-Weinberg equation Group of answer choices is the way we determine the length of a gene on a chromosome measures the small, incremental stages of changes of the earth over deep time measures the amount of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis helps us determine the extent to which a trait in a population is evolving
Calculate the probability a new mutation, with one copy in the population, is lost by random genetic drift in the next generation for the following diploid populations: [a] N=5 [b] N=25 [c] N=1250
Among a particular population of 100 plants, red flowers are dominant and yellow flowers are recessive. F is the dominant allele and f is the recessive allele. 40 plants are homozygous dominant • 44 plants are heterozygous 16 plants are homozygous recessive Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to calculate the equilibrium frequencies of each genotype
A population of rabbits may be brown (the dominant phenotype) or white (the recessive phenotype). Brown rabbits have the genotype BB or Bb. White rabbits have the genotype bb. The frequency of the BB genotypre is .35 What is the frequency of the heterozygous rabbits? What is the frequency of the B allele? What is the frequency of the b allele?
Which of the below contributes to genetic variation? (choose all that apply). Group of answer choices crossing over random mating large population mutations law of segregation independent assortment multiple alelles fertilization Law of dominance cytokinesis
Genetic drift is often described as a “chance event.” Give other examples of chance events that could cause a genetic bottleneck.
Assume that gene T is closely linked to gene U. Two different alleles of T exist in the population. Allele t1 confers resistance to severe forms of COVID-19, while allele t2 does not; these alleles do not confer other notable phenotypes. Two different alleles of U exist in the population: u1 and u2, none of which makes any difference in terms of fitness. The makeup of chromosomes in a human population is Genotype Frequency t1 u1 300 t2 u1 300 t1 u2 50 t2 u2 350 What is the frequency of the u2 allele in the population? Write that frequency as a number between 0 and 1 (e.g. 0.5 if the frequency is 50%).
The purpose of hardy weinberg theorem is: 1. to predict the number of individuals in a population 2. to predict the frequency of alleles in a family 3. to predict the recombination frequency in a population 4. to predict the frequency of alleles in a population
