The specimen depicted at the bottom in the figure represents the group in which individuals were unmanipulated, left untrimmed.iii. Individuals in the group represented by the specimen at the bottom fared better in condition (measured as body mass relative to length) terms than did individuals in the group represented by the specimen at the top.

Flgure A shows the color of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) In the Nebraska
Sand Hills (white area) and the rest of the State (grey area). Mice are shown on
the habitat they are not nomally found on. The color of the Sand Hills Is shown
below the light-colored mouse (normal habltat), while the color of the ground in
the rest of the State is shown below the dark-colored mouse. Figure B shows the
phenotyplc difference in the hair shaft of the wild-type and the light-colored
(wideband) mice. Figure C shows the expressilon levels (MRNA) of the Agouti
alleles responsīble for the phenotype seen in figure B. a+= wild-type Agouti alele,
a-= a deletion of the Agouti allele, awb = wideband Agouti allele mutation, and
the black rectangles undermeath each bar is the relative difference in the hair
shaft band phenotype. Wder band means lighter hair color in the deer mice. b.
The Sand Hills were created by volcanic activity 15,000-8,000 years ago. How

Stages of natural selection
What is the order of stages in natural selection?
Genetic variation exists between individuals of a population.
Individuals compete with each other for food,
water and mates, and to avoid predators.
Individuals with adaptive phenotypes compete better and
are more likely to survive and reproduce, at the expense of...
..individuals with less adaptive phenotypes and fewer
competitive characteristics, which die or reproduce less.
Genes for adaptive char acteristics are more likely to be inherited.
The number of individuals with the adaptive phenotype increases.

- 1a) Define the term linkage disequilibrium. (b) Explain why it makes sense that natural selection can maintain linkage disequilibrium between two loci that are not physically linked when there is epistasis for fitness. (c) Explain the role of linkage disequilibrium in employing QTL mapping as a way to investigate the genetic architecture of adaptive traits.arrow_forwardPlease answer fast Which of the following are true about the logic we use to identify alleles under positive selection at a given locus? Question 3 options: Alleles under positive selection should occur at relatively high frequency. An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of genetic drift is likely to be a "young allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently. An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of positive selection is likely to be an "old allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently. "Old alleles" are likely to be in linkage disequilibrium with nearby loci. "Young alleles" are likely to be in linkage equilibrium with nearby loci. Consider what we now know about the tree of life.

- solve G-M but make sure you read previous statements if needed ( ragoon/ Rat Is same )Sample A has been allowed to breed randomly for many generations. At a particular gene locus, there are two alleles, and one is dominant to the other. After several generations, 64% of the animals have the phenotype associated with the dominant allele. Population A is in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.a) In Colony A, what is the estimated frequency of the recessive allele and heterozygous genotype? Sample B has been studied for many generations. The slope of the regression line describing the relationship between the number of whiskers in an offspring and the average number of whiskers of both parents is 0.50.b)What is the heritability (h2) of abdominal bristle number in Sample B? c) Suppose that the mean whisker number in Sample B is 26 and suppose that the researcher chooses rats for breeding such that the mean whisker number of breeding individuals is 36. What would you expect the mean number of…arrow_forwardRevise the passage Darwin is best known for his Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics, first presented in 1801 (Darwin's first book dealing with natural selection was published in 1859):Based on these observations and inferences, Darwin concluded that these traits, called adaptations were the product of evolution by Acquired Traits, these traits made the members of the population who had them equally fit for survival. an organism could also change during their lifetime in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. For example, darwin believed that if giraffes stretched their necks to reach food, Their offspring and later generations would inherit the resulting long necks.arrow_forwardIn this version of the simulation (500 population size; 500 carrying capacity), all fish are equally likely (though not 100% likely) to survive and reproduce. There are no mutations, nor are there any entering or leaving the population. When they reproduce, they choose a mate from the pool at random and produce ten offspring by chance with the probability of the offspring’s genotypes determined by the punnett square. What caused the allele frequencies to change and vary in the trials? (ex attached).arrow_forward
- EXERCISE 6 HARDY-WEINBERG EQUILIBRIUM Work in a small group or alone to complete this exercise. In human population X, consider the simple Mendelian trait for freckles. F is the dominant allele and f'is the recessive allele. Individuals who are homozygous dominant (FF) or heterozygous (F) for the trait express freckles. Individuals who are homozygous recessive (ff) for the trait do not express freckles. In this population, 30% (0.3) of the alleles are recessive (f ) and 70% (0.7) are dominant (F). 1. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to determine the genotype frequencies we should expect in the next generation. Be sure to show your work. 2. You have collected data on the observed genotype frequencies of the next generation. They are 60% FF, 30% Ff, and 10% ff. Based on these observations and your expectations, is this trait currently evolving in this population? Why or why not?arrow_forwardHow does the aminoacyl trna synthetases recognize which trna gets its amino acid?

- Lithobates clamitus. also know as the green frog and bronze frog can range in in skin color from pure to brown to pure green and a mixture of both. As their habitats change frogs with a mixture of both colors have a higher fitness as they are better able to hide from predators. 1. If the change in the distribution of this trait is the result of natural selection, name the mode of selection (ie: Balancing, Disruptive, etc...) 2. If a small group of male frogs end up joining this population from a different population of frogs, which process of selection describes the movement of alleles present in the male frog? 3. The process you named in “c” ________ the genetic variation in the population that the male frog joined? (increase, decrease, or stay the same?)arrow_forwardHouse mouse (Mus musculus) Gene of interest: B4galnt2 (encodes glycosyltransferase enzyme) • Allele R: Associated with prolonged bleeding due to issues with blood clotting; associated with resistance to bacterial infections due to absence of intestinal expression. Allele C: Associated with increased susceptibility to bacterial infections; not associated with prolonged bleeding. A B C The population is closed; there are no new mice coming in. The cages are setup to allow for random mating. The B4galnt2 gene is not associated with any mating preferences or non-random mating patterns. Studies have shown that mutations in this locus are extremely rare. The population is EXTREMELY large. The population is kept in well maintained environment, free of bacterial infections. The mouse food is supplemented with a low dose of blood coagulator, which helps the blood clot and eliminates any prolonged bleeding. None of the genotypes display any side effects to this medication. The population is…arrow_forwardFitness is, most correctly, a technical term.What does it mean?
