Chapter 23.5, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which migration affect genetic compositions of populations.
Introduction: The migration and gene flow are important factors which are essential for determining genetic makeup and composition of individuals of a population. The process of natural selection and genetic drift are also very important for determination of genetic makeup.

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…
Question- Bluegill sunfish males use one of three strategies in trying to gain access to females and mate. Each male only carries out only one of the three strategies: territorial male, sneaker male or female mimic. While the territorial males have the highest reproductive success relative to the other males, some males are not large enough to successfully compete with other territorial males and adopt an alternative strategy, where they gain at least some reproductive success. This is an example of
option 1-artificial selectionoption 2-balanced polymorphismOption 3-stabilizing selectionOption 4-negative-frequency dependent selection

Consider a laboratory population that consists entirely of individuals with the same“repulsion” double heterozygous (diploid) genotype, Ab/aB. Assume the rate ofrecombination between the “A” and “B” loci is c = 1/ 4 .a) What are r, s, t and u in this population? What is D?b) What are r, s, t and u after 1 generation of random breeding? What is D?c) What are r, s, t and u after 5 generations of random breeding? What is D?

- Q6.6. If gametes from a gene pool combine randomly to make only a small number of zygotes, the allele frequencies among the zygotes may be quite different than they are in the gene pool. Why? The effects of natural selection are more pronounced in small populations. Changes in allele frequencies over many generations are inevitable with sexual reproduction. Alleles combine more randomly with a small number of zygotes. The effects of sampling error are more pronounced with smaller samples.arrow_forwardQuestion: What are the major mechanisms maintaining reproductive isolation between populations?arrow_forwardDescribe the advantage of using an aural or pheromone signal to attract a mate as opposed to a visual signal. How might the population density contribute to the evolution of aural or visual mating rituals?arrow_forward
- Drift acting independantly in reproductively isolated populations does it increase or decrease the differences between populations?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_forwardVISUAL SKILLS Consider a population in which heterozygotes at a certain locus have an extreme phenotype(such as being larger than homozygotes) that confersa selective advantage. Compare this description to themodels of selection modes shown in Figure 23.13. Doesthis situation represent directional, disruptive, or stabilizing selection? Explain your answer.arrow_forward

In some bee populations, only large bees are big enough to unfold flower petals and obtain nectar and pollen. A cross between two fish species occurs but development only occurs up to 16-cell stage. In drosophila, when sperm from one species enters the other species, the sperm is immobilized and unable to fertilize the Fireflies have a unique lighting pattern. The frequency of lighting is species specific. Fireflies in the same area will not mate with those having a different lighting frequency. 5.
