The groups we recognize as different human races represented populations that have been genetically isolated for a long time, we would expect to see: Select all that apply and briefly justify your answer. a) high levels of genetic variation between groups relative to what we see within groups. b) high levels of genetic variation within groups relative to what we see between groups. c) no clear pattern of genetic variation―in some regions, we would see more variation within than among groups, and in some regions we would see the opposite. d) a correlation between the amount of genetic variation between groups and the length of time the groups have been isolated from one another.

What role does geographic isolation play in the formation of a new species? Group of answer choices A.If two populations become isolated geographically, then the two populations cannot interbreed with one another. There will be gene flow between the two. This will allow the two isolated populations to evolve independently leading to new species. B. If two populations become isolated geographically, then the two populations can interbreed with one another. There will be no gene flow between the two. This will allow the two isolated populations to evolve independently leading to new species. C. None of the answers are correct D. If two populations become isolated geographically, then the two populations cannot interbreed with one another. There will be no gene flow between the two. This will allow the two isolated populations to evolve independently leading to new species.
Why is population level genetic variation important for evolution and what causes genetic variation ? How do we detect if evolution is occurring ?
You are studying a population of penguins in Antarctica. Your DNA analysis of this population reveals that for the feather color pattern gene, 35 individuals are homozygous dominant, 35 individuals are heterozygous, and 30 individuals are homozygous recessive. After observing this population for several years, you repeat your DNA study and find that the current generation of penguins has 15 individuals that are homozygous dominant, 10 individuals that are heterozygous, and 75 individuals that are homozygous recessive. Which of the following hypotheses for this data would be supported by this data based on your understanding of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? This population of penguins is maintaining Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium due to its large population size. The penguins are randomly choosing mates, which has led to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The penguins are very isolated, which is preventing gene flow from affecting Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The recessive phenotype in…
Imagine a population of mice living in a grey, rocky environment. Some mice are grey and some are brown. If natural selection occurs in this population, what would you expect to see if you returned in 100 mouse generations? Describe what you'd see in terms of fur colors in the population. Imagine a population of mice living in a grey, rocky environment. Some mice are grey and some are brown. If mutations occur in this population, what could you see if you returned in 100 mouse generations, that would tell you mutations had occurred? Describe what you'd see in terms of fur colors in the population, and how it would be different from what you'd see in #2.
What is the 50-500 rule? What does each of these numbers represent? With what mechanism of evolutionary change (of the five Hardy-Weinberg assumptions) does this rule primarily deal? What other major field of study uses this rule and why?
In general, why does stabilizing selection decrease genetic diversity?
A hypothetical population of 10,000 humans has 6848 individuals with the blood type AA, 2846 individuals with blood type AB, and 306 individuals with the blood type BB. What is the frequency of each genotype in this population? What is the frequency of the A allele? What is the frequency of the B allele? If the next generation contained 25,000 individuals, how many individuals would have blood type BB, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Which evolutionary forces a. cause an increase in genetic variation both within and between populations? b. cause a decrease in genetic variation both within and between populations? c. cause an increase in genetic variation within populations but cause a decrease in genetic variation between populations?
Natural selection predicts that two species that came from a common ancestor should have high degree of correlation in their genomes. what aspect (use) of correlation am I using when apply it for this purpose?
Can someone please explain the distinction of natural selection and evolution of populations?
You compare two strands of mtDNA and discover that there are 3 differences in base pairs between them. Assuming that the mutation rate for the species that you are examining is 1 mutation every 20,000 years, how long ago did the two strands share a common ancestor? Write your answer in xxx,xxx format. These two strands shared a common ancestor _____________ years ago.
Why is it appropriate to define evolution as the change in allele frequencies of a population over time?
