6. You have identified an autosomal gene that contributesto tail size in male guppies, with a dominant allele B forlarge tails and a recessive allele b for small tails. Femaleguppies of all genotypes have similar tail sizes. Youknow that female guppies usually mate with males withthe largest tails, but the effects of population densityand the ratio of the sexes on this preference have notbeen studied. You therefore place an equal number ofmales in three tanks. In tank 1, the number of femalesis twice the number of males. In tank 2, the numbers ofmales and females are equal. In tank 3, half as manyfemales as males are present. After mating, you findthe following proportions of small-tailed males amongthe progeny: tank 1, 16%; tank 2, 25%; tank 3, 30%.a. In your original population (before the animals wereplaced in the three tanks), 25% of the males havesmall tails. Assuming that the allele frequencies inmales and females are the same, calculate the frequencies of B and b in your…

1. A sample of 600 individuals from a population is examined for the presence of the HindIII polymorphism in an autsomal Sca gene. There are two alleles of Sca gene, A and a. The results are 14 individuals are AA, 212 are Aa, 374 are aa. Please answer the following questions accordingly? How many alleles are present in the gene pool in the sample population fort he Sca gene? What are the genotype frequencies? What are the frequencies of A and a alleles? What are the expected numbers of the three genotypes, assuming random
If the genotype frequencies in a population are 0.60 AA, 0.20 Aa, and 0.20 aa, and if the requirements of the HardyWeinberg principle apply, the genotype frequencies in the offspring generation will be: a. 0.60 AA, 0.20 Aa, 0.20 aa. b. 0.36 AA, 0.60 Aa, 0.04 aa. c. 0.49 AA, 0.42 Aa, 0.09 aa. d. 0.70 AA, 0.00 Aa, 0.30 aa. e. 0.64 AA, 0.32 Aa, 0.04 aa.
The reason spontaneous mutations do not have an immediate effect on allele frequencies in a large population is that: a. mutations are random events, and mutations may be eitherbeneficial or harmful. b. mutations usually occur in males and have little effect oneggs. c. many mutations exert their effects after an organism hasstopped reproducing. d. mutations are so rare that mutated alleles are greatlyoutnumbered by nonmutated alleles. e. most mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of aprotein.
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
In a large, randomly mating population, the frequency of an autosomalrecessive lethal allele is 0.20. What will the frequency of this allele be inthe next generation if all homozygotes die before reproducing?

What describes the phenotypic plasticity of an organism best? O the degree of which individuals can change over time by altering their genotype O the effect of variable environment on the genotype of an organism O the variation of the target phenotype for a given genotype in different environments O the change of a phenotype due to ingestion of detrimental plastic material (as for instance plastic straws by sea turtles). O the degree of which a given genotype is adapted to a particular environment
Entomologists at the New York State Department of Agriculture are interested in determiningthe connection between pest insects infesting crop plants with populations of the same insectinfesting native plants in natural habitats. Long term trapping and monitoring studies haveestimated that on average 3% of the populations move between habitats (farm to natural and visversa) each generation. A new insecticide resistance allele (∆K) has begun to increase infrequency in the agricultural populations. A genotyping survey at this locus of 50 individuals ineach population has revealed the following genotype counts: K/K K/∆K ∆K/∆K Agricultural field 32 16 2 Forest 48 2 0 4a. Based on the effects of migration alone, what will the frequency of ∆K be in the forestpopulation in the next generation? 4b. If migration was acting in here without selection, what would the frequency of ΔK be in theagricultural population in the next generation? 4c. If the natural forest population was…
