In mice, black fur (W) is dominant over white fur (w). In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 167 mice out of 225 have white fur. Calculate the number of mice that are heterozygous dominant for the fur colour gene in the population. Show all work. Express your answer rounded to the nearest whole number:
In 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).
Assume that the frequency of gene B in a hypothetical population Is 0.63, that there are only two alleles (B and b) of the gee in the population, that allele B is dominant over allele b, that neither allele has a selective advantage over the other, and that the population is at equilibrium with regard to this particular gene. What proportion of the population is expected to have the phenotype specified by the B allele according to the Hardy-Weinberg formula? 0.47 0.87 0.67 0.40 0.37
Fitness is ,most corectly a technical term.what does it mean?what two things do you suppose govern the rate of evolution by natural selection? Explain how Darwinian evolution can decrease and increase the frequency of an allele (or more complex heritable traits ,for that matter)
In a population of king snakes the banded pattern (B) isn't dominant to no banding (b). If 12% the population shows no banding , what percentage of population is heterozygous for banding? (Assume the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and only two alleles are present for this gene.)
Color blindness in humans is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. Ten percent of the males of a large andrandomly mating population are color-blind. A representative group of 1000 people from this population migrates to a South Pacific island, where there are already1000 inhabitants and where 30 percent of the males arecolor-blind. Assuming that Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium applies throughout (in the two original populationsbefore the migration and in the mixed population immediately after the migration), what fraction of malesand females can be expected to be color-blind in the generation immediately after the arrival of the migrants?
There are two existing hypotheses for an unusually high frequency of a deleterious recessive allele in a certain population other than it is hidden in the heterozygous genotype and not exposed to selection. Explain what these two likely hypotheses are and how you could distinguish between them based on your understanding of the applicable assumptions that are part of the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Model
Consider a gene with two alleles, C and M. The table below describes fitness for different genotypes in two populations. Fitness CC CM MM Population 1 1.0 1.0 0.6 Population 2 0.9 0.9 1.0 Assume that both populations begin with frequencies of 0.5 for each allele, population size is infinite, and there is no migration between populations. Which of the following statements is true based on the information you have on these populations?
Suppose that, in one generation, the frequency of the A allele is 40 percent (p=0.40) and the frequency of a allele is 60 percent (q=0.60). If this population is in genetic equilibrium, (1) chances of an individual in the next generation having genotype AA would be ___?(2) The probabilities of genotype aa would be ___? (3) The probability of genotype Aa would be ___? Direction: Provide an answer in 1, 2 and 3 question.
Evolution is driven by both nonrandom and random mechanisms. Identify the mechanisms of evolution that are random and comment on how they affect allele frequencies across generations.
Miguel says that the Hardy–Weinberg law is only theoretical, of nopractical value, and totally worthless because populations will neverbe large, randomly mating for all traits, and free from all evolutionaryforces. Thus, he asserts that populations will never be in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. Barbara says she knows the Hardy–Weinberglaw is important. Who is correct and why?
In mice, black fur (W) is dominant over white fur (w). In an ideal mouse population exhibiting Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, 177 mice out of 236 have white fur. Calculate the number of mice that are heterozygous dominant for the fur colour gene in the population.
