Based on the class data from Experiment I, for each of the three populations, describethe effect of population size on genetic diversity over time. Your answer should touchon the magnitude of any genetic changes through time for each of the three populationsizes.arrow_forward2. Use the following information to calculate a prediction of the EBV, EPD of two beef sires with records of progeny. Heritability for yearling weight = 45 a. Sire 1 has 105 progeny that average 1,150 at a year of age with a population average of 1,000 lbs. EBV = EPD = Future progeny record b. Sire 2 has 50 progeny that average 1,200 at a year of age with a population average of 1,100 lbs. EBV = EPD= Accuracy Accuracy Future progeny record- Accuracy Accuracyarrow_forward

- 3.) In a population that is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, 45 % of the individuals arehomozygous recessive for a certain trait. In a population of 15,500, how many of the individualswill be;a. homozygous dominant individualsb. heterozygous individualsarrow_forward9. Two lizard populations were found on opposite sides of a mountain. On a particular gene A, the following genotypes (together with the corresponding frequencies) were observed: AA Aa aa Population 1 38 Population 2 0 44 18 80 20 a. Calculate the frequencies of A and a in the two populations. а. b. Calculate and establish if either of the two populations appear to be at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. c. A huge flood opened a canyon in the mountain previously separating population 1 and 2. They were then able to migrate such that the two populations mixed completely and mated at random.
