5. Describe how the authors accounted for age in the methods. Why is this important?6.Explain the results shown in Fig. 1. What was the value for h²?a.For what specific trait, therefore, do they demonstrate heritability?b. Can that trait evolve?C.What if they studied the same trait in a different population and got a value of h²=0.4.Which population would evolve faster?7. Explain the authors' reasoning for rejecting body condition affecting parasite load (see 3rdparagraph of Discussion). Draw a hypothetical graph that corresponds to their description ofwhy they rejected the hypothesis.8. Describe the problem of uncertain paternity with respect to this study. How could the authorsdefinitely determine paternity and make sure they correctly identified each offspring's parents?9.Do you agree or disagree with the authors' conclusions? Why or why not?

1. The electrophoresis gel below shows allozyme polymorphisms of the sevenless gene (Sev) from 16 individuals sampled from a Drosophila melanogaster population. Assume that all genotypes of Sev in the population were sampled. a. Please estimate the genotype frequencies and allele frequencies of this population. b. Please compute the heterozygosity (h) of this gene. %3D
1). The p-value for this test is . 072. Do we reject the null hypothesis?2). Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a statistically significant difference in mean weight between the different NYHA groups?3). Pretend for a moment that the resulting p-value was 0.02. Do we reject the null hypothesis in this case? Why or why not? If we were to reject the null hypothesis, we would conclude that there is sufficient evidence to suggest a statistically significant difference in mean weight between the NYHA groups. The NYHA variable has four levels: would we know which of the four NYHA group means gave the statistically significant result?

Through PCR, we have determined the PER3 genotypes for a class of students as follows: H4/H4 = 125 individuals; H4/H5 = 90 individuals and H5/H5=85 individuals. Considering the Hardy Weinberg equilibrium and calculating the Chi-square statistic, do you reject or fail to reject the null-hypothesis? 1. Comparing the value of Chi-square that I calculated with the critical value of Chi-square for the appropriate degrees of freedom I conclude that P<0.05. Hence, I reject the null hypothesis. 2. Comparing the value of Chi-square that I calculated with the critical value of Chi-square for the appropriate degrees of freedom I conclude that P>0.05. Hence, I reject the null hypothesis. 3. Comparing the value of Chi-square that I calculated with the critical value of Chi-square for the appropriate degrees of freedom I conclude that P<0.05. Hence, I fail to reject the null hypothesis. 4. Comparing the value of Chi-square that I calculated with the critical value of Chi-square for the…

A pea plant called R1 with yellow (G, dominant) and smoothed (W , dominant) seeds is test crossed with a plant R2 with green (recessive) and wrinkled (recessive) (ggww) seeds. The following offspring are obtained: 400 yellow smooth, 420 green smooth, 395 yellow wrinkled and 375 green wrinkled. A. Select which number below supports the hypothesis about the genotype of the R1 parent crossed in this experiment 1.GGWW 2.GGww 3.GgWw 4.ggww

You are investigating a newly emerging bacteriophage infecting your bacteria. There is a population of bacteria that are resistant to the disease. The allele frequency of the resistant allele is q=0.43. The mutation rate (Aàa) of the locus is 3.2 x 10-2. Assuming no back mutations, how do you expect the allele frequency of the recessive allele to change in the next generation? a. It will decrease a little b. It will not change c. It will decrease a lot d. It will increase a little e. It will increase a lot
