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 3rd paragraph of Discussion). Draw a hypothetical graph that corresponds to their description of why they rejected the hypothesis. 8. Describe the problem of uncertain paternity with respect to this study. How could the authors definitely 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?

please answer all parts with good explanation and clear answer

I. A population called the founder generation, consisting of 2000 AA individuals, 2000 Aa individuals, and6000 aa individuals is established on a remote island.Mating within this population occurs at random, thethree genotypes are selectively neutral, and mutationsoccur at a negligible rate.a. What are the frequencies of alleles A and a in thefounder generation?b. Is the founder generation at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium?c. What is the frequency of the A allele in the secondgeneration (that is, the generation subsequent to thefounder generation)?d. What are the frequencies for the AA, Aa, and aagenotypes in the second generation?e. Is the second generation at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium?f. What are the frequencies for the AA, Aa, and aagenotypes in the third generation?

help and explain which answer is correct

A Senecio lautus population growing on a headland has a prostate form, growing low to the ground, while a nearby population on coastal dunes grows in a more upright shape. To test whether this trait has diverged as a result of each population adapting to its local environment, we could 1. plant both populations in a common garden and test whether the populations still expressed the different growth forms 2. plant both populations in both the dune and headland habitat, and test whether the populations are fitter in their home environments 3. plant both populations in both the dune and headland habitat and test whether the populations still expressed the different growth forms.  choose one option

1) Recombinant DNA technology and selective breeding are 2 techniques that seek to produce desirable traits within an organism, yet they do so in very different ways. How do the methods of each process differ? What technique would more reliable in producing the desired outcome? Why?

Please fill in the blank ———- mutations are the most common...

Which of the following can the results of a QTL tell you?   a. Identify all of the causative genes underlying a trait.   b. Identify the specific marker locus causes the phenotype you are tracking.   c. Identification of regions of the genome that are associated with a trait.   d. Identify haplotypes associated with specific traits of interest in other populations.

You were tasked to conduct a population genetic survey of a diploid insect population. You obtained tissue samples from 20 individuals, ran a starch gel electrophoresis, and stained the gel for lactate dehydrogenase. Below is the result of your gel electrophoresis.     Following up on Question 1, how many genotypes are expected in the population?   A. 2   B. 3   C. 4   D. 5   E. 6   Following up on Question 1, if this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, then what is the highest expected genotype frequency among all possible genotypes?   A. 0.25   B. 0.30   C. 0.40   D. 0.50   E. 0.60

5. a. Is genetic drift a gain or loss in heterozygosity?  b. What population is most effected by drift? Ne = 20 or Ne = 200. Why?  c. There is a balancing act between drift and another force of evolution. What is it and why is this important?
