Question
Consider the island model with one-way migration. An island is originally inhabited by 1000 individuals. The frequency of the A allele in the inhabitants of the island is p0=0.3. Then 250 individuals travel to the island from the mainland. The frequency of the A allele in the mainland is p*=0.8. What is p1, namely the frequency of A in the island after the arrival of the migrants?

- Using scenario 1 describe wheter the B allele frequency, and R allele frequency will increase, decrease, increase and decrease or remain the samearrow_forwardAbout 70 percent of all Caucasians can taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide, and the remainder cannot. The ability to taste this chemical is determined by the dominant allele T, and the inability to taste is determined by the recessive allele t.

- I want the results to be described in words.arrow_forwardA population of beetles exhibits two phenotypes: red and blue. The genotypes RR and Rr result in red coloration and the genotype rr results in blue coloration. The alleles are equally prevalent (i.e. both frequencies are 0.5). A new predator is introduced and preferentially feeds on blue beetles. What do you expect to happen to the allele frequencies over time? The frequency of the rallele is expected to increase because of predation pressure. O The frequency of the Rallele is expected to increase because of predation pressure. There is not enough information to predict what will occur. O There will be no change because of the Hardy-Weinberg equilbrium.arrow_forward# 37arrow_forward
- Color in McIver beetles is determined by two alleles at one gene locus. McIver beetles must have a heterzygous genotype (genotype A1A2) in order to have a brown color phenotype. Calculate the frequency of the brown beetles in the population if the frequency of the A1 allele is 0.6.arrow_forwardThe figure below shows data on the frequency of the A1 allele at a locus over time (i.e., generations) in 10 populations of flour beetles evolving independently of one another. The populations were all maintained in the lab under the same conditions.

The frequency of the recessive allele (q) of a trait is 0.1 in the population on the south side of the city and 0.6 in the population on the north side. Some individuals from the north side are moved to the south side. After migration, 35% of the individuals on the south side are migrants (originally from the north side). Determine how this migration event affected q in the south side population. Round to the nearest thousandth. Express all values as a frequency in the format “0.###” What is the value of m? What is q in the south side population after migration (aka, q’)?arrow_forward
- After the 200 sticklebacks were introduced into the freshwater environment, the scientists collected data on the frequency of the allele in the population from 1978 to 1985. Which of the following best describes the likely results of the scientists’ investigation? The frequency of the allele continued to be high in approximately 10% of the individuals in the population. Answer A: The frequency of the allele continued to be high in approximately 10% of the individuals in the population. A The frequency of the allele continued to be high in approximately 90% of the individuals in the population. Answer B: The frequency of the allele continued to be high in approximately 90% of the individuals in the population.
