Imagine that you are a conservation biologist responsible for the well-being of a bufello herd consistingof 100 mature males and 100 mature females. In this herd, there is no appreciable mutation, there isno migration in or out, and there is no selection. At the Fuzzy gene locus, there are two alleles, G and E.Homozygous G individuals have fuzzy fur, homozygous E individuals have rough fur, and heterozygoteshave shaggy fur. Suppose you survey the herd and find that there are 44 fuzzy individuals, 72 shaggyindividuals, and 84 rough individuals. Suppose you watch the buffalo and discover that while all the females breed, a small number of males(10) establish breeding harems, while the other males do not breed.a) What is the effective population size of this herd? That is, what size "ideal" population ofbalanced sex ratio would have genetics similar to this population?b)How does the effective population size compare to the actual population size?c) Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what…
A population of ducks had dull orange bills and an average size of 18 inches from bill to tail. Over time, some researches noticed that the average size of the ducks was still 18 inches, but that now many ducks were either much smaller or much larger and no ducks were actually 18 inches long. The researcher correctly identified that the ducks were undergoing ___A___ selection for size, The researcher also noticed that the bills were a much brighter orange in the ducks, and correctly identified ____B____ selection for bill colouration. A few years later, the researcher returned and noticed that only the male ducks now had bright orange bills and the females were less bright. The researcher hypothesized that ____C____ selection was occurring. Question 4 options: 123 Disruptive 123 Sexual 123 Directional 1. A 2. B 3. C

The allele forbrown is denoted GB, while that for green is GG, andthese two alleles are incompletely dominant.a. What are the genotype frequencies in thepopulation?b. What are the allele frequencies of GBand GG inthis population?c. What are the expected frequencies of the genotypes if the population is at Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium?

A farmer is raising rabbits. The average body weight in his population ofrabbits is 3 kg. The farmer selects the 10 largest rabbits in his population,whose average body weight is 4 kg, and interbreeds them. If the narrowsenseheritability of body weight in the rabbit population is 0.7, what is theexpected body weight among the offspring of the selected rabbits?
The relative fitnesses of A,A1. A,Az and A2A2 are 0.5. 0.8, and 1 respectively. What is the expected result of natural selection in this situation? A, will increase and A2will decrease. O A2 will increase and A, will decrease. Both alleles will decrease in frequency. A stable equilibrium will be achieved in which both alleles are maintained. An unstable equilibrium will exist and the outcome depends on the allele frequencies.

In New Zealand you begin to study the relationship between snails and their trematode parasites. You found that the parasites cause cyclical patterns of selection on the snail populations, and vice a versa, such that snails with rare genotypes typically survive better compared to those that have more common genotypes. In the ten years you’ve been sampling, you notice that the two alleles cycle between being rare and common from year to year. What pattern of selection did you observe? a. selection against the dominant allele b. selection against the recessive allele c. frequency-dependent selection d. overdominance
Which of the following statements would be true of ahuman trait that has high heritability in a populationof one country?a. The phenotypic difference within monozygotic twinpairs would be about the same as the phenotypic differences among members of dizygotic twin pairs.b. Very little phenotypic variation exists betweenmonozygotic twins but high variability exists between dizygotic twins.c. The trait would have the same heritability in a population of another country
You discover a population of marmosets in South America and study them for your graduate dissertation. You discover that a particular gene affects fertility in this population. On average, individuals that are "AA" have 3 offspring in their lifetime, while individuals who are"Aa" average 3.5, and individuals that are "a" average 4.7 offspring. This allele frequencies in this population are A=0.4 and a=0.6. Predict the frequency of "A" and "a" in one generation. Show your work.
Two populations of snails live on opposite sides of a city. 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’)?
