- An allele with no effect on fitness arises in a population through mutation and increases in frequency due to genetic drift. This is an example of....? Group of answer choices neither evolution or natural selection both evolution and natural selection evolution only natural selection onlyarrow_forwardWhich statement about random genetic drift is ALWAYS TRUE? It causes an increase in genetic diversity within a population. It causes the allele with the highest fitness to decrease in frequency over time. It is more rapid and dramatic in populations of large size. It is responsible for the substitution of synonymous mutations in populations over time. O It involves the movement of alleles between populations.arrow_forwardWhen genes from two parents mix together to form the genes of their child, this is called… Group of answer choices evolution resequencing mutation natural selection recombinationarrow_forward
- A population of birds has two alleles encoding for three different phenotypes: long wings, wingsss, and mid-length wings. . The initial frequency of the Sallele was 0.63 and the sallele was 0.37. However 97% of the long-winged birds survived to reproductive age56% of mid-length birds survived to reproductive age, and only 10% of short-winged birds survived to reproductive age. You are going to determine if natural selection has an effect on the allele frequency What is the expected frequency of the Sallele in the next generation when you incorporate the survival rate? Please use as many decimals points as possible when doing your calculations. Please answer using four decimal points. (Your population can be 100 or 1000 individuals or any numberreally up to you.I work with 1000but that won't change the results because we are talking about frequency.)arrow_forwardFor this natural selection story, focus on just ONE GENETIC TRAIT that has two alleles. This is a make-believe story but the story line should sound plausible. Do not involve humans in any way. Once upon a time there was a population of polar bears. Most of the polar bears had/were_(a)___ but a small proportion of the population had/were__(b) ___ Over many generations, the proportion of bears expressing the rare allele became more common through natural selection. What was going on within this population to cause this shift? ___(c)_(very brief is great!) Note: do NOT mention whether the alleles are dominant/recessive nor about individuals being homozygous etc. We are looking at the big picture population-level patterns only.arrow_forwardHelparrow_forward

- According to the _________ hypothesis, selection is weaker later in life making aging alleles only mildly deleterious. Muller's ratchet mutation accumulation antagonistic pleiotropy rate of livingarrow_forwardWhich can bring new traits to a population and why? natural selection - because it increases the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time natural selection - because it makes new alleles natural selection and mutation because both increase the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time O mutation becaust makes new alleles mutation because it increases the frequency of adaptive alleles in a population over time O natural selection and mutation because both make new alleles 99+arrow_forwardBased on the information provided, what is the number of adults after the natural selection?
