random formation of haplotypes from alleles based on their frequencies. b. Statement 1, 2, and 3 c. Statement 2. When linkage disequilibrium = 0, then the population is said to be in linkage equilibrium. d. Statement 1. Linkage disequilibrium is the condition in which the haplotype frequencies in a population deviate from the values they would have if the genes at each locus were combined at random. e. Statement 1 and 2 but not 3

Select all that are TRUE regarding the Hardy Weinberg Law. 1.It predicts the allele frequencies in the next generation 2.The dominant allele frequency is denoted as p 3.The genotype frequencies must add to 1 4.It assumes that natural selection is not influencing the population 5.The assumptions of the law are rarely met in natural populations

Briefly describe what can be expected during consanquineous matings as they disproportionally contribute to the incidence of rare autosomal recessive conditions.  What is a genetic drift and what is the effect of new mutations and natural selection for populations?

The following table provides phenotypic data for a population of mammoths living in cold environments based on fossil and DNA evidence. Based on this data and your knowledge of natural selection, which explanation best explains the trends seen in the data? Individuals with thicker fur had a survival advantage in the cold environment, allowing these individuals to reproduce more often and create more offspring.   Individuals within this population of mammoths tend to only mate with individuals that have thick fur.   This population of mammoths appear to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium since no allele frequencies are changing over time.   Individuals with thick fur migrated into the population of mammoths, increasing the proportion of these individuals.

I need help with this question

According to Hamilton's Rule, in which scenario is selection for cooperative breeding expected to be the strongest? but lose the chance to have Helpers raise and increase the survival and reproduction of of their own offspring. O 100 additional 2nd cousins twice removed to whom they are 0.00781 (0.781%) genetically related; 2 of their own offspring. 60 additional 1st cousins once-removed to whom they are 0.0625 (6.25%) genetically related; 1 of their own offspring. O 50 additional grandnieces/nephews to whom they are 0.125 (12.5%) genetically related; 2 of their own offspring. None of the three scenarios are likely to result in the evolution of cooperative breeding according to Hamilton's Rule.

Please help: As the amount of time that two populations are separated increases a.the F-statistic becomes irrelevant in quantifying population substructure b.the difference in allele frequencies should also increase until each population is completely fixed for separate alleles c.there is no influence on subsequent changes in allele frequencies in each population d.as the magnitude of genetic distance between them decreases e.selectively neutral loci always remain at identical frequencies in the two populations

I need help understanding how to calculate using the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium.  Please see the attached. Thank you!

You are examining the gene in your snail population that confers resistance to a parasite. There are multiple alleles at this locus. Identify the characteristics that would result in the greatest increase in allele frequency (not necessarily the greatest allele frequency) in one single generation of the resistant allele. Answer Resistant allele acts… Initial resistant allele frequency… Selection strength is… a. dominantly high weak b. recessively low strong c. dominantly low strong d. recessively high weak   a. Answer a.   b. Answer b.   c. Answer c.   d. Answer d.
