What was the general trend (comparing Generation 1 to Generation 4) in allele frequency that you observed for the brown allele over the four generations? Did the brown allele increase or decrease in allele frequency? Write the actual numbers for each generation here in support of your answer. 2. What was the general trend (comparing Generation 1 to Generation 4) in allele frequency you observed for the green allele over the four generations? Did the green…arrow_forwardPlease answer fast Which allele is associated with q in the population genetics models? What is characteristic of this allele and why is this characteristic different in mutation-selection balance models?arrow_forwardA species of daisy has hermaphroditic flowers (i.e., each flower produces both male and female gametes). Researchers genotyped 1,000 individuals at a SNP in three populations. The numbers of each genotype in each population were: Genotype Population 1 Population 2 Population 3 TT 90 200 50 TC 420 200 500 CC 490 600 450 For each population, calculate the allele frequencies and determine whether the population is currently at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. For populations not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicate whether there is an excess of homozygous or heterozygous genotypes. For populations not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicate how many generations of random mating it would take for the population to reach equilibrium.arrow_forward

Which parameter from the software you are using in lab this week must you adjust in order to change the frequency of the A2 allele in the simulation? 3. If you wanted to simulate a population that experiences no natural selection pressures in AlleleA1, you would:arrow_forwardWRITE DOWN SOME NOTES OR TAKE AWAYS ABOUT THIS MODEL. Model 3 – Random Genetic Drift This model is an adaptation of the classic experiment conducted by Peter Buri (1956), which documented genetic drift in laboratory populations of Drosophila. In the model, ten vials (populations) of flies are held at a constant population size and the proportions of a mutant allele are tracked over generations. The population size and the initial allele proportion can be manipulated.arrow_forwardYou are studying gene Q/q in two populations of great white sharks. In one population most individuals have genotype QQ, and in the other population most individuals have the genotype qq. If there is some migration from each population into the other, how will this affect genotype frequencies?arrow_forward
- I need help with the following questionarrow_forwardA different locus codes for drought tolerance in desert tortoises. On average during a drought, genotype AA produces 7 offspring, genotype AB produces 8 offspring, and genotype BB produces 3 offspring. The genotype frequencies in 2019 are 10% AA, 10% AB, and 80% BB. What is the expected equilibrium allele frequency p* after a large number of generations go by during the drought? Assume the tortoise population is also very large.arrow_forwardWhat would be the expected number of each genotype (round to the nearest whole number assuming genotype represents an individual) assuming the population was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium? f(M1M1) = 0.127 f(M1M2) = 0.390 f(M2M2) = 0.300 f(M1M3) = 0.068 f(M2M3) = 0.105 f(M3M3) = 0.009 Referencing a p-value of 0.05 and a CV of 11.070, state if the population is in HWE.
