Question
Chapter 21, Problem 2IQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The conclusion from the fact that the frequency of melanic moths decreased to the same degree in the two locations.
Introduction: The changes in environments can lead to natural selection that may favor a trait that was not favored previously. The example is adult moths, which come in two different shades one is known as a peppered moth, and another is the melanic moth.

- What would happen to the relative frequencies of moth colors if environmental laws curtailed pollution and the tree bark went back to the pre-industrial color?

Eventually there would be relatively more light-colored moths.arrow_forwardSuppose that in wasps, brown wings are dominant to white wings, and 40% of all wasps in a population you’ve sampled have white wings. a.

- An allele of the G6PD gene acts in a recessive manner to cause sensitivity to fava beans, resulting in ahemolytic reaction (lysis of red blood cells) afteringestion of the beans. The same allele also confersdominant resistance to malaria. The heterozygote hasan advantage in a region where malaria is prevalent.Will the equilibrium frequency (qe) be the same foran African and a North American country? Whatfactors affect qe?arrow_forwardA researcher is studying two fly populations. Population A have stubbly bristles that are shorter and blunter than population B and are ebony coloured with black bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a certain allele for the stubble gene which affects bristle length and homozygous for the ebony gene which affects body colour. Population B have longer tapered bristles than population A and are not stubbly in appearance. They are not ebony and have brown bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a different gene that affects bristle length to population A and are homozygous for the gene that affects body colour. Table 1: F1 ebony flies - 0 F1 non-ebony flies - 560 F1 stubble flies - 560 F1 non-stubble flies - 0 Draw two separate Punnett Squares to illustrate the P1 cross - one for the stubbly alleles and one for the ebony alleles showing the individual gametes of each parent and the combination in the resulting F1 offspring.arrow_forwardA researcher studies two types of fly populations. Population A have stubby bristles which are both shorter and blunter than population B. This is because the flies are homozygous for a certain allele for the stubble gene which affects bristle length. These flies are ebony coloured with black bodies. This is because they are homozygous for a certain allele for the ebony gene that affects body colour. Population B have longer and tapered bristles than population A and are not stubbly in appearance. This is due to them being homozygous for a different allele for the gene that affects bristle length to population A. These flys are not ebony coloured and have brown bodies. This is due to them being homozygous for the gene that affects body colour. The researcher crosses parental flys (P1) from population A with those from population B and counts the number of offspring that have stubble and non-stubble bristles, and the number of offspring that are ebony-coloured and non-ebony-coloured…arrow_forward
