Summary Introduction

To Determine: The impact of genotype on phenotype.

Introduction: Genes are the nucleotide sequences on the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that express to form various proteins and factors. The different or variant forms of a gene are called alleles. Multiple alleles are formed from the wild-type alleles during the evolution of the organisms. This helped in the selection of fit species that can survive and reproduce further.

Recall that the Hardy-Weinberg model makes the following assumptions: No mutations Extremely large population No gene flow No selection You score flower colour in a very large natural population where flower colour is a co-dominant trait where white and red are homozygotes (CWCW and CRCR) and pink are heterozygotes (CWCR). Taking your observed phenotypes and genotypes, you apply the Hardy-Weinberg principle and find an excess of homozygous individuals (that is, individuals with either white or red flowers). Give two plausible explanations for this excess of homozygotes in the natural population.
To analyze: Imagine the length of the maize ears which has narrow sense heritability (h²) of 0.70 A population yields ears that have an average length of 28 cm, and a breeder selects a plant harvesting 0.70 cm ears from this population and cross by self-fertilization. Find the expected selection differential (S) and the response to selection (R) for this cross.
Please answer fast Which of the following are true about the logic we use to identify alleles under positive selection at a given locus?   Question 3 options:   Alleles under positive selection should occur at relatively high frequency.   An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of genetic drift is likely to be a "young allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently.   An allele that occurs at relatively high frequency because of positive selection is likely to be an "old allele," which means it arose by mutation relatively recently.   "Old alleles" are likely to be in linkage disequilibrium with nearby loci. "Young alleles" are likely to be in linkage equilibrium with nearby loci.   Consider what we now know about the tree of life. Which of the following statements are true?   Question 8 options:   Archaea is paraphyletic.   Archaea and bacteria together form a monophyletic clade.   There are three monophyletic domains of life: eukaryotes, archaea, and…
