Chapter 22.2, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason due to which the reproductive isolation is partial rather than complete, assuming that the reproductive isolation in phlox is observed because of lethal combinations of incompatible alleles at several loci among the various strains.
Introduction:
In early years, the biologists collected sample of seeds of newly found species of phlox. They distributed these species in nurseries in Europe. These nurseries found more than 200 breeding strains of phlox. These strains differed in flower size, color, and growth of plant. The reproductive isolations were not seen initially but after some subsequent experiments, reproductive isolations were observed.
The incompatibility was seen when the strains were crossed and seed production was measured and compared. The biologists found that reproductive compatibility fell down to 15–60%. This decrease was found due to crossing of the strains, which were isolated.

The diagram below represents results of agarose gel electrophoresis performed after PCR amplification of a molecular marker in diploid organisms. Answer the following questions: a) How many individuals are homozygous and how many are heterozygous?
b) How many alleles are there in this population?
Assume that in a Hardy-Weinberg population, 9% of the individuals are of the homozygous Tecessive phenotyne. What percentage of the individuals would be expected to be heterozygous? What percentage homozygous dominent?
900 bacteria had two recessive alleles out of a total of every 10,000 bacteria. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation(s), determine the frequency of the recessive and dominant alleles.

- Which of the following are true statements regarding linkage disequilibrium? Please select all that apply. Low recombination rate favors linkage disequilibrium. Alleles at two loci are found together more frequently than could be explained by chance. Alleles don't have to be physically linked in order to be in linkage disequilibrium.

- Imagine you have a VERY large garden consisting of thousands of red-flowered individuals (recessive homozygotes rr) and just a few dozen white-flowered plants (genotypes either RR or Rr) of the same species. The garden is isolated from all other flower populations.

Your sequencing study revealed 20 individuals with genotype AA, 70 individuals with genotype Aa and 110 individuals with genotype aa. i) what are your theoretical expectations for the number of individuals with each genotype if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. ii) Based on the genotype counts observed, is there evidence that this population of fruit flies deviates from your theoretical expectations under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?arrow_forwarda) Briefly give a reason, besides anything that requires you to invoke natural selection, why a researcher might detect significant LD between many pairs of unlinked loci ín their study species that can only reproduce sexually? b) When comparing species of plants that can only reproduce sexually and that have the same rate of recombination per bp, give a likely reason for why the distance along a chromosome out to which average is >0.3 (to pick an arbitrary level of LD) can be much greater in one species than in the other?arrow_forward
- A conservation biologist studied four generations of a population of rare Ethiopian jackals. When the study began, there were 47 jackals in the population, and microsatellite analysis showed a heterozygosity of 0.55. In the second generation, an outbreak of distemper occurred in the population, and only 17 animals survived to adulthood. These jackals produced 20 surviving offspring, which in turn gave rise to 35 progeny in the fourth generation. a) What was the effective population size for the four generations of this study? b) Based on its effective population size (use the rounded off value you obtained in a), what is the heterozygosity of the jackal population in generation 4 (t=4)? c) What is the inbreeding coefficient in generation 4, assuming an inbreeding coefficient of F = O at the beginning of the study (t=1), no change in microsatellite allele frequencies in the gene pool, and random mating in all generations?arrow_forwardAssume an ideal diploid population of size 2N=32 (Just like the Buri Drosophila drift experiment with 16 individuals, or 32 gene copies, every generation). a) What is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 16 copies will CHANGE BY FEWER than 2 copies in the next generation? Be sure you understand that this includes cases where the number of copies remains unchanged, as well as the cases (plural!) where the magnitude of change between generations is one. b) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift? c) In the same population, what is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 2 copies will change by fewer than 2 copies (same meaning as above) in the next generation? d) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift?arrow_forwardIn another population, linkage disequilibrium was calculated to be D = 0.15, and the recombination rate between loci was r = 0.10.
