Chapter 52.2, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The genetic basis for a behavior, in which all of the offspring produced by interbreeding of two individuals from different populations, resembles one of the parents.
Introduction:
Gene expression differs in populations, which live in different environment and it leads to changes in expression of a gene that codes for the same trait in separate populations. The environmental stimuli determine the expression level, and changes in single gene expression can affect the overall expression of a trait.

In corn, kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color (W) and by a recessive allele for yellow (w). A random sample of 152 kernels from a population that is in Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium reveals that 35 kernels are yellow and 117 kernels are white.
What is the frequency of individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype?

- f you had two guinea pigs of opposite sex, both homozygous, one black and one brown, but you didn't know which was the dominant characteristic, how would you find out the dominant color? Select one: a. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-the other will be the dominant color b. Mate them and see what color the offspring are-that will be the dominant color c. The dominant color could not be determined by mating the two, then mating their offspring; further generations would have to be produced to determine the dominant color d. Mate them together, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-the other color will be the dominant color e. Mate them, then mate their offspring to see what color the next generation is-that will be the dominant colorarrow_forwardA scientist is studying a wild population of Japanese morning glories. It is easy to separate genotypes at a flower color locus by their phenotypes. Red individuals are homozygous for the R allele, yellow individuals are homozygous for the Y allele, and orange individuals are heterozygous. If the number of individuals with the following genotypes are: RR: 831 RY: 33 YY: 442 Is the population in Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium?arrow_forwardYou find a population of 200 mice in which 32 of them display the recessive fur color. What is the genetic structure (the allelic and genotypic frequencies) in that population, with respect to fur color?arrow_forward
- The allele for long whiskers in mice is dominant over the allele for a short whiskers. In a population of 500 individuals, 25% show the recessive phenotype. How many mice would you expect to be homozygous dominant and heterozygous for the trait?arrow_forwardGive two example of out-breeding?arrow_forwardThe graph below shows values for body size in parents and offspring. The data shown are consistent with which of the following situations. ANSWER CHOICES A. variation in body size is completely due to variation in the environment (heritability is 0) B. most of the variation in body size is due to variation in the environment but there is a small effect of genes (heritability is around 0.2) C. variation in body size is completely due to variation in genes (heritability is 1.0) D. most of the variation in body size is due to variation in genes but there is some effect of the environment (heritability is about 0.8)arrow_forward
- If recessive alleles were beneficial, would this promote the evolution of selfing? Describe why or why not.arrow_forwardBlue snorks are dominant to pink snorks. You come across a field of all blue snorks and mate them with a pink snork. The resulting progeny are all blue again. What are the most likely genotypes of the snorks from the field? Select one: a. Heterozygous for the dominant allele. b. Homozygous for the dominant allele. c. Homozygous for the recessive allele.arrow_forwardIn corn, kernel color is governed by a dominant allele for white color (W) and by a recessive allele for yellow (w).

- In some cases, males or females do care for young of their own species that are not their own, as when certain male fish take over and protect egg masses being brooded by other males or when female ducks acquire ducklings that have just left someone else’s nest. Propose alternative hypotheses to explain this phenomenon. Under what circumstances might adoptions actually raise the caregiver’s reproductive success? Under what other circumstances might adopters help nongenetic offspring as a cost of achieving some other goal? Don't write from any online source..arrow_forwardSuppose in a certain population there are 100 individuals homozygous for the A1 allele, 400 individuals homozygous for the A2 allele, and 500 heterozygous individuals. What are the genotype frequencies? What are the allele frequencies?arrow_forwardbiology (genetics) : Coat color in a given strain of dogs is determined by two independent genes. A dominant gene (D) determines white coat, and its recessive alleles (d) gives colored coat. In the presence of the homozygous recessive dd the coat color is black due to the presence of another dominant gene (B), or brown due to its recessive allele (b). Assuming a random mating population of dogs had the following phenotypic distribution: 448 white, 168 black, and 84 brown, find the frequency of each gene in the population.arrow_forward
