Imagine that you are a conservation biologist responsible for the well-being of a bufello herd consistingof 100 mature males and 100 mature females. In this herd, there is no appreciable mutation, there isno migration in or out, and there is no selection. At the Fuzzy gene locus, there are two alleles, G and E.Homozygous G individuals have fuzzy fur, homozygous E individuals have rough fur, and heterozygoteshave shaggy fur. Suppose you survey the herd and find that there are 44 fuzzy individuals, 72 shaggyindividuals, and 84 rough individuals.a)What is the size of the population?b)Do the alleles have a simple dominance relationship? Describe.c)What are the frequencies of the two alleles?d)Is the population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?If not, how do you know, and what might be the cause?

Suppose you watch the buffalo and discover that while all the females breed, a small number of males(10) establish breeding harems, while the other males do not breed.a) What is the effective population size of this herd? That is, what size "ideal" population ofbalanced sex ratio would have genetics similar to this population?b)How does the effective population size compare to the actual population size?c) Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what…
A farmer is raising rabbits. The average body weight in his population ofrabbits is 3 kg. The farmer selects the 10 largest rabbits in his population,whose average body weight is 4 kg, and interbreeds them. If the narrowsenseheritability of body weight in the rabbit population is 0.7, what is theexpected body weight among the offspring of the selected rabbits?
Which of these statements is true for a highly inbred population, if there are no other violations of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? O Frequency of homozygous individuals increases, yet frequency of alleles does not change. O None of the above are true. O Frequency of heterozygotes increases, and frequency of alleles changes. O Frequency of homozygous individuals decreases, yet frequency of alleles does not change.
In a populationof manatees, short whiskers are recessive to long whiskers. There are estimated to be only 4387 manatee left in the world. Of these, 827 have short whiskers. What is the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals?
A population of white-tailed deer inhabits a certain patch of forest in Michigan. Which group of alleles can be considered the gene pool of those deer? All alleles of the white-tailed deer in this population only. The dominant alleles of all white-tailed deer. O The dominant alleles of the white-tailed deer in this population only. O All of the allleles for all the organisms living in the forest.
If the methuselah gene overall has lower reproductive success, why does it persist in many wild populations? there is mutation selection balance it is beneficial in warm environments there is heterozygous advantage O it is harmful in cold environments
Which of the following forms of reproductive isolation illustrates a prezygotic barrier to gene flow? O Species A forms hybrids with species B and the hybrids are able to breed back with either of the two parent species to produce healthy fertile offspring. O Two closely related birds, the lazuli bunting and indigo bunting, sing similar songs to attract mates and even though human ears can not distinguish them the females never make wrong choices in choosing who to mate with. O Two species of turtles living in a large lake have different ecological requirements and never interact. O Several species of corrals in a Honduras corral reef release gametes about the same time but inter- specific attraction of gametes does not occur. O All but one of these illustrates a type of prezygotic barrier to gene flow.
Color blindness in humans is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. Ten percent of the males of a large andrandomly mating population are color-blind. A representative group of 1000 people from this population migrates to a South Pacific island, where there are already1000 inhabitants and where 30 percent of the males arecolor-blind. Assuming that Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium applies throughout (in the two original populationsbefore the migration and in the mixed population immediately after the migration), what fraction of malesand females can be expected to be color-blind in the generation immediately after the arrival of the migrants?
Skin colour in dolphins is determined by a single gene showingincomplete dominance giving rise to 3 phenotypes Brown, Pink &White. A survey of a large population of dolphins was carried outand the phenotypes recorded. However a student who had some.of the data stored on their phone fell overboard and unfortunatelythe data was lost. The only data saved was that the brownhomozygous dominants (BB) were 64% of the population.a) What would be the percentage of pink heterozygotes and whitehomozygotes?b) What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the nextgeneration of dolphins in this population will contain the b allele?
In a large, randomly mating population of frogs, the frequency of the allele for silver skin (s) is 0.04. The results of studies have shown that frogs with the given genotypes produce the average numbers of offspring shown in the table. h = Which of these will likely occur in future generations. Genotype O Both alleles will increase in frequency The s allele will decrease in frequency O The S allele will decrease in frequency Genotypes will no longer be in Hardy-Weinberg proportions because of selection. SS S.s SS Offspring produced 12 If the relative fitnesses of SS, Ss, and ss can be written as 1, 1- hs, 1-s, what is the dominance coefficient (h) of the s allele? 10 4
As climate change becomes a growing problem, studies are conducted to under the im- pacts on wildlife. Data collected from a population of tawny owls in Finland shows that there are more brown individuals in recent years. Which of the following statements suggests the most likely cause for this change in the population? The genes that express brown feather color are being naturally selected as predators capture and eat less light gray owls that are less camouflaged in an environment that has less snow. The genes that express brown feather color are being naturally selected as predators capture and eat fewer brown owls that are less camouflaged in an environment that has less snow.
