Question

3. Lets return to the snail example of inbreeding from class. Lets say now that we start with a population that has 75% heterozygotes and 25% homozygotes for one of the two alleles (e.g. 25% A1A. 75% AAc). We see that heterozygosity decreases in frequency in the population over time, due to the complete selfing of hermaphroditic snails. Lets also say that the population starts at 800 individuals and stays that way over each generation (i.e. population size is fixed at 800). A. How many generations will it take to reach a population that is fully homozygous? Assume that your starting population is generation 0. (3 pts.) B. What is the inbreeding coefficient (F) at generation O, with 600 heterozygotes? What is it at generation 5? What is it when there are no longer heterozygotes? (3 pts.)

    need help with this .. From the pages 571-587 attached below. 1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite resistant genotype that spreads through the population through natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this host parasite “arms race”.? 1b) What is this name...
