QUESTION 5 In a population of finches undergoing roughly directional selection on the gene A, the fitness of AlAl individuals is 08, A1A2 individuals is 1, and A2A2 individuals is 1. The initial frequency of each allele is 0.5. What will be the new frequency of Al after one generation of selection? O A-0.526 O B. OC.o.5 OD.0.474

Answer #1

In directional selection process natural selection occurs in which is fit in those both conditions that will select, therefore homologous dominants or homologous recessive will select, by given discribtion A1 is recessive allele, which means A1 have less frequency that is 0.474

    1. Fixation of Dominant Alleles Start with a population that has a gene with two alleles (A and a) with classical Mendelian dominance that are at equal frequency (p0.5. q 0.5). Assume this first generation is at hardy Weinberg equilibrium. Calculate the genotype frequencies AA- a. Aa b. Now assume some environmental change that makes the recessive phenotype completely unfit (fitness- 0). Calculate the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in the second generation. (Hint: Your calculations might be easier if...

    In a population of mice a particular locus has two alleles A1 (dominant) and A2 (recessive). There are 126 A1A1, 167 A1A2 and 88 A2A2. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (3 pts)? In a population of Gragons, there are 3151 A1A1, 1678 A1A2 and 2014 A2A2 individuals. If the environment changes so that the homozygous recessive genotype suffers a reduction of fitness where its fitness is now 0.73, but the other genotypes are unaffected, what will be the frequency...

    In the case of directional selection, if the advantageous allele (b) is recessive and a less advantageous allele (B) is dominant: A. b will be lost in the population because the dominant allele will increase in frequency by natural selection B. b will increase in frequency at the same speed as if it was a dominant advantageous allele, because what matters is the coefficient of selection and not if the allele is dominant or recessive C. b will increase in...

    Question 1: Antibiotics are effective against a population of bacteria. However, you observe a new resistance allele arises in the bacteria population. You observe the fitness of the mutant is 1% higher than the wild type and the population size (N) of the bacteria is 106. A) How long does it take for the resistance allele to reach fixation? Hint: The fixation time is defined as the time from a single copy of the resistance allele (1/N) to near fixation...

    1. A particular gene in a given population of individuals has two alleles, A and a. The frequency of the A allele equals the frequency of the a allele. What are the expected genotype frequencies, assuming the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? AA = 0.5, aa = 0.5 AA = 0.25, Aa = 0.50, aa = 0.25 O A = 0.5, a = 0.5 The answer cannot be determined because the allele frequencies are not provided.
