Question 8 Answer is a. The incorrect statement is that sexual selection operates only on males because they are the ones that compete and females are the 'choosy' ones.
Question 9. Answer is 0.55
No. of 'A' alleles= 30*2 + 50*1 + 0 = 110
Total of alleles= 30*2 + 50*2 + 20*2 = 200
Frequency of allele A = No. of 'A' alleles/Total no of alleles
= 110/200
= 0.55

5 Suppose that you have a large population (>100,000 individuals). At a neutral locus in this population, the allele frequencies are freq(A1) = 0.25, freq(A2) = 0.75. You sample that population to form 100 sub-populations of 20 individuals each. Over the next 40 generations, all these sub-populations go to fixation at that locus. Approximately how many go to fixation for allele A1 vs. allele A2? 75 at A1, 25 at A2 50 at A1, 50 at A2 25 at A1,...

Question 3 1 pts Which of the following is TRUE about coalescent theory? The coalescent point represents the origin point of a particular allele Loci that are under directional selection exhibit shorter coalescent times than neutral loci in the same population The coalescence time can be used to calculate the mutation rate for a locus O Coalescence times will be shorter in larger populations Question 4 1 pts In a very large population of plants, 50% of AA individuals survive...

Question 19 1 pts Which of the following is NOT true about traits affected by more than one gene? The combination of selection and recombination due to sexual reproduction can produce new, more extreme phenotypes not previously seen in the population When a phenotype is dependent on the interaction between two genes, and is not just the sum of their effects independently, this is called an epistatic interaction The effects of selection on one trait never influence the trait values...

Question 37 1 pts Which of the following is true about bisexuality? Bisexual persons are often stigmatized by gay men, lesbian women, and heterosexual individuals. Bisexual persons typically have had approximately the same number of male and female partners. It is not a sexual orientation as against popular belief. It is almost always a transitional orientation before identifying as gay or lesbian.
