What can be the reason(s) for a change in allele and genotype frequencies in a population?
Please list at leat four separate reasons, with a brief explanation.
What is the ultimate source of new alleles?
Mutation- change in sequence of gene and so alter function
Immigration- it also add new allele to population
Emigration - it removes existing allele with going population
Variation- variation come due to geographic barrier ,mutat mut ,envi environmental condition etc.
genetic drift and bottle neck effect is also responsible for change in allele frequencies .
Ultimate sources of new allele is natural selection which act on all above point.

2. Which of the following correctly describes how inbreeding will affect genotype and allele frequencies in Hardy-Weinberg populations? Genotype and allele frequencies will be unaffected. The frequency of heterozygotes will decrease, but allele frequencies will be unaffected. The frequency of homozygotes will increase, and deleterious alleles will decrease. Beneficial alleles will increase in frequency, as well as the genotypes containing those alleles. Genotype frequencies will return to H-W expectations after 1 generation of random mating. 3. Consider a population with...
1a. What are the genotype frequencies and allele frequencies in a population with 20 AA genotypes, 25 AB genotypes, and 5 BB genotypes? 1b. What is the chance that you are a carrier for a given trait, if allele "A" is 20% and allele "a" is 80%?
a. What is the effect of inbreeding on allele frequencies in a population? b. What is the effect of inbreeding on genotype frequencies? In an inbred population, what effect would you expect to see in regard to rare recessive diseases?
QUESTION 9 Given the following genotype frequencies what is the overall frequency of the D allele in this population? Genotype Genotype Frequency 0.81 DD Dd 0.18 dd 0,01 QUESTION 10 The distribution of genotypes in the following random mating population corresponds to the expectations of the Hardy-Weinberg principle Genotype Genotype Frequency 0.81 DD Dd 0.18 dd 0.01 True False
Population geneticists study what aspects of a population? Select one: a. Genetic variation b. Allele frequencies c. Genotype frequencies d. All of these choices are correct
Mutations can change allele proportions. The new allele frequency was 0.0 but is now >0.0. 1) Keep the evolutionary parameters all at 0 except for the ‘Mutation rate', change this to 0.01 for R the 'Initial ‘R'Allele Proportion' to 0.5. Let the experiment run for –500 generations and record yo results. Q3. Use your results to explain the effect of mutation on the allele frequencies in the populatio time. 197 Population Size Generations 501 Population Size Proportion R allele 0.26...
In a population of Mendel's garden peas, the frequency of the dominant A (purple flower) allele is 80%. Letp represent the frequency of the A allele and q represent the frequency of the a allele. Assuming that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what are the genotype frequencies? A. 16% AA, 40 % Aa, 44 % aa B. 80% AA, 10 % Aa, 10 % aa C. 50 % AA , 25 % As , 25 % aa * E....
The occurrence of the NN blood group genotype in the US population is 1 in 400, consider NN as the homozygous recessive genotype in this population. You sample 1,000 individuals from a large population for the MN blood group, which can easily be measured since co-dominance is involved (i.e., you can detect the heterozygotes). They are typed accordingly: BLOOD TYPE GENOTYPE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS RESULTING FREQUENCY M MM 490 0.49 MN MN 420 0.42 N NN 90 0.09 Using the...
You are studying a population of milkweeds and you find the following allele frequencies: f(A1A1) = 0.36 f(A1A2) = 0.48 f(A2A2) = 0.16 If the fitness of the heterozygote (w12) is 0.9 and the average fitness of the population is 0.916, what do we expect the new frequency of the heterozygote genotype to be in the next generation?
For the four evolutionary processes below, indicate: how they affect allele and genotype frequencies within a population, whether or not these effects are random, and how they affect differentiation between populations.
