L26 Population genetics: variation in space and time
Descrição
• Calculate genotype frequencies using Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
• Identify that random genetic drift occurs rapidly in small populations.
• Explain how populations evolve over time in response to selection.
Allele frequencies in a [blank_start]population[blank_end] remain [blank_start]constant[blank_end] over time unless acted upon by evolutionary [blank_start]forces[blank_end].
Responda
population
constant
forces
Questão 2
Questão
Which of these is not an assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Responda
Large population size
No natural selection
No mating
No mutations
No migration
Questão 3
Questão
The frequency of alleles can be calculated by:
Responda
p + q = 100
p + q = 1
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p^2 + pq + q^2 = 100
Questão 4
Questão
The genotypic frequency can be calculated by:
Responda
p^2 + pq + q^2 = 1
pq^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p1^2 + p + q = 1
Questão 5
Questão
1 in 2500 children are born with the recessive disease cystic fribrosis. What proportion of the population are carriers of this disease?
Responda
0.0004
0.02
0.98
0.0392
Questão 6
Questão
Genetic drift is a change in allele [blank_start]frequencies[blank_end] due to random, [blank_start]non[blank_end] natural selection events.
Responda
frequencies
non
Questão 7
Questão
Stabilising selection [blank_start]reduces[blank_end] variation but [blank_start]doesn't[blank_end] change the mean. Directional selection [blank_start]changes[blank_end] the mean value toward an [blank_start]extreme[blank_end]. Disruptive selection [blank_start]favours[blank_end] the two extremes, and often leads to [blank_start]speciation[blank_end].
Responda
reduces
increases
doesn't
extreme
changes
favours
speciation
extinction
