Resumo de Recurso

Questão 1

Questão
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
