Question
Imagine that there is a recessive allele (g) in kinkajous that causes yellow eyes in homozygous (gg) individuals, while GG or Gg individuals have green-colored eyes. The frequency of individuals with yellow eyes is 0.16 in a population. If there are 10,000 kinkajous in this population, and the population b in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the actual number of Gg heterozygotes in this population? You must show your work for credit and circle the correct answer below: Describe (in a paragraph) one kind of observation that Darwin made during his voyage on the Beagle that helped shape his thinking about biological evolution. Define natural selection.Explanation / Answer
Q5) d. 4800
frequecency of homozygotes of recessive allele (q2)= 0.16
Frequency of recessive allele (q) = 0.4
Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 1-0.4= 0.6
frequecency of homozygotes (2pq) = 2 * 0.4 * 0.6
=0 .48=48%
48% heterozugtes out of 10000 individuals= 4800
Q6).
During his voyage on the Beagle, Darwin made many observations that helped him develop his theory of evolution. There are three general kinds of observations that Darwin made during the voyage of the Beagle.
a. The diversity of living thing,
b. The remains if ancient organism
c. Characteristic of organisms on the Galapagos islands.
He experienced selective breeding with pigeons and he concluded his hypothesis. Individual Galápagos Islands differ from one another in important ways. Some are rocky and dry. Others have better soil and more rainfall. Darwin noticed that the plants and animals on the different islands also differed.
Q7a).
Naturalselection: a process resulting in the survival of those individuals from apopulation of animals or plants that are best adapted to the prevailingenvironmental conditions. The survivors tend to produce more offspringthan those less well adapted, so that the characteristics of thepopulation change over time, thus accounting for the process of evolution.
