  • 0.5 A1, 0.5 A2
  • 0.6 A1, 0.4 A2

Question 2

Question

Question 3

Question
In a sample from a population there are: 400 A1 A1, 400 A1A2, and 200 A2A2 individuals. Is this population in genetic equilibrium?
Answer
  • Yes, because the genotype frequencies are 0.4 A1 A1, 0.4 A1A2, and 0.2 A2A2
  • Yes, because the allele frequencies sum to 1.
  • Probably not, because there are fewer heterozygotes than expected.
  • Probably not, because there are fewer homozygotes than expected.

Question 5

Question

Question 6

Question
In a sample the following phenotypes of snail shell color were observed: 230 Brown (BB), 740 Pink (BW), 30 Cream (WW). Is the population in genetic equilibrium?
Answer

  • No, because there are more homozygotes than expected.
  • No, because there are more heterozygotes than expected.

Question 7

Question
In a sample from a large population there are: 6 A1 A1, 8 A1A2, and 6 A2A2 individuals. Is this population in genetic equilibrium?
Answer
  • Yes, because the allele frequencies are 0.5 A1 and 0.5 A2.
  • No, because there are more heterozygotes than expected.

Question 13

Question
Cotton‐topped tamarins are small primates with tufts of long white hair on their heads.

To test the hypothesis that having longer hair is adaptive in these males, you should:
Answer
  • Test whether other traits in these males are also adaptive
