Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

A selective agent is the ambient trait that determines the differential survival of the phenotypic classes.

  • Fitness or aptitude (W) is the biological efficiency. Is the relative reproductive success of a genotype against the rest of genotypes. It might vary between cero and one. It is the resulting phenotype from the survival of a specific genotype, its fertility and its ability to find a partner. It is a statistical measure of the ability to leave offspring. Alleles in a population show different fitness or aptitude, w.
  • The selection coefficient (s) is the selection magnitude against a homozygote. This is, s = 1 - w

In the exposed example, allele 1 refers to the genotype AA, while allele 2 refers to the genotype aa.

  • The frequency of the genotype AA is 0.7
  • The frequency of the genotype aa is 0.3
  • The selection coefficient of the genotype AA is 0.2

If s = 1 - w, to calculate the fitness of the AA genotype, we can clear the ecuation. This is:

s = 1 - w

0.2 = 1 - w

w = 1 - 0.2

w = 0.8

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

There is a population where the frequencies of allele 1 and allele 2 are 0.7 and 0.3, respectively

Let's use GG to represent allele 1

Let's use gg to represent allele 2

So we can equally say that;

GG = p = 0.7

gg = q  = 0.3   ( from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium)

So, given that the selection coefficient = 0.2

We known that the cross between GG and gg will definitely results to (GG,Gg and gg)

Then the fitness of these genes can be represented as:

1 - s, 1 and 1 - t respectively.

Thus. the allele 1's genotype fitness can be determined as

= 1 - s    ( where s is the selection coefficient)

= 1 - 0.2

= 0.8

Answer:

D Independent assortment occurs when chromosomes separate during meiosis and causes variations that can be beneficial or harmful to a species

Explanation:

During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and segregate independently of each other. This process is referred to as 'independent assortment'. In consequence, different gene variants or 'alleles' localized in homologous chromosomes segregate independently of each other during gamete formation, thereby one particular gamete has an equal probability to carry either of these segregating alleles. Independent assortment generates genetic variation in the gametes, which can be beneficial or deleterious in a given environment.
