Although selection operates against deleterious alleles in populations, they are rarely lost from these populations. For example

, most deleterious recessive alleles in population have equilibrium q values slightly above 0. Why might that be?

Answer:

Deleterious alleles appear sporadically in a population

Explanation:

A population with a deleterious allele will have no or few individuals that have the ability to pass along these traits. These alleles appear less in a population because of selective pressure but they are not always absent. The alleles appear less often but are are not always passed on and the others that are genetically fit are able to pass along their genes. The reason the population equilibrium is not zero is because these alleles do appear but they are not necessarily passed along. These individuals may not be able to reproduce or reach the age of reproduction.

Deleterious alleles appear more often, making individuals less fit genetically, i.e. they pass fewer copies of their genes to future generations. Put another way, natural selection purges the deleterious alleles.

Estimating Population Size – Review the two approaches to estimating population size and answer the following questions.
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

b) there are 56 deer in 1000 acres of area.

Explanation:

If a person has 1000 aces of land and a local wildlife biologist tell him that on every 18 acres only one deer is present so in 1000 acres there are 56 deer are present.

calculation;

1 deer ------ 18 acres

x --------- 1000 acres

by cross multiplication, we get

18 x = 1000

both side divided by 18, we get

x = 55.5

by rounding off we get

x = 56

Hamilton’s rule states that:
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Hamilton rules state that any trait that helps in benefiting others, B, is multiplied by genetic relatedness, R, which is greater than cot to self, C, it is favored by the process of natural selection.

As indicated by Hamilton's rule, the kin selection makes qualities increment in recurrence when the hereditary relatedness of a beneficiary to an actor multiplied by the advantage to the beneficiary is more noteworthy than the regenerative expense to the actor.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
