Around a pond, there is a small population of turtles. Some of them have solid dark brown shells and some of them have yellow an

d brown shells with yellow spots. Spotted shells are dominant over solid shells. Six of the turtles are homozygous for the spotted shells, four are heterozygous and two are homozygous for the solid shells.
1. How many total alleles are there in this particular gene pool?

2. How many dominant alleles are there? Recessive?

3. Calculate the allele frequency for the dominant and the recessive allele.


4. If over time, due to a change in the environment, the solid dark brown shells became the advantageous color, what would likely happen to the frequencies of the gene pool?

5. If the allele frequency of a particular trait is 100 percent, describe the genetic variation for that trait in the population.

Answer:

1. 2 alleles, solid brown and spotted

2. 1 dominant, spotted, and one recessive, solid

3. Dominant: 16/24  Recessive: 8/24. Spotted- R, solid, r. There are 6 RR, 4 Rr and 2 rr.

4. It would slowly become more common and common. When a spotted and a solid pairs, its still most likely that the offspring will be spotted, however as most spotted die the number of spotted getting offsprings decrease.

5. No genetic variation, everyone in the population has that trait

Which option describes a condition required for natural selection to occur?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

You need to know the conditions required for natural selection to occur. These include: overproduction of offspring, inherited variation, and the struggle to survive, which result in differential reproductive success. You need to understand genetic drift and gene flow

Chemical bonding please help!
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

A chemical bond is a lasting attraction between atoms, ions or molecules that enables the formation of chemical compounds. The bond may result from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions as in ionic bonds or through the sharing of electrons as in covalent bonds.

Suppose the fictional condition lycanthropy is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes an affected person to have a strong ph
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Sperm undergo more mitotic cellular divisions than egg and therefore have a higher risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.  

Explanation:

As you have seen in the question above, lycanthropy is a mutation that is more likely to be established as the supply of male gametes comes from older men. This is because sperm undergo more mitotic cell divisions than eggs, and therefore are at greater risk of developing a spontaneous mutation.

In order for you to understand this, you need to know that eggs (which are female gametes) are produced at once in a woman's body. Thus, cell division is limited and therefore the opportunity for spontaneous mutations to occur is also limited. However, men produce sperm from adolescence to death, creating the need for countless cell divisions, which can develop genetic errors that create spontaneous mutations in gametes.

Monkeys in the New World (the Americas) have prehensile tails, strong flexible tails that grip branches and operate much like an
Rudiy27

Answer:

The terms old world and the new world are used in the context of history and for the prime objective of differentiating the major ecozones found on the planet. This also helps in categorizing various species of plants and animals that originated in different places and times.  

In terms of old and new, Old World signifies to Asia, Europe, and Africa, on the other hand, the New World signifies towards the Americas that comprise South America, North America, and Central America. The New World monkeys possess prehensile tails, while the Old World monkeys don't. This suggests that the prehensile tail originated in the monkeys found in the New World, primarily after the separation of the Americas from Asia and Africa.
