in order for a population to remain in hardy-weinberg equilibrium, mating must be random. what would happen to the genotypic and

phenotypic frequencies if individuals were more likely to mate with others that shared their phenotype?

If the assumption of random matings is not accomplished, and individuals  mate by similar phenotype, the involved phenotype and the h0m0zyg0us genotypes would increase their frequencies.

----------------

If individuals in a population were more likely to mate with others that shared their phenotype, the <u>genotypic</u><u> </u>and <u>phenotypic frequencies</u> would change.

The assumption of random mating would not be accomplished, because individuals would rather mate with other individuals that look like them.

This is known as <u><em>matings</em></u><u><em> by </em></u><u><em>similar phenotype</em></u>.

Individuals with similar phenotypes in a certain characteristic are more likely to mate than expected matings by chance.

Individuals choose partners with phenotypes similar to their own.

Allelic frequencies do not change. However, mating by similar phenotype will cause,

  • Disequilibrium in the gametic phase

  • Increase in h0m0zyg0us genotypes at heter0zyg0us expense in loci that determine the selected trait.

  • Separation of the population into genetically distinct subgroups

concerning the involved loci.

  • Increase in the phenotypic frequency.

Matings by similar phenotype might be an important factor in the process speciation, leading to evolution.

So, if individuals were more likely to mate with others that shared their phenotype, the phenotypic frequency would increase as well as the h0m0zyg0us genotypes.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Number of bacteria required = 20000

Explanation:

Given -

Size of each bacterium = 3 micrometers long

These bacteria are arranged end to end.

The size of chain to be formed is equal to 6 centimetres

Let us say that in forming a chain of 6 centimetres nearly X number of individual bacterium are required.

hence, number of bacterium required to form 6 centimetres  chain can be represented as

X = \frac{6 * 10000}{3} \\X = 20000

Number of bacteria required = 20000

In a particular population of mice, certain individuals display a phenotype called "short tail," which is inherited as a dominan
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The "short tail" dominant allele is easier to eliminate by selective breeding.

Explanation:

The only way for a recessive allele to be expressed (be visible) is when it appears as recessive homozygotic. These means the organisms need to have 2 copies of the gene. Selective breeding is based on the characteristics that one can see, so if the organism shows the "dilute" phenotype you can keep reproducing this individuals and get rid of the dominant allele.

On the other hand if you have a population with the dominant phenotype, you discard all the ones that have a recessive trait and you breed the dominant phenotype you could still get individuals with the recessive phenotype and individuals that express the dominant phenotype but are heterozygous.
