Hardy Weinberg Lab Answer Key

This document discusses microevolution and macroevolution through examples of genetic drift, natural selection, and changes in allele frequencies in populations over multiple generations. It provides examples of allele frequencies in populations, simulations showing changes in genotypes after 100 generations under different conditions, and discusses how natural selection and random genetic drift can impact which alleles persist in a population over time.

1.

changes in allele proportions within a population

2. microevolution is the process of change, macro is the resulting pattern of


change

3.
● the population is sufficiently (large) *the simulator leaves off the last
work
● no migration
● no mutations
● mating is random
● genotypes are equally fit

4.
mechanism description
1 genetic drift chance events change the proportions
2 migration introduction of new alleles
3 mutation changes in DNA that change allele proportions
4 selection survival or mating success changes
proportions
5 Non-random mating individuals choose mates based on
preferences

5. cereal crops, broccoli, wolves (dogs)

6. solid red, solid white, mottled (red and white)

7. Frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (RR) p2=.25


Frequency of heterozygous genotype (Rr) 2pq =.50
Frequency of homozygous recessive genotype (rr) = q2=.25
8.
Frequency of dominant allele (R) =.43
Frequency of recessive allele (r) =.57
Frequency of homozygous recessive genotype (rr) =.32
Frequency of heterozygous genotype (Rr) =.5
Frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (RR) =.18

9.
Frequency of dominant allele (R) p=.3
Frequency of recessive allele (r) q=.7
Frequency of homozygous recessive genotype (rr) q2=.49
Frequency of heterozygous genotype (Rr) 2pq =.42
Frequency of homozygous recessive genotype (RR) = p2=.09

10.
Frequency of dominant allele (R) p=.25
Frequency of recessive allele (r) q=.75
Frequency of homozygous recessive genotype (rr) q2=.55
Frequency of heterozygous genotype (Rr) 2pq =.4
Frequency of homozygous dominant genotype (RR) = q2=.05

11.This is not at equilibrium, the proportion of R alleles is much lower.

12. Alleles are just reshuffled through each generation, the low starting R
allele will stay low.

13.
Proportion of rr Genotype after 100 generations .31
Proportion of Rr Genotype after 100 generations .54
Proportion of RR Genotype after 100 generations .16

14. the ability to survive


15.
Proportion of rr Genotype after 100 generations .03
Proportion of Rr Genotype after 100 generations .32
Proportion of RR Genotype after 100 generations .66

16. The allele exists in the population and can be passed down to the next
generation.

17. the allele exists in the population, if two heterozygous parents got
together, 25% of offspring is white

18. If a random event killed all the individuals that had the r allele, then it would
be eliminated from the population. Also possible that it could be eliminated due to
mate preference, but only if heterozygous were selected against.

19. Natural selection can change the frequency of alleles in the population.
Organisms with the greatest fitness are more likely to survive and pass their
alleles to the next generation.

20. In the simulations I ran, most of the fish became orange and the frequency of
the r allele dropped to near zero. Students might propose that assortative mating
refers to some kind of mate choice of preference.
