Homework Answers
Directional pattern of natural selection is being displayed in the gives images.
In this kind of selection, one extreme of the trait distribution experiences selection against it. This results in the population trait distribution to shift toward the other extreme.
For example, here in the given image, there was a natural selection against the light fur colored animals, thus the whole distribution shifted toward the darker fur colored phenotype.

5. Fur colour in mice is a single gene trait controled by two alleles. In a population of 75 mice, 21 are homozygous dominant, 37 are heterozygous dominant, and 17 are homozygous recessive. What is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population? Show all work and record your answer as a value between O and 1 rounded to two decimal places 6. The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the...

Part B - How does this research relate to your biology course? The following graph shows the frequency distribution of a heritable trait -- fur color -- in a hypothetical deer mouse population. The x-axis represents variation in fur color from light to dark. The y-axis represents the percentage of individuals in the population with each particular color of fur. 333 There are three ways in which natural selection can alter the frequency distribution of a heritable trait, such as...

The Kermode Spirit bear is an alternate phenotype of the species Ursus americanus (black bear) in British Columbia that has striking white fur. It was determined in 2001 that a single nucleotide change from G to A results in the replacement of Tyrosine with Cysteine at codon 289 in the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (mc1r; Ritland et al. 2001 Current Biology). This allele (W2) is recessive to the wildtype allele (W1), and occurs as a novel mutation in 1 out...
