400 ind. p^2 = .49, 2pq=.42, and q^2=.09 how many will be heterozygous

400x.42= 168

so 168

Selection

The same lizard species live in two different areas and a new mountain range separates the two and they eventually become re productively isolated. Which occured?

Allopatric speciation

One species of frog lives and breeds along the edges of major rivers, while a closely related species stays high up in the rainforest canopy. Which isolation barrier is this? 

habitat isolation

1000 flowers, 360 are white(ww), what frequency is the dominant allele(W)?

1. rec. allele frequency: 0.36

2. sqrt  of 0.36 equals 0.60

3. 1-0.60= 0.40

Answer: 0.40

Temporal

Compare protein sequence of genes across 3 different species according to the number of amino acid differences as followed, which shows the greatest difference to spongebob?

Butterflies vs. apes: 27 differences

Butterflies vs. humans: 15 differences

Butterflies vs. ladybugs: 7 differences

Apes

If species A and B branch from same node while C branches from older node, which species share recent common ancestry?

A and B

p=0.7 and q=0.3

How many individuals are gonna be heterozygous?

2pq= 2(0.7)(0.3) = 0.42

answer 0.42

Female hummingbirds only respond to mating songs of their own species? which barrier is this?

behavioral isolation

300

Black and white spiders can camouflage better than grey spiders, which selection occurs?


300

an event kills 75% of an islands squirrel population. The survivers carry fewer copies of a particular allele which then carries on to the next generation.What process most directly explains the allele frequency change?  

Genetic drift 

300

How is bottleneck and founder effect similar?

they are genetic drifts

400

p=0.8 and q=0.2 what is percent of homozygous dominant?

0.64

Dragonflies have special claspers to hold females during mating, if the dragonfly tries to mate with diff species it cannot hold her correctly preventing the sperm transfer, Which barrier is this?

mechanical

400

Birds eat red fish more than blue fish as they are easier to see. Over generations blue fish are more common, why?

natural selection

400

A group of birds living in the same trees use different trees over generations the preference of trees and mating behavior makes a decrease in the interbreeding with the og. group. Which results in two species, what process best describes what occured? 

Sympatric speciation

400

Birds reach a new island chain over generations they evolve into diff species each adapted to diff food sources which evolutionary process occured?

Adaptive radiation  because they turn into multiple species adapted to multiple niches

500

2000 plants, 4% are rr how many heterozygous?

q^2=.04 

q=0.2 and p=0.8

2pq=2(.2)(.8)=.32

2000x.32=640

Two plant species release pollen. One of them cannot get their pollen to bind with the others reproductive area, preventing fertilization. Which barrier is this?

gametic

What is the order of natural selection influence

1.Change happens

2. Species with poor adatation die off

3. genes change

4.well adapted survive and reproduce

Humans arms and cats front legs share similar structure yet humans use their arm to grab stuff and cats use theirs to walk, what evolutionary factor shows here?

Homologous structure?

Phylogenetic tree shows species 5,6,7,8. Species 5 and 6 share most common ancestor, 7 branches off earlier than the 5 and 6 split and 8 branched off the earliest. which share more recent common ancestor?

5 and 6
