- We will talk about this more in class, but pigeons have a gene, EphB2, that controls head crest feather development. A recessive allele at this locus reverses the feathers on their head crests and basically makes them look like they have a huge cowlick. There are 100,000 pigeons in the population; 1,000 pigeons are heterozygous for the recessive trait; and 1,674 pigeons have reversed head-crest feathers. If we call the dominant allele A1 and the recessive allele A2, which of the following is closest to the frequency of the A2 allele?Select one:a. 0.973b. 0.978c. 0.017d. 0.022
- What is another component that is required for SAM maintenance?
- 13. A storm washed five female and five male tiger beetles from the mainland to a small island that had no previouspopulation of tiger beetles. In tiger beetles, having six spots (A) is dominant to having four spots (a). All ten beetleshad six spots; however, one male and one female were heterozygous for the four-spot trait. If six of the beetles diedwithout reproducing, the ratio of the genotypes could be quite different in subsequent generations. This is anexample of:A) diploidy.B) gene flow.C) genetic drift.D) disruptive selection.E) stabilizing selection.
