Question

if a population features two alleles at a certain gene ( call then a1 and a2), which frequency of a1 would you expect in a population with a very high frequency of heterozygous individual?
a.0.00
b. 0.25
c. 0.50
d 0.75
e. cant be answered with this information

3.which if the following is not monophyletic
a. bacteria
b. prokaryotes
c. eukaryotes
d. mammals

4. which type of molecules is regarded as the most plausible cabdidate for a self-replicator?
a. dna
b. rna
c. protein
d. glycogen
e trans-fats

5. the relative diversity of linages arises directly from variation in which process(es)?
a. mutation rates
b. speciation rates (the rate from variation in which taxa originate)
c. extinction rates
d. both a anc c
e. both b and c

please answer all

Explanation / Answer

1) or 2) ... !!!

c) answer is 0.5 because at that condition 2pq (the frequency of heterozygotes) > p2 (the frequency of most frequent homozygote), if population is at HWE.

3) Prokaryotes have been originated from a various types of ancestors. Thus considering them monophyletic might cause misleading conditions. Thus we will go for b) Prokaryotes that are not monophyletic.

4) a) DNA

5) a) Mutation rates
