Question 10 Below is information about a population of dots. Read all of the information carefully before answering any questions. 10 pts > All individuals in this population are HAPLOID. This means they each contribute ONE allele to the gene pool. > This population contains two different color phenotypes: blue and yellow. > The blue phenotype is determined by the "A" allele. The yellow phenotype is determined by the "a" allele. For example, an individual with the blue phenotype has a genotype of "A" (because these organisms are haploid). This is the population (8 individuals total). There are 5 blue individuals and 3 yellow individuals. PDF: dots summer 2022.pdf 1. What is the initial allele frequency of "A" and "a" in this population? (1 point each). You can answer calculation questions by giving a fraction or decimal. 2. Imagine that a hurricane comes through this population. The hurricane removes 3 blue dots from the population by chance. The next day, all the remaining individuals clone themselves.

1. What is the initial allele frequency of "A" and "a" in this population? (1 point each). You can answer calculation questions by giving a fraction & decimal. 2. Imagine that a hurricane comes through this population. The hurricane removes 3 blue dots from the population by chance. The next day, all the remaining individuals clone themselves. Now there are 10 total individuals in the population. After these events, what is the new allele frequency of "A" and "a" in this population? (1 point each) You can answer calculation questions by giving a fraction or decimal. 3. Did this population undergo evolution? To fully address this question, include the following in your response: State Yes or No (2 points) Definition of evolution as used in population genetics (2 points) Description of at least 1 mechanism of evolution that may (or may not) have been involved. Use the allele frequencies you calculated to support your argument. (2 points)
