Hardy Weinberg

1. We start with a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with a q of 0.4 and a p of 0.6. What are the genotype frequencies? Now we have this population, which initially is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (in generation 0) change to a mating scheme where everyone selfs. After selfing, what will be the genotype and gene frequencies in generation 1? In generation 2? In generation 12? 2. If in a group you have 14 eggs (10 males, 2 females, and 2 of unknown sex), 12 breeding females, 2 breeding males, 14 postbreeding males, 38 postbreeding females, 1 postbreeding individual who has forgotten his/her sex, and 1002 dead individuals, what are the total population size, the breeding popula... click for more

Please explain how extracting a single evolutionary progression from a fossil record can be misleading.

Please explain how extracting a single evolutionary progression from a fossil record can be misleading. How do you think this has affected the publics’ opinion of evolution as a scientific theory?

Address the key evolutionary adaptations that arose as life colonized on land. What conditions on early Earth made it possible for life to develop?

Address the key evolutionary adaptations that arose as life colonized on land. What conditions on early Earth made it possible for life to develop? How have those adaptations and conditions influenced life on Earth as it is today?

Patterns of Evolution

Humans shape their environment in ways that other organisms cannot. Are humans subject to the same pressures of natural selection as other organisms? Why or why not? Provide an example of convergent and divergent evolution, adaptive radiation, and co-evolution. Then, respond to the following: Choose one of the examples you provided and discuss the implications this example may have for future humans.
