Coefficient of Selection

Question 1

Absolute Fitness: the number of __ (offspring) produced over its lifetime
a. Absolute fitness does NOT tell us if the __ is doing well or poorly, unless we know the __ of other genotypes

Answer 1

zygotes

a. genotype,fitness

Question 2

Relative fitness: the proportion of the next generations gene __ that is descended from a particular entity compared with __ entities
a. How much a given __ will contribute to the maximum __ of a population

Answer 2

pool, competing

a. allele, fitness

Question 3

In order to calculate relative fitness we need to know:
1. Each genotypes survival/ reproductive ___
2. THEN, we select the ___ survival or reproductive rate
3. THEN we will divide each genotypes survival and or reproductive rate, by the highest survival among the __ genotypes
NOTE: the genotype with the maximum fitness will ALWAYS equal __

Answer 3

1. rate
2. highest
3. three
   Note: 1

Question 4

Coefficient of Selection(s): the proportion by which the average fitness of individuals of a genotype differs from that of a __ genotype
a. The genotype with the highest absolute fitness is defined as the __ genotype

Answer 4

reference

a. reference

Question 5

s is always a number between 0 and 1
a. s= 1, makes no contribution to the next __
b, s=0, genotype is __ selected against at all (GOOD THING)

Answer 5

a. generation

b. NOT

Question 6

The rate of genetic change depends on the relative fitness, __ the absolute fitness

Answer 6

NOT
