Evolutionary Genetics 3: Adam & Eve

Question 1

What is filial?

Answer 1

denoting the generation or generations after the parental generation.

Question 2

Comparing the frequencies of a given non-coding allele in different population can hlep estimate
.A. the geneological relationship between the different populations
B. the genetic distance between the different populations, independent of other population phenomena such as genetic drift and gene flow
C. the genetic distance between the different populations, provide taht other population phenomena such as genetic drift and gene flow were not significant
D. the genetic diversity of the different populations, provide that other population phenomena such as genetic drift and gene flow were not significant
E. the mutation rates in different populations

Answer 2

C. the genetic distance between the different populations, provide taht other population phenomena such as genetic drift and gene flow were not significant

Question 3

In molecular terms, which of the following statements about genetic diversity in a population is correct?
A. Genetic diversity cannot be measured by studying heterozygote frequency
B. the higher the heterozygote frequency, the greater tha genetic diversity
C. The higher the heterozygote frequency, the less the genetic diversity

Answer 3

B. the higher the heterozygote frequency, the greater tha genetic diversity
