You ve been researching a small population of mice that appear to have a Mendelian trait with respect to the color of their fur The dominant allele A1 confers dark fur while the recessive allele A2 results in light fur You round up a very large group of biology students who want extra credit to help you catch genotype and release 1300 mice You have the following genotype chart A1A1 435 A1A2 165 A2A2 700 There are not very many heterozygotes and you suspect that there may be some kind of selection acting against them for some reason The null hypothesis is that there is no selection on this trait and the population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium with respect to fur color Your first step is to find the allele frequencies To the nearest two decimal places what is the allele frequency for the A1 allele

mony to constructing a phylogenetic tree choose the tree in which the branch points are based on as many shared derived characters as possible choose the tree that represents the fewest evolutionary changes either in DNA sequences or morphology choose the tree that assumes all evolutionary changes are equally probable base phylogenetic trees only on the fossil record as this provides the simplest explanation for evolution

The common ancestor of all the species displayed in a phylogenetic tree lies at the it could be any of the above root of the tree node of the tree tip of the tree

Natural selection can lead to speciation because the evolutionary changes that two populations acquire while adapting to different habitats may have the effect of making them reproductively isolated Oby causing small populations to diverge more than large populations by favoring the same evolutionary change in multiple populations by favoring intermediate phenotypes

In order for a population to evolve natural selection must promote mutations to fit organisms DNA all members of the population must have identical genotypes its members must have heritable genetic variation all members of the population must have identical phenotypes
