For Questions 12 15 I asked students to draw plots of p frequency of A against time for various scenarios you should practice drawing the plots To enable automated grading here I ask you to fill in the blanks instead In every scenario assume that p is initially 0 9 and that no evolutionary forces are acting other than those indicated in each scenario Indicate the direction of change in p using the words increase decrease or remain constant Indicate the equilibrium value of p as 0 1 or intermediate between 0 and 1 If Mendelian Inheritance is operating in the absence of evolutionary forces p will remain constant At equilibrium p will be intermediate between 0 Mark for Review What s This Question 13 of 23 Selection at the hemoglobin sickle cell anemia locus in a region in Africa where malaria infection is common Here p is the frequency of the normal not sickled allele p will decrease At equilibrium p will be intermediate between C Mark for Review What s This 1 Points Question 14 of 23 1 Points Solection at the hemoglobin sickle cell anemia locus in a region in the United States where malaria infection is nonexistent Here p is the frequency of the normal not sickled allele
