Answer #1

As we know Bacterial Population is very small that means chances of genetic drift is more.

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequency of a population change over generations due to chance(sampling error)

As we know genetic drift occurs in all population but small population is likely to be affected more.

Genetic drift is caused by natural selection or by other factors.

Genetic drift may cause loss of an allele or may result in fixation of some other allele. Over time.

In bacterial population Genetic drift had occurred from 1st to 8th generation thus allele frequencies changed.

A large population of rabbits is kept in captivity as part of an experiment. At the start of the experiment, you genotype all of the rabbits at the RBX4 gene and calculate how common each allele is (the allele frequency) in the population. The frequency of the dominant allele is 0.6, and the frequency of the recessive allele is 0.4. If you let the rabbits freely mate and make sure all the rabbits are well cared for, what will happen...

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a lethal (soon after birth) recessive genetic defect found primarily in Arabian horses. One study estimated that 5% of Arabian foals were affected by SCID, and that 30% were carriers of the recessive SCID allele. a. Calculate allele frequencies for the normal and affected alleles at birth. b. Since SCID is lethal, all affected individuals are eliminated from the population as foals (natural selection). What would be the genotypic frequencies (all of them) in the...

A large population of fish live in a lake. The color of their scales is determined by two different alleles of the S gene, S1 and S2. Homozygous S1 fish have yellow scales, S2 homozygotes have blue scales, and heterozygotes are green. Scientists catch 100 fish at random and record their color. Among those 100 fish are 30 yellow, 50 blue, and 20 green ones. After the original sample is analyzed, an asteroid landed in the lake and killed all...
