A scientist has been tracking and studying a population of deer in Yellowstone National Park. He surveys the population every six months. Usually, the population is thriving and has a gene pool with a wide variety of traits. But during one six-month period, an event occurred that affected the population, and when the scientist returned, the amount of genetic variation had decreased significantly. Which of the following is most likely the event that occurred to change the population? Yellowstone National Park expanded its borders.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Hi,

I think that you're missing some options, but here they are (let me know if I'm right!

-A population of wolves was introduced
-The amount of disease in the deer population decreased
-More grass was planted

Now, if the gene diversity decreased, it means that a lot of deer died. This could happen because wolves were introduced -this is the correct answer, and the wolves ate some deer.

Answer 2

Answer:

It may be due to the fact that there was an event that eliminated many of the individuals in species.

What is genetic variation?

The term genetic variation refers to the occurence of organisms in a specie that are composed of different genotypes.

If the genetic variation in a population at the yellowstone park is decreased it may be due to the fact that there was an event that eliminated many of the individuals in species.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. Studies have linked a common form of glaucoma to three genes and more than 20 genetic loci. Which best describes glaucoma?a. . a recessive trait that requires multiple recessive alleles to be expressed
b. . a polygenic trait that is influenced by the number of alleles present
c. . a codominant trait that is expressed more often when more dominant alleles are present
d. . a dominant trait that depends on the presence of only one of many dominant alleles

Answers

The answer to the question given is letter b. a polygenic trait that is influenced by the number of alleles present.

Large multiplex families suitable for linkage analysis are typically affected by early-onset forms of glaucoma inherited as Mendelian dominant or recessive traits.
>A polygenic trait is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene.
>A polygenic inheritance is one genetic mechanism giving us a continuous range of possibilities.

The answer is b. a polygenic trait that is influenced by the number of alleles present.

There are three genes linked to a common form of glaucoma, so it must be the polygenic (meaning more than one gene included) trait. The polygenic traits are influenced by the number of alleles. In this case, there are more than 20 genetic loci which means there must be a great number of alleles for all loci.
