Exercise 6.1
1
The drastic change in mutation frequencies occurs between 400 and 420 river kilometer.
2
The mutation represented by Gindel is more common in the north.
3
Yes.
4
The mutation represented by the C1-6 is more common in the north.
((0.55-0.3)+(0.55-0.5))/(0.55-0.3)×100=56.67%
5
No, some data points are outliers.
6
The pattern resembles a cone-curved shape.
7
Median, quartile.
8
The average genetic distance between the ORF and the three northernmost populations is greater than the average genetic distance between the ORF and the three southern populations.
9
The average physical distance between the south and the ORF is greater than the average physical distance between the ORF and the north.
10
Yes, the outliers are as a result of …show more content…
By increasing the level of CO2 decreases the size of the development of sea urchin.
[(470-490)/490] x 100= 4.08 %( magnitude in percent) and it is moving in opposite direction in sires.
[(400-499)/499] x 100 = 19.84 %( magnitude in percent) and it is moving in opposite direction dam identity.
The percentage of magnitudes in mussel sires and dam are less than the percentage magnitude in sea urchin sires and dam identity.
10
[(500-498)/ 498] x 100 = 0.402% is the variation range for low CO2 treatment in sea urchin sires. The variation range in sea urchin sires is less than the variation range for mussel sires.
11
Yes.
12
For low CO2, the heritability value of mussel is less than heritability for sea urchin. Additionally, for high CO2, the heritability for sea urchin is greater than the heritability value of mussel.
13
For mussel, the mean before the selection is the same as the optimum while the mean after the selection is greater than the optimum. For sea urchin, the means before and after selection are greater than the optimum.
