Around a pond, there is a small population of turtles. Some of them have solid dark brown shells and some of them have yellow and brown shells with yellow spots. Spotted shells are dominant over solid shells. Six of the turtles are homozygous for the spotted shells, four are heterozygous and two are homozygous for the solid shells.
1. How many total alleles are there in this particular gene pool?
2. How many dominant alleles are there? Recessive?
3. Calculate the allele frequency for the dominant and the recessive allele.
4. If over time, due to a change in the environment, the solid dark brown shells became the advantageous color, what would likely happen to the frequencies of the gene pool?
5. If the allele frequency of a particular trait is 100 percent, describe the genetic variation for that trait in the population.

4.06 hc)a five-year review of threats to the southern resident orca population of the united states concluded that the top threats were prey availability, contaminants, and effects from recreational and whale watching vessels. further down the list are oil spills, disease, and effects from commercial vessels not targeting whales. how might this list be different if it were for transient whale populations, which have a larger average population size and live farther offshore in open waters? a)the transient population is more likely to be affected by contaminants. b)the transient population is less likely to be affected by whale watching vessels. c)the transient population is more likely to be affected by disease. d)the transient population is less likely to be affected by prey availability.
