In balancing selection, two or more alleles are kept in balance, and therefore are maintained in a population over the course of many generations. Which of the following example can support balancing natural selection?

A- Sickle cell allele kept in balance because heterozygotes have greater chance of survival if infected by the malarial parasite, compared with normal homozygotes

B. One morph has selective advantage over another morph

C. One homozygote has greater chance of survival than other genotype results in purity of population

D. many species of invertebrates exist as different colored forms, identical in all respects except color. Visually searching predators often develop a search image for one color form, usually the commoner

Consider a heritable autosomal disease with an incidence in the population of 1 per thousand. On average, individuals with the disease have 80% as many children as the population average. In answering the various parts of this question, assume that mating is random. What mutation rate would be required to maintain the observed incidence of the disease in the population if the disease is dominant?

Consider a heritable autosomal disease with an incidence in the population of 1 per thousand. On average, individuals with the disease have 80% as many children as the population average. In answering the various parts of this question, assume that mating is random. Now assume that the mutation rate is zero, that the disease is recessive, and that the disease allele is maintained in the population by heterozygote advantage. Calculate the heterozygote advantage,
