Biologists performed an experiment with flies to examine the effects of population size on the maintenance of genetic variation  and  on  egg-to-adult survival.  From  a  large  source  population, they  randomly  assigned  eggs  to  three experimental  populations  of  size  N,  equal  to  20,  60,  and0100.  For  later  generations,  they  collected  N  eggs  from each  population  and  moved  them  into  identical  vials  that  co0ntained  f2re0sh  me4d0ium.  Th6e0y  coun8te0d  the  number  of adult flies that emerged and used tissue samples from the adults for genetic analyses. Genetic variation was measured by  scoring  alleles  at  several  polymorphic  loci  and  expressed  as  the  average  number  of  alleles  at  those  loci.  The results are summarized in Figure 1 and Figure 2 below.

Which process best explains the dynamics of genetic variation observed in this experiment?

In the following example, 3 independently assorting genes A, B and C are known to govern coat color in mice. Homozygous recessive cc (albino phenotype) is epistatic over both gene A and B, What will be the expected frequency of non albino, in the progeny from cross of AaBbCc with genotype of AABbCc?

Cross is made between a pure breeding plant having red coloured male flowers with a pure breeding plant having white colored female flowers. All of these offspring are white colored flower. Upon selfing of these F1 red flower plant produced both red and white flower. Which of the following is conclusion of these cross?

A pure-breeding strain of squash that produced disk-shaped fruits was crossed with a pure breeding strain having long fruits. The F1 had disk fruits, but the F2 showed a new phenotype, sphere, and was composed of the following proportions

Disk  384            

Sphere 96

 Long  32

What is reason for F2 phenotype?
