The Afrikaner population of Dutch settlers in South Africa is descended from a few colonists. Today, the Afrikaner population has an unusually high frequency of the gene that causes Huntington's disease. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disease and only one allele is needed for the disease (HH, Hh). The Afrikaners are an example of a founder effect but are also an example of genetic drift. How is the founder effect related to genetic drift?

Consider the last statement in the prompt: "people take such environmental factors into account in their choices when deciding where to live." do all people have a choice as to where they live? what factor plays a key role in this decision and may therefore play a large role in determining quality of life?

Scenario 5 1) take 10 red and 10 black beans and place them, mixed, on the table. record the starting phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your starting population in the table provided (generation 0). 2) act as a predator. “capture” as many organisms as you can until you have reduced the population to three organisms. put them aside. at this point, the predators die. 3) the remaining organisms each produce 2 clonal offspring. multiply your organisms accordingly and allow them to mix on the table. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 1). 4) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 2). 5) repeat the reproduction event, allowing each of your organisms to produce 2 clonal offspring. calculate and record the resultant phenotype # and frequencies (% of your total population) of your population in the table provided (generation 3).
