Next, you’ll build a simulation based on what you think will happen because of natural selection. Here are two considerations:

Some individuals with harmful characteristics can still successfully reproduce, but they have an overall lower chance of doing so compared to organisms with neutral or beneficial traits.
Natural selection may affect distribution of traits. It’s possible that harmful traits could eventually disappear from the gene pool.
Don’t worry about precise population numbers. Based on your understanding of natural selection, you’ll be modeling only one scientifically plausible trend that can occur. There are several correct variations of this diagram. You’ll explain the justification for your choices in part E.

Assume that these plants have a life expectancy of about one year, but the rate of reproduction keeps their population consistently around 2,500 organisms. Using the same elements you used in part C, draw simulations for year 5 and year 10. Clearly label each simulation.

Explain your justification for the changes in trait distribution between years 1 and 10. What do you think will happen to the population by year 15?

Next, you’ll build a simulation based on what you think will happen because of natural selection.

Which of the following scenarios is an example of the bottleneck effect? answers a in south africa, much of the afrikaner population is descended from a small number of dutch colonists. in this population, this is an unusually high frequency of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (pxe), an elastic tissue disorder. b four white-tailed deer are introduced to a park in finland. thirty years after their introduction scientists compare the genes in the population and find that there is no variation. c during the industrial revolution, london's air became filled with soot. as a result, birds started eating more of the lighter moths because they were easier to spot than their darker counterparts. over time, the moth population changed so that there were more darker moths than lighter ones. d 10% of the population of american alligators in an area have the recessive trait albinism. a massive flood results in the death of 80% of the population. of the remaining population, 60% have the recessive trait of albinism.
