B Allele Lab Report

The simulation experiment is intended to investigate the shift in population allele frequencies in response to selective pressure. We do not grow live populations and test them in our class due to the fact that we don't have enough time. Also the populations have to go through generations which cannot be conducted in a classroom as a result of not being enough room to reproduce, and the organisms would not be in their natural habitat leading to the cause they might not even try to reproduce.This procedure is different among the three populations because in each population there are either no changes, there are either changes only to the homozygous recessive allele set, or changes to the homozygous recessive allele set and half of the homozygous
As each generation passed the allele frequency for b decreased from the previous generation because after each generation the homozygous recessive (white) allele set was removed from the population and not returned. The graph was wide and the lines were far away from each other as a result of the B allele having a high frequency and the b allele having a low frequency rate. I predict that the B allele frequency would be 0.76 and the b allele frequency would be 0.24 for the next generation. The B allele frequency would be 0.82 and the b allele frequency would be 0.18 for the next ten generation because the b allele frequency would decrease and the B allele frequency would
A real world example similar to the scenario of population 2 is cystic fibrosis which is often fatal prior to the reproductive age. A real world example similar to the scenario of population 3 is sickle cell in accurate conclusion anemia which is among people and malaria infested tropical locations. Homozygous recessive sickle cell is fatal while the heterozygotes is not usually lethal as it affects individuals health but also offers protection from malaria
