You will need to read all the information and write a lab report covering the activity.
The lab report needs to be submitted by the due date using the link below and contain the following sections:
Introduction
Hypothesis
Materials
Procedures
Data Table
Graph
Conclusion
Summarize your results.
Discuss if your hypothesis is supported or not and how you know.
Answer the following questions in complete sentences:
What was the original gene frequency of the F and the f alleles before selection occurred?
How did the gene frequency of the F and f alleles change by the 10th generation?
How do you explain that both alleles, F and f, changed in frequency over time in the lab?
Discuss how immigration or emigration could affect the gene frequency of F and f in this population of rabbits? How might you simulate this effect if you were to repeat this activity.
In nature, how is it that lethal alleles, like furlessness, are still passed along through the generations and not completely selected out of the population? (Think about the genotypes and resulting phenotypes and if the allele is dominant or recessive.)
