1. With mutation set to 0, migration set to 0, all genotypeswith equal fitness, and assortative mating set to 0, what would youexpect to happen and why?

a. allele frequencies should change dramatically, becausemicroevolution is occurring

b. new alleles will be entering the population, which willchange allele frequencies

c. some phenotypes are more adaptive than others, so they willincrease in frequency over generations

d. allele frequencies should stay about the same, becausemicroevolution is not occurring

2. When you changed the Genotype Relative fitness settingsfrom

rr 1 Rr 1 RR 1 to

rr 0.5 Rr 0.5 RR 1,

What should you predict will happen over generations?

a. R and r will maintain the same frequencies

b. mutation will lead to a new allele

c. r will become more common and R less common

d. R will become more common and r less common

3. Did the koi simulation simulate microevolution ormacroevolution and why?

a. both: it's at the population level which is larger than anorganism and smaller than a species

b. neither: it wasn't evolution because there were no newanimals evolving

c. macroevolution: it was all about new species descending fromshared common ancestors

d. microevolution: it was all about allele frequencies changingin populations

This is the koi fish pond simulator
