Identify the effect(s) of specific population-genetic forces ongenetic variation within and between populations over time. In eachof the table cells, choose one of the options in the drop-down menuthat appears.

Genetic variation within a populationGenetic variation between multiple populations
Mutation                          [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]                               [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]     
Migration                          [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]                               [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]     
Genetic drift                          [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]                               [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]     
Natural selection                          [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]                               [Select ]                      [\"increases\", \"decreases\",\"can either increase or decrease\", \"stays the same\"]     

In a large, randomly-mating population, the frequency of theallele (a) for sickle-cell hemoglobin is 0.028. Theresults of studies have shown that people with the followinggenotypes at the beta-chain locus produce the average numbers ofoffspring given. In the table below, indicate the relative fitnessvalues for these three genotypes.

GenotypeMean offspringRelative fitness
AA5                          [Select ]                      [\"0\", \"1\", \"0.83\"]     
Aa6                          [Select ]                      [\"0\", \"1\", \"0.83\"]     
aa0                          [Select ]                      [\"0\", \"1\", \"0.83\"]     

What form of selection is acting on the sickle-cellallele?                           [ Select ]                     [\"directional selection against the a allele\", \"directionalselection against the A allele\", \"overdominance\", \"underdominance\"]     

Over time, we should expect genetic variation in this populationto                           [Select ]                      [\"increase\", \"decrease\",\"stay the same\"]         .
