Document Summary

Found unexpected positive correlations to where they expected to find trade-offs. If an organism has a large pool of resources to draw from, they are able to put it into both fitness components. If an organism has a small pool of resources to draw from, they have less resources to put into their fitness components. Trade-offs might get hidden behind variation in the amount of resources that organisms are able to acquire. Trade-offs and the correlated response to selection: ex. Plants that produce large flowers can only produce few of them, while plants that produce small flowers can produce a lot of them. We expect to find a correlated response to selection. These beetles eat plants in similar species ipomoea purpurea and deloya guttata. Prediction: our prediction is that for a trade-off to limit or constrain adaptation, we expect there to be a negative genetic correlation between the two components of fitness.

Assume that plant height and flower size in Four O'Clock plants display antogonistic phenotypes. Four O'Clock plants can be tall or short and the flowers can be large or small. Assume each trait is governed by alleles of a single gene and that each follows Mendelâs first and second laws. You start with two pure breeding strains, one that is tall with large flowers and a second that is short with small flowers. You cross these two strains to each other to generate F1 plants. You self-cross an F1 plant and grow 342 of the resulting seeds into plants. You find that 195 plants are short with large flowers, 62 plants are short with small flowers, 59 plants are tall with large flowers, and 26 plants are tall with small flowers.

You take each of the 26 plants that are tall with small flowers, self cross each of them and examine thousands of progeny plants. Among those thousands of plants you would expect to observe plants with which phenotypes? (Select 'Yes' or 'No' for each)

Yes No Tall with large flowers
Yes No Tall with small flowers
Yes No Short with small flowers
Yes No Medium height with medium size flowers
Yes No Short with large flowers
Yes No Can't tell from the information provided
