A pair of islands with nearly identical habitat and resources are occupied by populations of lizards with identical allele frequencies at time point 0.  These islands are relatively small and the lizard populations never exceed 150 individuals at any given time.  Migration between these populations is virtually non-existent. If you were to return to these islands and do a population genetic assessment of the populations after 100 generations had passed, what kinds of genetic patterns would you expect to find when you compare the genetics of the populations to the initial assessment at time point 0, and when you compare the two populations to each other at time point 100? Explain. (4)

In conducting a common garden experiment with ragweed plants you calculate phenotypic and genotypic variance estimates on plant height.    Variance Type                          Phenotypic                   91.2     Additive Genetic          41.8     Dominance Genetic      24.2     Epistatic Genetic          12.6       You conduct a selection experiment in an effort to increase height in these plants.  If the initial mean height is 367 cm and the mean height of the breeding population is 428 cm, what would you expect the mean height of the population be in the next generation? Provide your estimate to the nearest two decimal places. (3)
