Problem 1: Consider how the gene pool of the population might have changed, if, during the winter months, the third generation had unexpectedly high amounts of snowfall. How would the graph in Graph 1 reflect this change?
Problem 2: Explain how evolution was observed in the model population in Exercise 2. If evolution had not been observed, how might the graph in Graph 1 look?
Problem 3: Which assumptions of the Hardy-Weinberg Principle were upheld in Exercise 2, and which were not?
Problem 4: How is it that a generation of foxes that all have brown fur could give birth to some foxes with white fur? Did this occur in your population? If so, list the generations that included brown individuals that gave birth to white individuals.
