8. [TRUE/FALSE] You can increase the rate of genetic change by using positive assortative mating to increase the variance in breeding values. 9. [TRUE/FALSE] Partial dominance describes a situation where the genotypic value of heterozygote is identical to one of the homozygous genotype. 10. [TRUE/FALSE] For truncation selection, the selection intensity for the bottom 30% individuals saved in the population can be calculated as the negative value of selection intensity for the top 70% saved individuals.

Step 1
Positive assortative mating is when individuals with similar phenotypes mate more frequently than expected by chance. This can increase the variance in breeding values, which can lead to a higher rate of genetic change. So, the statement is Show more…

Recessive alleles (genes) are not apparent in an organism, and eventually are deleted from the gene pool leaving only dominant genes in a population. True False Question 9 Most individuals in a population that exhibits sexual reproduction look very similar (phenotype), there is little genetic diversity (genotype). True False

a set of true/false questions: Realized heritability may be determined from artificial selection experiments (True/False) Horizontal gene transfer between individuals in a population, while not a mutation, is a source of genetic variation. (true/false) The process of conjugation may introduce new alleles into the recipient strain, altering its genotype. (true/false)
