Caption: Genotype and allele proportions in two wolf populations: one from a small island (Isle
Royale) and one from the mainland (Minnesota). Genotypes and alleles were categorized as either
"damaging" (harmful) or "benign" (not harmful).

Take 1 minute to look at the data presented. Then, read the caption above AND the following information:
Figures A and B represent the proportions of a wolf's sampled nucleotide positions that have heterozygous or
homozygous genotypes, respectively. Figure C represents the proportions of the wolf's derived alleles (alleles
with relatively "new" mutations). Each diamond represents an individual wolf, and the shaded bars represent
means for each population. *** indicates a significant difference between the groups (P < 0.001), and NS
indicates a difference that is not significant.
Define the following:
Allele: DNA sequence (capital or lower case) different ver of sametrain
Nucleotide: ATCG
Heterozygote: 2 different alleles
Homozygous: N same alleres
Genotypes: actual genes
Derived alleles:
What is the difference between the Isle Royale population and minnesota?
Isle royale IS small 3 minesota is mainland
What is the difference between and NS?
Significant difference or NS (not significant)
