Next, you'll build a simulation based on what you think will happen because of natural selection.
Here are two considerations:
• Some individuals with harmful characteristics can still successfully reproduce, but they have an
overall lower chance of doing so compared to organisms with neutral or beneficial traits.
• Natural selection may affect distribution of traits. It's possible that harmful traits could eventually
disappear from the gene pool.
Don't worry about precise population numbers. Based on your understanding of natural selection, you'll
be modeling only one scientifically plausible trend that can occur. There are several correct variations of
this diagram. You'll explain the justification for your choices in part E.
Assume that these plants have a life expectancy of about one year, but the rate of reproduction keeps
their population consistently around 2,500 organisms. Using the same elements you used in part C, draw
simulations for year 5 and year 10. Clearly label each simulation.

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
