Chapter 42.4, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
According to Hamilton, the altruistic gene is favored by the process of natural selection when rB>CHere, r is the coefficient of relatedness, B is the recipient of the benefits, and C is the cost by the donor. The coefficient of relatedness determines how close the organism is related to another one. This helps in determining if the sacrifice is valuable or not.

8. A breeder is concerned that his best purebred Angus bull may be a carrier for Curly
Calf Syndrome. He decides to conduct some test matings by taking this bull and
mating him to 15 of the bulls own daughters to determine if he is a possible carrier
of this and any other undesirable recessive genes. Show your work.
a. How sure would we be that he is not a carrier if all the calves are born
normal?
b. How many would you need to be 99% sure he was not a carrier?
