- Tay-Sachs disease is a recessive genetic disease. Individuals with this disease rarely survive past the age of four. In the general population, approximately 1 person in 300 carries the allele for this disease. However, in some populations, including the Irish Americans, the Ashkenazi Jews, and the Cajuns from Louisiana, the proportion of Tay-Sachs carriers is much higher (1 in 27 to 1 in 50) than in other populations. Such high frequency of an otherwise rare allele is expected when Question 24 options: populations experienced disruptive selection populations were founded by a small number of settlers the allele is advantageous at the heterozygous state populations have higher than average mutation rates populations experienced stabilizing selectionarrow_forwardThere are two incomplete-dominant alleles for petal color in a population of flowers. 36% of the flowers have red petals, 16% of the organisms have white petals, and 48% of the flowers have pink petals. What percentage of alleles in this population code for red petals (R)? Phenotype Genotype Red RR Pink Rr White rrarrow_forward1. In this example, DNA samples from four individuals were amplified for a particular gene. Which individuals could have a parent-child relationship? (Select all that apply.) Jose: alleles 1 and 2 Matilda: alleles 3 and 4 Zeke: alleles 3 and 5 Lena: alleles 1 and 2 a) Jose and Lena b) Jose and matilda c) Jose and Zeke d) Matilda and Zeke e) Zeke and Lena f) Matilda and lena g) all individuals could be related to each other 2. If jose and Lena are siblings, which of the following statements could be true of their parents/ a) each parent has one copy of allele 1 and one copy of allele 2 b) one parent has two copies of allele 1 and the other has two copies of allele 2. c) one parent has two copies of one the alleles and the other parent has one copy of each allele d) If one parent has alleles 1 and 2 the other parent could have totally different allelesarrow_forward
- Create a fictional trait that Selection is acting against and describe: 1) What the trait consists of (i.e. a disorder, a physical characteristic, a behavior, etc). 2) The genotype or genotypes that express the trait 3) How the trait affects individuals with genotypes that do not express the trait (100 words minimum; no sources required)arrow_forward"The use or disuse of a trait explains why it evolved or was lost."

- Generally speaking, natural selection tends to select for dominant alleles while genetic drift tends to favor recessive alleles. 1)True 2)Falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following is true? Question 10 options: a) A person's phenotype is a trait that is the result of the environment only. b) A person's phenotype is a trait that is the result of genes only. c) A person's phenotype is a trait that is the result of genes and the environment. d) A person's genotype is a trait that is the result of genes and the environment.arrow_forwardWhich one of these statements concerning polygenic and multifactorial traits is NOT true? they can either be continuous or discontinuous a smooth gaussian distribution can occur through environmental influences a smooth gaussian distribution can occur through increasing numbers of genes polygenic traits require the additive effect of many genes; multifactorial traits do notarrow_forward

Which types of SNPs might be identified in a GWAS? 4. Consider the different types of SNPs shown in Figure 3: associated, unassociated, and causative (including both noncoding and coding). a. Which types of SNPs affect protein production or function for the gene of interest? Figure 3. A diagram showing various ways in which a SNP could be associated with a certain gene and its trait.

Which graph shows the most variation in phenotypic plasticity? B A D Carrow_forwardA dominant allele that arises from recurrent mutation is mildly deleterious. The fitness of heterozygotes is 99% of normal. The phenotype appears in about 1 out of every 10,000 newborns. What is the allele frequency?
