A recent estimate of the rate of base substitutions atSNP loci is about 1 × 10−8 per nucleotide pair pergamete.a. Based on this estimate, about how many de novomutations (that is, mutations not found in the genomes of your parents) are present in your own genome?b. Where and when did these de novo mutations inyour genome most likely occur?
stion 6 of 18 Suppose that a geneticist discovers a new mutation in Drosophila melanogaster that causes the flies to shake and quiver. She calls this mutation quiver, qu, and determines that it is due to an autosomal recessive gene. She wants to determine whether the gene encoding quiver is linked to the recessive gene for vestigial wings, vg. She crosses a fly homozygous for quiver and vestigial traits with a fly homozygous for the wild-type traits, and then uses the resulting F, females in a testcross. She obtains the flies from this testcross. Phenotype Number of flies vg* qu+ 230 vg qu 224 vg qut vg* qu 97 99 Test the hypothesis that the genes quiver and vestigial assort independently by calculating the chi-squared, X², for this hypothesis. Provide the X2 to one decimal place. X2 = Does the X value support the hypothesis that the quiver and vestigial genes assort independently? Why or why not? the partial table of critical values for X2 calculations to test this hypothesis.
Suppose you are constructing a human genomic library in BAC vectors where the human DNA fragments are on average 100,000 bp. a. What is the minimum number of different recombinant BACs you need to construct in order to havea greater than zero chance of having a completelibrary—meaning one in which the entire genomeis represented?The simple statistical equation that follows allows youto determine the size that a genomic library needs tobe (that is, the number of independent recombinantclones you need to make) for a given likelihood thatthe entire genome is represented in the library.N = ln (1 − P)ln (1 − f )In the equation, N is the number of independent recombinant clones; P is the probability that any particular partof the genome is represented at least one time; f is thefraction of the genome in a single recombinant clone.(Note: ln is the natural log, sometimes written as loge.)b. Calculate f for the genomic library described in part (a).c. How many different recombinant BAC…
A pair of paralogous repeats, A and B, have 96% sequence similarity and therefore can promote non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR). They exist in four possible arrangements in a genome, illustrated below as arrangements 1 – 4. What is the result of NAHR between repeats A and B in arrangement 1? A.Translocation between chromosomes 1 and 2 resulting in monocentric chromosomes B.Deletion or duplication of the region between A and B C.Translocation between chromosomes 1 and 2 resulting in acentric and dicentric chromosomes D.Inversion of the region between A and B
With the information that a Wright- Fisher population have a size of 10,000 and assume that mutation rate is 2.5x10-8 per site per generation. What is the probability of difference between the two sequences that were randomly taken from the population? Show all working and explanation.
You are studying four linked genes located on chromosome 2 in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster: adp (which contributes to obesity), b (which contributes to body color), pr (which contributes to metabolism), and vg (which contributes to wing formation). A series of crosses between pair-wise combinations of these mutations yielded the following recombination frequencies between the indicated loci: pr and adp 9% adp and b 6% pr and b 3% vg and b 10% vg and pr 7% What is the genetic distance in map units (cM) between the adp and vg loci? 16 9 6 4
If you compare the frequency of the sixteen possible dinucleotide sequences in the E. coli and human genomes, there are no striking differences except for one dinucleotide, 5ʹ-CG-3ʹ. The frequency of CG dinucleotides in the human genome is significantly lower than in E. coli and significantly lower than expected by chance. Why do you suppose that CG dinucleotides are underrepresented in the human genome? (hint: The C in the CG pair is often methylated). Explain how this observation has an impact on the cells immune response.
Following the analysis of a pedigree, a genetic link at 4cM is considered between a mutation leading to a pathology and the molecular marker HUMTH01. The study counts 14 "parental" and 3 "recombinant" individuals. We call p(theta=0.04) is the probability of obtaining such a pedigree in case of a 4cM genetic linkage, p(theta=0.5) is the probability of obtaining such a pedigree in case of independence between the mutation and the marker, Z(theta=0.04) the value of the Lod-score under the assumption of 4cM genetic linkage. Tick all the correct answers: p(theta=0,04)=1,79.10E-9 and Z(theta=0,04)=0,47 p(theta=0,5)=7,18.10E-12 and Z(theta=0,04)=0,77 and Z(theta=0,04)=0,67 p(theta=0,04)=2,75.10E-10 p(theta=0,5)=6,04.10E-10 and Z(theta=0,04)=0,47 p(theta=0,5)=9,36.10E-12 and Z(theta=0,04)=1,33 p(theta =0,5)=5,82.10E-11 and Z(theta=0,04)=0,67 no correct answer p(theta=0,04)=4,31.10E-11 p(theta=0,04)=2,01.10E-10 and Z(theta=0,04)=0,77 and Z(theta=0,04)=1,33

A gene has length of 10000 nucleotides, some of them are ancestral (A) and others are mutant letters (M). Every generation 3% of the ancestral letters turn mutate and become M and 1% of the mutant letters revert to the ancestral state. Write a discrete time model for the number of the mutant nucleotides M (Hint: A = 10000 - M). If initially there are 0 mutant letters (all 10000 are ancestral), predict how many there will be in 10 generations
