- Natural Selection Affects the Frequency of Genetic Disorders Will a recessive allele that is lethal in the homozygous condition ever be completely removed from a large population by natural selection?You are studying an autosome trait. There are two alleles, one showing complete dominance over the other. In a population, 84% of the individuals show the dominant phenotype. Assuming that this population is under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, which of the following statement is TRUE? 36% of individuals have the homozygous dominant genotype. 40% of the alleles in the population is recessive. 16% of the alleles in the population is recessive. 60% of individuals have the dominant alleles.population is black in colour but about 1/4 of them are white. gene (B) that produces an enzyme that converts a pigment molecule to produce the Black colour. There are 2 alleles of this gene - the dominant B and the recessive b. DNA analysis shows that black individuals have either a BB or Bb genotype and that white individuals have a bb phenotype. However, you have discovered that a small percentage of White individuals have either a BB or Bb genotype. Explain two reasons that could explain this apparent anomaly. They have a BB or Bb genotype but a white phenotype.
- Is it easier for selection to remove a deleterious recessive allele from a randomly mating population or from a highly inbred population? Why?Heterozygote advantage is an interesting condition in those individuals who have one of each allele (dominant and recessive) have a higher survival rate than those individuals who are either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. Sickle-cell anemia is such a genetic disease associated with the recessive allele. Normal homozygous individuals (SS) have normal blood cells that are easily infected with the malarial parasite. Thus, many of these individuals become very ill from the parasite and many die. Individuals homozygous for the sickle-cell trait (ss) have red blood cells that readily collapse when deoxygenated. Although malaria cannot grow in these red blood cells, individuals often die because of the genetic defect. However, individuals with the heterozygous condition (Ss) have some sickling of red blood cells, but generally not enough to cause mortality. In addition, malaria cannot survive well within these "partially defective" red blood cells. Thus, heterozygotes tend to…In the case of Recessive Lethal Alleles, what copy number of an allele is lethal? 1 4 O None of the above
- Why do recessive lethals persist in a population? Provide an example of a recessive lethal allele.Lets say there exists a gene in the United States that comes in two alleles, the dominant A and the recessive a. The allele frequency of the dominant allele is 60% and the allele frequency of the recessive allele is 40% The population in genotyped and its found in the United States there are 36% Homozygous Dominant folk, 48% Homozygous Recessive folk, and 16% Homozygous recessive folk. Do you think there is any fitness advantage to any of these genotypes? Why or why not? View keyboard shortcutsThe eugenic movement was created in the early 20th century by Sir Francis Galton. Its aim was to improve the genetic pool of the human population by selective breeding. One idea was to discourage individuals with Mendelian autosomal recessive diseases to have children. However, the fallacy of this idea is shown by the fact that recessive lethal alleles (that are never found in homozygosity) can persist in populations for hundreds to thousands of generations. Which one of the following statements best explains the persistence of those alleles in populations? There is heterozygote advantage in those populations. Recessive alleles keep being produced by mutation. Recessive alleles cannot be selected against when present in heterozygotes. Genetic drift keeps recessive alleles at a relative high frequency in populations. Consider the action of mutation and of genetic drift in a population. What do you expect genetic variation will be in a…
- The delta-32 mutation, a recessive gene, gives humans protection from HIV infection. The allele frequency in a town in Sweden is 20%. What percent of the population have two copies of the gene and are therefore immune to HIV? What percent of the population are less susceptible to the disease since they are heterozygous?In a certain population of African people, 9% of the population is born with sickle cell anemia. This is a recessive disease. What % of the population is: Homozygous Dominant? Heterozygous?From your research, you discover that in this species of fish, the allele for black color is dominant to orange color. Based on this research, can you determine the genotype of a black fish just by looking at it? Why or why not? Yes, because the recessive allele must have been eliminated by the dominant one. Yes, because the phenotype always expresses all the alleles. No, because you do not know the DNA sequence. No, because it could be either homozygous dominant or heterozygous.
