Question
You have collected and determined genotypes of 200 individuals from a population of thr fruit fly, Drosophila pseudoobscura. Your sequencing study revealed 20 individuals with genotype AA, 70 individuals with genotype Aa and 110 individuals with genotype aa.
i) what are your theoretical expectations for the number of individuals with each genotype if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
ii) Based on the genotype counts observed, is there evidence that this population of fruit flies deviates from your theoretical expectations under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?

- Design a simple, manipulative experiment to test the hypothesis that synthetic fertilizers in the environment influence the population density of the salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum. Your experiment can have no fewer than two treatments and no more than four. State your hypothesis. Briefly describe your experiment. Address the following: Is it a field or lab experiment? What are the treatments, how are they set up, and what differentiates them? How many replicates of each treatment will there be? What are the standardized conditions of your experiment? C. Identify the independent variable, including units, in your experiment. D. Identify the dependent variable, including units, in your experiment. E. Identify at least one control treatment and explain its specific role in the experiment.arrow_forward(22) A 35- year old woman and her 35-year old husband come to the physician for genetic counselling after their son is diagnosed with a rare metabolic disease.

- In assessing data that fell into two phenotypic classes, a geneticist observed values of 20:150. She decided to perform a Chi-Square (X) analysis by using the following two different null hypotheses: a) the data fit the 3:1 ratio, and b) the data fit the 1:1 ratio. Calculate the Chi-Square (x) values for each hypothesis. What can be concluded about each hypothesis?arrow_forwardApproximately 1% of the magpies (Pica pica) in a hypothetical populations are albino. Assume that the albino phenotype is due to a recessive allele and that this population is in HardyWeinberg proportions at this locus. (a) What is the estimated frequency of the albino allele in this population? (b) What is the probability that the first progeny born to a mating between an albino and a normal magpie from this population will be albino?

- The data set attached presents the results of a testcross using female flies heterozygous for three traits and male flies, which are homozygous recessive. For simplicity, mutant alleles are shown with letters a, b, and c and wildtype alleles are indicated by a “+” symbol. For this part of the report do the following in order: a) Determine the gene order (which gene is in the middle?)d) Construct a genetic map for the three genes, including the map distances between them. Clearly indicate the logic you followed and show all your calculations. Include the full distance calculations for the two most distanced genes (do not just add the other 2 distances). Ensure the work is neat and clear and does not contain spelling or grammatical errors so that it is understandable. Make sure to double check the solution provided.arrow_forwardA complementation analysis was performed using pea plants which normally have purple flowers. Twenty-five mutants for white flower colour were discovered across 10 populations. The mutants were bred in a complementation test which showed two complementation groups with 10 mutants in one group and 15 in the other. (a) How many genes contribute to flower colour in pea plants based on this data? (b) Is it likely that more genes contribute to pea plant flower colour? Explainarrow_forwardI have seen that this was answered as C, Why is the answer C, how is that not evidence of it being genetic? Shouldnt it be none of the above? Question: Of the following, which supports the idea that alcoholism has no genetic or a low genetic component? a) Some strains of mice select alcohol over water 75% of the time, whereas others shun alcohol. b) The concordance value is 55% for MZ twins and 28% for DZ twins. c) Biological sons of alcoholic men who have been adopted have a rate of alcoholism more like that of their adoptive fathers. d) There is a 20% to 25% risk of alcoholism in the sons of alcoholic men. e) None of these.arrow_forward
