5. In a given population of diploid individuals, two alleles of gene A exist, A and a. Gene A DNA from 100 individuals is amplified and the PCR products are sequenced to determine which allele(s) each individual has (their genotype). The results demonstrate that the sample is made up of 16 AA, 48 Aa, and 36 aa individuals. What is the number of A alleles in this sample? What is the total number of chromosome copies sampled? What is the A allele frequency in this sample? What is the a allele frequency in this sample? a. b. C. d. 6. In a population of 400 salamanders, some individuals have long toes and others have short toes. This phenotypic difference is due to a single gene with dominant and recessive alleles, T and t, where T confers long toes. If the toe length gene is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and 256 individuals have short toes, how many individuals are heterozygous at the toe length locus? a. 144 b. 128 c. More information is needed to determine the answer.

4. Allele specific oligo-nucleotide hybridization is a genetic test used to look for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPS) associated with genetic diseases. It uses short sequences of labeled DNA as probes to bind onto either the normal allele or mutated allele in a patient's sample. Given that hemocystinuria is an autosomal recessive disease, use the results from the ASOH test below to determine the GENOTYPE and PHENOTYPE of the newborns born at Henry Mayo Hospital this week.

2. Null mutations are valuable genetic resources becausethey allow a researcher to determine what happens to anorganism in the complete absence of a particular protein. However, it is often not a trivial matter to determinewhether a mutation represents the null state of the gene.a. Geneticists sometimes use the following test forthe nullness of an allele in a diploid organism: If theabnormal phenotype seen in a homozygote for theallele is identical to that seen in a heterozygote(where one chromosome carries the allele in question and the homologous chromosome is known tobe completely deleted for the gene) then the alleleis null. What is the underlying rationale for thistest? What limitations might there be in interpreting such a result?

9.) In humans, when a dark-skinned person reproduces with a very light- skinned person, their children may range in color from dark to brown. This occurs because skin color is controlled by more than one gene (the exact # of genes is not known). For your convenience, a table is presented below that shows several possible genotypes & phenotypes: Genotypes Phenotypes Very dark skin Dark skin AABB AABB or AaBB AаBb, AAЬЬ, or aaBB Aabb or aaBb Medium brown skin Light skin Very light skin aabb If a man with dark skin whose genotype is AABB reproduces with a woman who has light skin (aaBb), what are the possible skin colors that their children will have? Develop a Punnett square and list the possible genotypes & phenotypes.
