QUESTION 10You are creating a set of Daphnia mutation accumulation (MA) lines to determine mutation rate. Comparing the genomes and fitness data from your MA lines support Fisher’s conclusions. Which of the following is an expected result? a.There was an overabundance of chromosomal rearrangements, like inversions and translocations. b.There are many more deleterious mutations than advantageous/beneficial mutations. c.The overall fitness of the MA lines increases throughout the process of creating all of the lines. d.There were very few synonymous substitutions compared to nonsynonymous substitutions.

QUESTION 10

You are creating a set of Daphnia mutation accumulation (MA) lines to determine mutation rate. Comparing the genomes and fitness data from your MA lines support Fisher’s conclusions. Which of the following is an expected result?

	a.	There was an overabundance of chromosomal rearrangements, like inversions and translocations.
	b.	There are many more deleterious mutations than advantageous/beneficial mutations.
	c.	The overall fitness of the MA lines increases throughout the process of creating all of the lines.
	d.	There were very few synonymous substitutions compared to nonsynonymous substitutions.

Expert Solution
