Despite their excellent hygienic practices, the Kelatavicla lab experiences a devastating bacterial infection in their mouse population in 2012. Given the conditions in column B, predict what will happen to the frequency of the R allele over the years (increase, decrease, or remain the same) if the outbreak is not contained? House mouse (Mus musculus)Gene of interest: B4galnt2 (encodes glycosyltransferase enzyme)Allele R: Associated with prolonged bleeding due to issues with blood clotting; associated with resistance to bacterial infections dueto absence of intestinal expression.Allele C: Associated with increased susceptibility to bacterial infections; not associated with prolonged bleeding.ABсThe population is closed; there are no new mice coming in.The cages are setup to allow for random mating. TheB4galnt2 gene is not associated with any mating preferencesor non-random mating patterns.Studies have shown that mutations in this locus areextremely rare.The population is EXTREMELY large.The population is kept in well maintained environment, freeof bacterial infections.The mouse food is supplemented with a low dose of bloodcoagulator, which helps the blood clot and eliminates anyprolonged bleeding. None of the genotypes display any sideeffects to this medication.The population is closed; there are no new micecoming in.The cages are setup to allow for random mating.The B4galnt2 gene is not associated with anymating preferences or non-random matingpatterns.The population is closed; there are no new micecoming in.The cages are setup to allow for random mating.The B4galnt2 gene is not associated with anymating preferences or non-random matingpatterns.Studies have shown that mutations in this locus are Studies have shown that mutations in this locus areextremely rare.The population is EXTREMELY large.The mouse food is supplemented with a low doseof blood coagulator, which helps the blood clotand eliminates any prolonged bleeding.
