You have sequenced the Rag1 gene in two populations of snails that vary in the amount of parasites. The Rag1 gene codes for proteins that affect the immune system. The results were analyzed looking for synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions and are in the table below. Determine if the populations are under selection and comment on which population has the higher infection of parasites.     Population 1 Population 2 Synonymous 5 6 Nonsynonymous 4 13

Parasitic infections

A parasite is an organism that lives in the body of another organism and obtains food at the expense of the host. There are two kinds of parasites they are internal and external. An internal parasite lives inside another organism and is known as endoparasite. An external parasite lives on the body surface of the host and is known as an ectoparasite.
