Chapter 20, Problem 11TYU
EVOLUTlON CONNECTION Ethical considerations aside, if DNA-based tcchnologies became widely used, discuss how they might change the way evolution proceeds, as compared with the natural evolutionary mechanisms that have operated for the past 4 billion years.

The successful sequencing of the human genome
The human genome holds an extraordinary amount of information about human
development, medicine, and evolution. In 2000, the human genome was triumphantly released
as a reference genome with approximately 8% missing information (gaps). In 2022- exactly 22
years later, technological advances enabled the gaps to be filled. This is a notable scientific
milestone, leading to the resolution of critical aspects of human genetic diversity, including
evolutionary comparisons to our ancestors. Discuss the sequencing technology used to resolve
the human genome in 2005, its significant advantages and limitations? What was the
technology used in 2022, and how significant are the gaps that have been resolved? What new
insight will be gained from this new information- especially pertaining to understanding
epigenetics?
Your work should be approx. 2 x A4 pages, written in Calibri font size 11, 1.5 spacing.

Neutral regions of a species’ genome that are distant from any selected sites have apairwise diversity (?) of 0.01. Other regions of the genome have reduced genetic variation,and selective sweeps could be responsible for the reduction. Assume that selective sweepshappen at a rate of 10^-10 per bp, and they take 500 generations to reach fixation. Therecombination rate in regions where selective sweeps might occur is 10^-8 per bp. Theeffective population size of the species is 10^5. A. Find the expected genetic diversity (? per bp) in regions where selective sweepsmight be occurring.B. Find the deleterious mutation rate (per bp) that would be required to produce anequivalent reduction in genetic diversity as a result of background selection (BGS)?Assume the same recombination rate as above.arrow_forward
