Chapter 21.5, Problem 4CC
WHAT IF? Ø In 2005, Icelandic scientists reported finding a large chromosomal inversion present in 20% of north- ern Europeans, and they noted that Icelandic women with this inversion had significantly more children than women without it. What would you expect to happen to the frequency of this inversion in the Icelandic population in future generations?

About 40% of Solomon Islanders carry a gene for blond hair, and yet only 5%–10% of these people actually have blond hair. Why is the proportion of people with blond hair only 5%–10% when so many people carry genes for blond hair?

For the purpose of the assignment, we will refer to XY individuals as male and XX individuals as
female.
In humans, colorblindness (b) is an example of an X-linked recessive trait. In this problem, a male with
colorblindness XbY marries a female who is not colorblind but is a carrier of the colorblindness allele
(XXb). Using a Punnett square, determine the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities (as
percentages) for their potential offspring. Give the percentages in numbers, without the percent
sign, for each genotype and phenotype.

Strickland and colleagues used cross breeding experiments to investigate these patterns and found evidence that color variation was mainly due to Mendelian inheritance. In other species, geographic variation in coloration might not be due to Mendelian genetics. (a) What is another possible explanation for geographic variation in coloration? (b) What sort of experiment could you use to test this alternative explanation?arrow_forward
- 1.) What happens to the genotypic frequencies from generation 1 to generation 5? 2.) What process is occurring when there is a change in genotypic frequencies over a long period of time? 3.) What would happen if it were more advantageous to be heterozygous (Ff)? Would there still be homozygous fish? Explain. 4.) What happens to the recessive genes over successive generations? Explain. 5.) Why doesn't the recessive gene disappear from the population?arrow_forwardYou were given 1000 fruit flies to start a new laboratory colony. Before starting to breed your fruit flies, you decided to determine their genetic make up. You counted approximately 360 fruit flies that have vestigial wings, a recessive trait. If you decide to remove all the fruit flies with vestigial wings and only breed the flies with normal wings, what is the approximate frequency of individuals with vestigial wings in the F1 generation? 0.09 0.16 0.25 O 0.36 O 0.14arrow_forwardAssume an ideal diploid population of size 2N=32 (Just like the Buri Drosophila drift experiment with 16 individuals, or 32 gene copies, every generation). a) What is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 16 copies will CHANGE BY FEWER than 2 copies in the next generation? Be sure you understand that this includes cases where the number of copies remains unchanged, as well as the cases (plural!) where the magnitude of change between generations is one. b) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift? c) In the same population, what is the probability that a neutral allele present in exactly 2 copies will change by fewer than 2 copies (same meaning as above) in the next generation? d) What is the ultimate probability of fixation for this allele by drift?arrow_forward
- The Genetics &IVF Institute developed its XSORT method to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. Among 574 women using that method, 525 had baby girls. Assuming that the method has no effect so that boys and girls are equally likely, find the probability of getting at least 525 girls among 574 babies. Does the result suggest that the XSORT method is effective ? Why? Or why not?arrow_forwardThe average thorax length in a Drosophila population is 1.01 mm.You want to practice selective breeding to make larger Drosophila. Todo so, you choose 10 parents (5 males and 5 females) of the followingsizes: 0.97, 0.99, 1.05, 1.06, 1.03, 1.21, 1.22, 1.17, 1.19, 1.20. Youmate them and then determine the thorax lengths of 30 offspring (halfmale and half female): 0.99, 1.15, 1.20, 1.33, 1.07, 1.11, 1.21, 0.94,1.07, 1.11, 1.20, 1.01, 1.02, 1.05, 1.21, 1.22, 1.03, 0.99, 1.20, 1.10,0.91, 0.94, 1.13, 1.14, 1.20, 0.89, 1.10, 1.04, 1.01, 1.26.
