Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 21P
In Fig. 22.15:
| a. | Why do some chromosomes in the disease group not carry the disease-causing variant shown in red? |
| b. | Why do some chromosomes in the control group carry the variant shown in red? |
| c. | Discuss how scientists would evaluate data from association mapping studies to find QTLs that contribute to the disease. What would researchers look for? And at the bottom of the figure, why are the nonrandom associations of the disease specifically discussed in terms of the blue alleles? |
| d. | Suppose that researchers identified two different regions of the genome with statistically significant associations of SNPs with the disease in question. In Region 1, SNPs extending over 200 kb of DNA showed such associations. In Region 2, the region containing disease-associated SNPs was 2 Mb long. If you assume that each of these two regions has only one disease-causing variant, which of the two mutations was likely to have occurred earlier in human history? Explain. |
| e. | Given your answer to part (d), explain why the length of the region containing disease-associated SNPs is nonetheless not a perfect indicator of the time in human history at which the disease-causing mutation occurred. |

(You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)

- PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forward
