Concept explainers

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.

Quantitative Genetics

Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.

There is an outbred population of mice living in a farmer’s field. Mutations occur at a genecalled nurseryrhyme that cause a totally recessive form of blindness (h=0). These blind micedo not survive to reproduce because the farmer’s wife cuts off their tail (and other bits) witha carving knife. Surveying the field for baby mice you find that 3/10,000 mice are blind.A. Assuming that the population mates at random, what is the mutation rate of blindnesscausing alleles?B. Following more careful study you now find that there is actually a 20% reduction in theviability of heterozygotes for these mutations. What would you now estimate as themutation rate for this gene?
An Eastern European immigrant carrying the allele for Tay-Sachs disease settled in a small village on the St. Lawrence River. Many generations later, the frequency of the allele in that village is statistically higher than it is in the immigrants homeland. The high frequency of the allele in the village probably provides an example of: a. natural selection. b. the concept of relative fitness. c. the HardyWeinberg genetic equilibrium. d. phenotypic variation. e. the founder effect.
The phenomenon in which chance events cause unpredictable changes in allele frequencies is called: a. gene flow. b. genetic drift. c. inbreeding. d. balanced polymorphism. e. stabilizing selection.
One of the original Amish colonies rose from a ship of colonists that came from Europe. The ship s captain, who had polydactyly, a rare dominant trait, was one of the original colonists. Today, we see a much higher frequency of polydactyly in the Amish population. This is an example of: natural selection genetic drift founder effect b and c
If a populations allele and genotype frequencies remain constant from generation to generation, (a) the population is undergoing evolutionary change (b) the population is said to be at genetic equilibrium (c) microevolution has taken place (d) directional selection is occurring, but only for a few generations (e) genetic drift is a significant evolutionary force
Which of the following is not a component of Darwins theory as he understood it? a. Some individuals in a population survive longer than others. b. Some individuals in a population reproduce more thanothers. c. Heritable variations allow some individuals to compete moresuccessfully for resources. d. Mutations in genes produce new variations in a population. e. Some new variations are passed to the next generation.
The reason spontaneous mutations do not have an immediate effect on allele frequencies in a large population is that: a. mutations are random events, and mutations may be eitherbeneficial or harmful. b. mutations usually occur in males and have little effect oneggs. c. many mutations exert their effects after an organism hasstopped reproducing. d. mutations are so rare that mutated alleles are greatlyoutnumbered by nonmutated alleles. e. most mutations do not change the amino acid sequence of aprotein.

1.A small group of turtles float on a log to an island and establish a new population there. How do you expect the genetic diversity of the island turtles to compare to genetic diversity of the mainland turtle population they originated from? Group of answer choices A. Genetic diversity should be similar, since they are the same species. B. Genetic diversity should be higher for the island turtles, because the new environment will produce new alleles. C. Genetic diversity should be lower for the island turtles, since the island turtles represent a small sample of the genetic diversity from the mainland turtles. 2.If the probability of a turtle having a brown shell is 3/4 and the probability of a turtle having a bumpy shell is 1/4, what is the probability of a turtle that has a shell that is both brown andbumpy?
