Resistance to the poison warfarin is a genetically determined trait in rats. Homozygotes carrying the resistance allele (WRWR) have a lower fitness because they suffer from vitamin K deficiency, but heterozygotes (WRWS) do not have this deficiency. However, the heterozygotes are still resistant to warfarin. In an area where warfarin is applied, a heterozygote has a survival advantage. Due to warfarin resistance, a heterozygote is also more fit than a homozygote (WSWS) that is sensitive to warfarin. If the relative fitness values for WRWS, WRWR, and WSWS individuals are 1.0, 0.37, and 0.19, respectively, in areas where warfarin is applied, calculate the allele frequencies at equilibrium. How would this equilibrium be affected if the rats were no longer exposed to warfarin?
Different species of crickets have distinct songs, andthey use these songs for mate recognition. Researcherscrossed two species of Hawaiian crickets (Laupala paranigra and L. kohalensis) whose songs are distinguishedby pulse rate (the number of pulses per second; Shaw etal., Molecular Ecology 16, 2007, 2879–2892.) Then, theymapped QTL in the F2 population derived from thiscross. Six autosomal QTL were detected. The mean traitvalues (pulses per second) at the three genotypic classesin the F2 for each QTL are shown in the table below,where P indicates the L. paranigra allele and K indicatesthe L. kohalensis allele.a. Calculate the additive (A) and dominance (D) effectsand the D/A ratio for each of the six QTL.b. Which of these QTL shows the greatest amount ofdominance?c. Which of these has the largest additive effect?d. The mean pulse rate for L. kohalensis is 3.72, and it is0.71 for L. paranigra. Do all six QTL act in the expecteddirection with the L. kohalensis allele conferring a…

Heterozygote advantage is an interesting condition in those individuals who have one of each allele (dominant and recessive) have a higher survival rate than those individuals who are either homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive. Sickle-cell anemia is such a genetic disease associated with the recessive allele. Normal homozygous individuals (SS) have normal blood cells that are easily infected with the malarial parasite. Thus, many of these individuals become very ill from the parasite and many die. Individuals homozygous for the sickle-cell trait (ss) have red blood cells that readily collapse when deoxygenated. Although malaria cannot grow in these red blood cells, individuals often die because of the genetic defect. However, individuals with the heterozygous condition (Ss) have some sickling of red blood cells, but generally not enough to cause mortality. In addition, malaria cannot survive well within these "partially defective" red blood cells. Thus, heterozygotes tend to…

A human gene called the β-globin gene encodes a polypeptidethat functions as a subunit of the protein known as hemoglobin.Hemoglobin is found within red blood cells; it carries oxygen. Inhuman populations, the β-globin gene can be found as the common allele called the HbAallele, and it can also be found as theHbSallele. Individuals who have two copies of the HbSallele havethe disease called sickle cell disease. Are the following examplesdescriptions of genetics at the molecular, cellular, organism, orpopulation level?A.

In a certain population of mice, a single gene controls fur color. There are two possible alleles: B, which leads to a black fur, and W, which leads to white fur. Individuals with the genotype BB will have a black fur, individuals with the genotype WW will have white fur, and individuals with the genotype BW will have gray fur. Scientists recorded the fur color of 1,000 mice from the population. They found that 200 mice have black fur, 400 have gray fur, and 400 have white fur. Ten years later, the measurements are repeated. Again, they recorded the fur color of 1,000 mice. They found that 400 have black fur, 400 have gray fur, and 200 have white fur. Part A: Show the Hardy-Weinberg calculations for the beginning and ending populations. Include the values for the equation as well as the p and q values. Show your work. Part B: Use the Hardy-Weinberg calculation to explain if this population is evolving or not. Then propose a hypothesis about the environment of these mice that would lead…
