Humans with gene "R" are 25% more likely to survive tuberculosis than humans with gene "S." What effect would you expect a deadly outbreak of drug-resistant tuberculosis to have on the proportion of humans with gene "R" to those with gene "S" over time? O The proportion of those with gene "R" would increase over time O The proportion of those with "R" and "S" would stay the same over time O There's no way to tell from this data. O The proportion of those with gene "R" would decrease over time

Mortality due to lung cancer was followed ingroups of males in the United Kingdom for 50 years. FigureQ20–1 shows the cumulative risk of dying from lung can-cer as a function of age and smoking habits for four groupsof males: those who never smoked, those who stopped atage 30, those who stopped at age 50, and those who contin-ued to smoke. These data show clearly that individuals cansubstantially reduce their cumulative risk of dying fromlung cancer by stopping smoking. What do you suppose isthe biological basis for this observation?
In most species of mammals, the O2 affinity of a fetus’s bloodhemoglobin is greater than that of its mother’s blood hemoglobin.However, mammal species are not all the same in the mechanismthat causes the affinities to be different. Specify three distinctmechanisms for the difference in affinity between fetal andmaternal blood hemoglobin. Considering the mechanism of the fetal–maternal difference in O2 affinity, would you say that the evolution of themechanism provides evidence for Jacob’s argument? Explain.
At least three hemoglobin alleles in human populations alterhemoglobin structure in such a way as to impair the transportof O2 by the blood but enhance resistance of red blood cells toparasitization by malaria parasites. Explain how such allelesexemplify pleiotropy, and discuss whether such alleles couldlead to nonadaptive evolution of blood O2 transport in certainsituations.
Among the most prevalent pathologies that afflicthuman beings is heart disease, which can have a severeimpact on quality of life and can even result in prematuredeath. While heart disease mostly afflicts those who areolder, 1% or 2% of people in their 30s, and even in their20s, suffer from this disease. Genetic and environmentalcomponents of this disease exist. What strategy mightyou use to choose families to participate in a GWAS ofheart disease–causing genes? Explain your reasoning.

It is the year 1998, and the men and women sailors (inequal numbers) on the American ship the MedischolBounty have mutinied in the South Pacific and settledon the island of Bali Hai, where they have come intocontact with the local Polynesian population. Of the400 sailors that come ashore on the island, 324 haveMM blood type, 4 have the NN blood type, and 72 havethe MN blood type. Already on the island are 600Polynesians between the ages of 19 and 23. In thePolynesian population, the allele frequency of the Mallele is 0.06, and the allele frequency of the N allele is 0.94. No other people come to the island over thenext 10 years.a. What is the allele frequency of the N allele in thesailor population that mutinied?b. It is the year 2008, and 1000 children have beenborn on the island of Bali Hai. If the mixed population of 1000 young people on the island in 1998mated randomly and the different blood groupphenotypes had no effect on viability, how manyof the 1000 children would you expect…

Within six months of effectively using methicillin to treatS. aureus infections in a community, all new S. aureus infectionswere caused by MRSA. How can this best be explained?(A) A patient must have become infected with MRSA fromanother community.(B) In response to the drug, S. aureus began making drugresistant versions of the protein targeted by the drug.(C) Some drug-resistant bacteria were present at the startof treatment, and natural selection increased theirfrequency.(D) S. aureus evolved to resist vaccines
