Problem 3. In a population of cattle, the frequency of allele R is .7 and of allele r is .3. Also, the mutation rate of the R allele to the r alleles was calculated to be 0.00003. A. Predict the frequency of R after 50 and 200 generations of mutation. B. How many generations would take for the frequency of R to reach 0.6?

Problem 1)   Tay-Sachs disease is caused by loss of function mutation in a gene on chromosome 15 that codes for an enzyme. The disease is an inherited autosomal recessive condition which is found amongst Ashkenazi Jews of Central European origin. In this population, 2 in 4,900 children are born with the disease. What proportion of the population are carriers (heterozygotes) for this disease? Problem 2) Skin colour in dolphins is determined by a single gene showing incomplete dominance giving rise to 3 phenotypes Brown, Pink & White. A survey of a large population of dolphins was carried out and the phenotypes recorded. However a student who had some of the data stored on their phone fell overboard and unfortunately the data was lost. The only data saved was that the brown homozygous dominants (BB) were 64% of the population . a) What would be the percentage of pink heterozygotes and white homozygotes? b) What percentage of the gametes that give rise to the next…
Problem 4)   About 7% of men in a population are red-green colour blind due to a sex-linked recessive gene. Assuming random mating in the population with respect to colour blindness; a) What percentage of women would be expected to be colour blind? b) What percentage of women would be expected to be heterozygous? c) What percentage of men would be colour blind in the next generation?

Question:- 1. Brassica oleracea is the wild plant from which brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower were domesticated. Why is it important to keep many diverse seeds from the forb B. oleracea across its range? A. If our B. oleracea-derived crops are driven to extinction, we can re-domesticate them from the wild plant. B. Our crop Brassicas are much more genetically diverse than B. oleracea because of extensive breeding programs, so we need to conserve as much of B. oleracea's diversity as possible. C. The budding pattern in Brassica may be further modified to produce more productive crop plants. D. B. oleracea may have gene variants that can be incorporated into our domesticated plants to increase their environmental range or tolerance to pests. E. We may be able to domesticate another crop plant from B. oleracea.
