Ancestry prediction in 23 & Me is continuously updated as new individuals aregenotyped. This can change an individual’s personal predicted ancestry by refining theregion of ancestral origins or potentially identifying a less common ancestry in the lineage.This can similarly happen with animals where new breeds are identified in an individual’sancestry as new breeds are genotyped. Explain how ancestry prediction is done and howthat prediction can change as more individuals are genotyped.
In a human population of 1000, 840 are tongue rollers (360 TT and 480 Tt), and 160 are not tongue rollers (tt). What is the frequency of the dominantallele (T) in the population?
In domesticated dogs, size has a high heritability, andthe trait is determined by only a small number ofgenes. In contrast, genetic variation at more than180 QTLs explains only a very small proportion ofthe high heritability for height in humans. What couldexplain the missing heritability in humans, and howcould you test your hypothesized explanations?
I've observed varying egg mimic sizes on female fins: large, small, or none. I found that this trait follows Mendelian genetics with a single locus having two alleles: BB (large mimic), Bb (small mimic), and bb (no mimic). During a recent collection trip, we gathered 211 males with large egg mimics, 156 with small mimics, and 28 with no mimics. Is the locus in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and what's the expected frequency of the small egg mimic phenotype in this population? 1.Yes it is in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.07 2.Yes it is in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.39 3.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.53 4.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 0.20 5.No it is not in HW equilibrium, expected = 1.0
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…
Oldfield mice that live on beaches of the gulf and Atlantic coast of Florida tend to white, wherease their inland relatives are brown. Is the whiteness of the Atlantic beaches at homologous to that of the gulf? Or is it plesiomorphic? How are these hypotheses evaluated?
A danger in computing heritability values from studiesinvolving genetically related individuals is the possibility that theseindividuals share more similar environments than do unrelatedindividuals. In the experiment shown in Figure 24.8, which dataare the most compelling evidence that ridge count is not causedby genetically related individuals sharing common environments?Explain
Inbreeding in a population causes a deviation fromHardy–Weinberg expectations such that there aremore homozygotes than expected. For a locus with arare deleterious allele at a frequency of 0.04, whatwould be the frequency of homozygotes for the deleterious allele in populations with inbreeding coefficientsof F = 0.0 and F = 0.125?
You conduct an RFLP analysis of head weight in one strain of cabbage;you determine that seven QTLs affect this trait. In anotherstrain of cabbage, you find that only four QTLs affect this trait.Note that both strains of cabbage are from the same species, althoughthey may have been subjected to different degrees of inbreeding.Explain how one strain can have seven QTLs andanother strain four QTLs for exactly the same trait. Is the secondstrain missing three genes?
The human MN blood type is determined by two codominant alleles, LMand LN. The frequency of LM in Eskimos on a small Arctic island is0.80.a. If random mating takes place in this population, what are the expectedfrequencies of the M, MN, and N blood types on the island?b. If the inbreeding coefficient for this population is 0.05, what are theexpected frequencies of the M, MN, and N blood types on the island?
In a populationof manatees, short whiskers are recessive to long whiskers. There are estimated to be only 4387 manatee left in the world. Of these, 827 have short whiskers. What is the frequency of homozygous recessive individuals?
The ratio of nonsynonymous differences pernonsynonymous site, dN, to synonymous differences per synonymous site, dS, can be usedto test for positive selection Imagine that in a duplicate pair of loci, oneparalog is evolving neutrally while the other isevolving under strong positive selection.
