6. You have identified an autosomal gene that contributesto tail size in male guppies, with a dominant allele B forlarge tails and a recessive allele b for small tails. Femaleguppies of all genotypes have similar tail sizes. Youknow that female guppies usually mate with males withthe largest tails, but the effects of population densityand the ratio of the sexes on this preference have notbeen studied. You therefore place an equal number ofmales in three tanks. In tank 1, the number of femalesis twice the number of males. In tank 2, the numbers ofmales and females are equal. In tank 3, half as manyfemales as males are present. After mating, you findthe following proportions of small-tailed males amongthe progeny: tank 1, 16%; tank 2, 25%; tank 3, 30%.a. In your original population (before the animals wereplaced in the three tanks), 25% of the males havesmall tails. Assuming that the allele frequencies inmales and females are the same, calculate the frequencies of B and b in your…
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
A certain form of congenital glaucoma is caused by an autosomalrecessive allele. Assume that the mutation rate is 10-5 and that peoplewith this condition produce, on the average, only about 80% of theoffspring produced by people who do not have glaucoma.a. At equilibrium between mutation and selection, what will the frequencyof the gene for congenital glaucoma be?b. What will the frequency of the disease be in a randomly matingpopulation that is at equilibrium?
Which of the following represents an example of qualitative phenotypic variation? a. the lengths of peoples toes b. the body sizes of pigeons c. human ABO blood types d. the birth weights of humans e. the number of leaves on oak trees
8. About 70% of people get a bitter taste from the chemical phenyl thiocarbamide (PTC), while the other 30% do not. The ability to taste this chemical (T) is a dominant characteristic, while taste-blindness to it is recessive (t). Tongue-rolling ability is dominant (R), while the inability to roll the tongue is recessive (r). A tongue-rolling woman who is taste-blind for PTC has a father who could not roll his tongue but could taste the PTC chemical. She marries a man who can taste PTC but cannot roll his tongue. His mother was taste-blind to the chemical. Show the possible children this couple could produce.

From a biological viewpoint, speculate as to why many traits seemto fit a normal distribution. Students with a strong background inmath and statistics may want to explain how a normal distributionis generated, and what it means. Can you think of biological examplesthat do not fit a normal distribution?
. Consider the genotypes of two lines of chickens: thepure-line mottled Honduran is i/i ; D/D ; M/M ; W/W, andthe pure-line leghorn is I/I ; d/d ; m/m ; w/w, whereI = white feathers, i = colored feathersD = duplex comb, d = simplex combM = bearded, m = beardlessW = white skin, w = yellow skinThese four genes assort independently. Starting withthese two pure lines, what is the fastest and mostconvenient way of generating a pure line that has coloredfeathers, has a simplex comb, is beardless, and has yellowskin? Make sure that you showa. the breeding pedigree.b. the genotype of each animal represented.c. how many eggs to hatch in each cross, and why thisnumber.d. why your scheme is the fastest and the mostconvenient
The original source of new alleles, upon which selection operates,is mutation, a random event that occurs without regard to selectionalvalue in the organism. Although many model organismshave been used to study mutational events in populations, someinvestigators have developed abiotic molecular models. Soll et al.(2006. Genetics 175:267–275) examined one such model to studythe relationship between both deleterious and advantageousmutations and population size in a ligase molecule composed ofRNA (a ribozyme). Soll found that the smaller the population ofmolecules, the more likely it was that not only deleterious mutationsbut also advantageous mutations would disappear. Whywould population size influence the survival of both types ofmutations (deleterious and advantageous) in populations?

150 patients with Crohn’s disease are given an experimental treatment in which they all drink “cocktails” containing thousands of pinworm eggs. Within one week, 72% of the patients report a reduction in their abdominal pain. Fill in the following table. Is there a control treatment (and, if so, what is it)? Is there any accounting for individual variation? Is there repetition in the experiment? What, if any, confounding variables are not addressed in the experiment? Can we say with some confidence that ingesting pinworm eggs is an effective treatment for the symptoms of Crohn’s disease?
