Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 5TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY
The scientists mapping human SNPs noticed that groups of SNPs tended to be inherited together. In blocks known as "haplotypes." ranging from 5.000 to 200,000 base pairs. There are only four or five commonly occurring combinations of SNPs per haplotype. Integrating what you've learned throughout this chapter and this unit, propose an explanation for this observation.

. Figure 18-14 presents haplotype data for the G6PD genein a worldwide sample of people.a. Draw a haplotype network for these haplotypes.Label the branches on which each SNP occurs.b. Which of the haplotypes has the most connectionsto other haplotypes?c. On what continents is this haplotype found?d. Counting the number of SNPs along the branchesof your network, how many differences are therebetween haplotypes 1 and 12?
. Use the following sequence data to assign haplotypes and build a haplotype network for a 200 bp variable region that is sequenced from eight individuals. Polymorphic nucleotide positions are shown. Δ is a 1 bp deletion. Explain the logic supporting the network. If there are different nucleotide changes at one position, indicate the different changes on your network.

- You learned in the chapter that an STR locus is a locus where alleles differ in the number of copies of a short, tandemly repeated DNA sequence. PCR is used to determine the number of alleles present, as shown by the size of the DNA fragment amplified. In the Figure below are the results of PCR analysis for STR alleles at a locus where the repeat unit length is 9 bp, and alleles are known that have 5 to 11 copies of the repeat. Given the STR alleles present in the adults, state whether each of the four juveniles could or could not be an off-spring of those two adults.

- Imagine a 9-armed, hairy monster, who lives in Monster Land. It has a genome that is very similar to a mammal genome (diploid, same type of sex determination, etc). There are three different colours of this monster: Purple, Yellow, and Purple and Yellow mixed. Here is a table of 20 individuals and 10 SNPs, where the name of the SNP is the chromosome and the position (chromosome.position). Using this table, do a GWAS with only these 10 SNPs.

They undergo a mutation rate that is at least ten times greater than that of nuclear genes There are thousands of copies of each in every cell and their information is redundant They both contain a relatively small number of genes and all are under strong selective constraint They are both involved in cytoplasmic inheritance and approximately 10% of individuals have been found to be chimeras They are paternally and maternally inherited, respectfully, and there is therefor no opportunity for recombination to occurarrow_forwardTake a look at question 3 in More Genetic TIPS. Let’s suppose amale is heterozygous for two polymorphic sequence-tagged sites.STS-1 exists in two sizes: 211 bp and 289 bp. STS-2 also exists intwo sizes: 115 bp and 422 bp. A sample of sperm was collectedfrom this man, and individual sperm were placed into 30 separatetubes. Into each of the 30 tubes were added the primers that amplifySTS-1 and STS-2, and then the samples were subjected toPCR. The following results were obtained:arrow_forward
