Consider two genes with different expected mutation rates due to size. Gene 1 has a mutation rate of 1 x 10-6 in the population, while gene 2 has a mutation rate of 3 x 10-6 in the population. Assume that the probability for an individual to have two mutations in one gene is 0. Also, the number of bases, n, in a gene is large.

  1. State the probability for gene 1 and for gene 2 that there is exactly one person with a mutation in the gene in a random sample of 1000 people.

  1. State the probability for gene 1 and for gene 2 that there is exactly one person with a mutation in either of the two genes in your sample.

  1. State the probability for each gene separately that they are exactly two people with mutations in your sample.

  1. State the probability that there is either zero or at least one person with a mutation in a gene in your sample.

1. Consider two genes that are independent, the A gene and the B gene. Each gene has two alleles (A gene: A1 and A2, B gene: B1 and B2). The frequency of A1 allele at the A gene is 0.37 and the frequency of the B2 allele at the B gene is 0.73. What is the probability of an individual in a randomly mating population of having A1A2B1B2 as their genotype? 2. In a population of bacterial cells you know...

Two different genes encode enzymes that perform different biochemical functions. 1.Singly, mutations in these two different genes cause two different phenotypes. When combined, a double mutant individual (carrying mutations in both genes) has a new phenotype! These genes are described as: Group of answer choices a.Duplicate genes b.Pleiotropic genes c.Additive genes d.Lethal genes 2. he term for a mutation that is loss-of-function, and results in zero gene activity is: Group of answer choices a.Hypermorphic mutation b.Hypomorphic mutation c.Null mutation d.Neomorphic...

Consider a population of individuals each of whom possesses two genes which can be either type A or type a. Suppose that in outward appearance type A is dominant and type a is recessive. (That is, an individual will have only the outward characteristics of the recessive gene if it is aa.) Suppose that the population has stabilized, and the percentages of individuals having respective gene pairs AA, aa, and Aa are p,q, and r. Call an individual dominant or...

Question 4 Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a recessively inherited genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the HFE gene. There are several possible mutations of different degrees of importance but the disease expresses itself only when at least 2 are present in any one individual. A blood analysis was performed on 3,000 blood samples from newborn babies of Caucasian descent in the state of Michigan, USA. The results showed that 163 of those sampled carried two mutations in the HFE gene....

Two genes’ expression values follow a bivariate normal distribution. Let X and Y denote their expression values respectively. Also assume that X has mean 9 and variance 3; Y has mean 10 and variance 5; and the covariance between X and Y is 2. In a trial, 50 independent measurements of the expression values of the two genes are collected, and denoted as 1 1 ( , ) X Y , …, 50 50 ( , ) X Y ....

Section C – Mutation of SARS-CoV-2 Over Time All viruses accumulate mutations over time, and different classes of viruses have different mutation rates based on the fidelity with which their genomes are replicated. Viral mutations can affect the accuracy of tests, the efficacy of vac- cines, and virulence (the ability to spread, the seriousness of illness, etc.). In this section you will compare a number of sequenced genomes from clinical samples during the first several months of the COVID-19 outbreak...

1. RFLPs, used in the search for the Huntington's Disease gene, can be used to identify point mutations through which of the following mechanisms? Group of answer choices a. The mutation can occur in a restriction site, causing a change in the cutting pattern for restriction enzymes. b. The mutation can be silent in the coding for protein resulting in a different amino acid being inserted. c. The mutation can occur outside of a restriction site causing a change in...
