#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. Both lac operons repressible, mutation is recessive

  2. One lac operon nonrepressible, mutation is cis-dominant

  3. Both lac operons uninducible, mutation is trans-dominant

  4. One lac operon nonrepressible, mutation is  trans-negative

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carries. If the Generation 1 follow the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
a) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to P2
b) there were 500 albino individuals in generation one.
c) then the number of homozygous aa albino individuals would be equal to q2
d) there were 25 albino individuals in generation one.
Which of the following is the correct prediction about the hardy-weingburg equilibrium?

The interaction of selection and inbreeding in determining the incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. Consider a gene in which recessive mutations occur at a rate of 10-5. Assume a selective disadvantage S of 0.4 in homozygotes for the recessive allele. What is the frequency of the recessive allele (q). And calculate the incidence of the disease. Assume random mating.

The interaction of selection and inbreeding in determining the incidence of autosomal recessive diseases. Consider a gene in which recessive mutations occur at a rate of 10-5. Assume a selective disadvantage S of 0.4 in homozygotes for the recessive allele. Now assume that, for thousands of generations, 10% of all children have been products of first-cousin matings (the remaining 90% being products of random matings). Calculate the steady-state value of q. Also calculate the incidence of the disease at steady state.
