#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

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.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

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.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

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. Would q be expected to rise, fall, or remain unchanged during the first 10 generations after the cessation of inbreeding, Briefly justify your answer. What numerical value would q approach after thousands of generations with no inbreeding?
