#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
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 carriers. Has the frequency of allele a changed between Generations 1 and 2?

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?

Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. What is the probability that a child will be albino if: Both parents are non-albino members of Generation 2?

Consider a heritable autosomal disease with an incidence in the population of 1 per thousand. On average, individuals with the disease have 80% as many children as the population average. In answering the various parts of this question, assume that mating is random. What mutation rate would be required to maintain the observed incidence of the disease in the population if the disease is dominant?
